Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The Children's Museum of Southern Minnesota is the brainchild of a group of community members, educators, and business leaders who wanted an inviting and safe place for children to learn, play, and grow. Though it has had many temporary locations since its origin in 2006, it wasn’t until 2015 that the museum found its permanent place in the city’s former mass transit building. All children and families are invited to participate in the unique programs, which vary throughout the year but may include exhibits such as understanding the workings of a dairy barn, figuring out how sun-sensitive paper works, or going on archaeology digs to better understand the land.
