About the Museum

Minnesota Children’s Museum of Rochester is a satellite location of Minnesota Children’s Museum (St. Paul) expected to open in early 2012. The approximately 5,000 square foot museum expects to welcome 30,000 visitors in its first year.

For more than 30 years, Minnesota Children's Museum has embedded the research on play, creativity and child development into its interactive learning environments and programs. Open-ended experiences are designed for children to explore, discover, immerse, imagine and connect.

Strategic Plan

Minnesota Children’s Museum’s newly adopted strategic plan (2011-2015) addresses the need of reaching more of Minnesota's children to nurture creativity and school readiness while activating their parents, educators and caregivers in embracing the essential role of play in learning.

Opening a satellite location in Rochester helps Minnesota Children's Museum expand it's reach through decentralized growth and impact more of Minnesota's children with high-quality learning experiences.
