Minnesota Science Museum – fun thing to do
The Science Museum of Minnesota is in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Specifically, downtown Saint Paul. https://www.smm.org/
What is The Science Museum of Museum?
Founded in 1907 as a nonprofit. It is staffed by over 600 employees. Also, has over 1,600 volunteers. The mission of the museum is to “Turn on the science: Inspire learning. Inform policy. Improve lives.”
In 1999 the new modern facility was opened adjacent to the Mississippi River. During the move 1.75 million artifacts were transported.

It has a dual-screen IMAX/Omnimax theatre. Has a wall screen of IMAX files. And an incredible rotatable dome for viewing Omnitheater films. If you haven’t seen this…then well, you must. It is simply amazing!
