Minnesota Children's Museum

The Crowne Plaza St. Paul hotel offers the perfect destination among greater Minneapolis hotels for Minnesota family vacations. This downtown St. Paul hotel provides a central location close to numerous family-friendly things to do in the Twin Cities.

Spend an exciting and educational day with the kids at the Minnesota Children’s Museum, one of the most popular St. Paul, Minnesota attractions in the area. Wake refreshed after a peaceful night in your spacious accommodations. Enjoy a delicious breakfast at one of our onsite restaurants, then head over to the museum, less than half a mile away.

The Minnesota Children’s Museum is a 65,000 square foot complex housing a variety of permanent and temporary exhibits designed for children of all ages to discover interesting facts about the world around them. Bring your child to this museum to encourage learning through fun and engaging exhibits which allow for complete interaction.

In the Earth World® exhibit, they can marvel at live turtles, crawl and play under a 500 gallon aquarium and make their way through a giant anthill, exiting on a beaver slide. For babies and toddlers, Habitot® is the perfect place for the younger crowd to learn and play in exhibits made especially for them. Enjoy Minnesota’s fabulous weather from May through September at our newest permanent addition, the Rooftop ArtPark where nature meets art and kids can play in a 4-level tree fort, splash in the streambed or use their imaginations in the sand cove.
