Science Museum of Minnesota

The Science Museum of Minnesota is a favorite family attraction in St. Paul. Visit any time of year to experience a renowned collection of galleries, interactive experiments, demonstrations and exhibits you won't find anywhere else. As a hotel in downtown St. Paul, MN, we're located only half a mile away.

Arrive early so you have time to see and do it all. Favorite exhibits include the Dinosaur Gallery featuring the 82-foot mounted Diplodocus skeleton. The Experiment Gallery lets kids go hands-on, whether creating a weather system or operating a steam engine. The Gallery of Questionable Medical Devices is a fun look into the history of "bad" medicine.

Continue the fun while resting your feet at the Omnitheater. Films cover a wide range of topics and require an extra admission. Science Live takes the experience to a whole new level with a festive mixture of dramatic theatre and science. Live is free with admission.
