Grand Opening of the Minnesota Children’s Museum

(This is a sponsored post. Please see full disclosure below.)

Today the Minnesota Children’s Museum is celebrating it’s Grand Opening—or grand re-opening, as the case may be. We had the opportunity to get a sneak peek of the newly re-imagined Children’s Museum last Friday and were thrilled by how different and awesome it is!

I went with my daughter, a fellow STMA-area mom friend, and her two kids aged 7 and 5. We were expecting a few new exhibits and some add-ons, but what we found instead was a completely new museum. Most of the existing exhibits had been replaced by brand new ones, and the few things that were brought back were in different locations and with a new look.
