Early Learning Explores the Children's Museum in St. Paul

Thursday, February 27th, was an unforgettable adventure as the Minnesota Children’s Museum in Saint Paul closed its doors to the public and opened exclusively for NPAS families! Nearly 100 Early Learning families totaled over 350 people including moms, dads, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and children—who filled the museum with laughter, curiosity, and boundless energy.

With three floors of hands-on exhibits, kids climbed high in "The Scramble," splashed in "Forces at Play," became problem-solvers and came face to face with the prehistoric world and met dinosaurs of all shapes and sizes with interactive activities. Parents and grandparents joined in the fun, proving that play truly has no age limit!

Seeing our NPAS families connect, explore, and engage in pure, unstructured play in this incredible space was a joy. The Minnesota Children's Museum is truly a gem—a place where imagination runs wild, creativity takes center stage, and learning happens through joyful discovery. Thank you to all of the Early Learning Team who volunteered their time.
