Give them the gift of play with a Minnesota Children’s Museum membership!
If you’re looking for the perfect gift for a special family in your life, we’ve got a great idea. Give them the gift of play with an annual membership to Minnesota Children’s Museum, the largest children’s museum in the state with three floors of fun and enriching activities for the entire family.
Here are our top four reasons why a museum membership is the perfect gift idea (plus, keep reading for a special deal for Minnesota Parent readers):
- It’s a terrific value
With an annual Minnesota Children’s Museum membership, the entire family can visit as often as they’d like for a full year. That’s right – a membership includes the whole family in a household, not just one person. Household memberships start at just $155 per year. Doing some quick math, for a family of five, membership more than pays for itself in just two visits. Membership also comes with other benefits, like discounted guest admission tickets, exhibit sneak peeks, discounts at other retailers and attractions, exclusive members-only events, and more. That’s a great deal!
- There’s always something new to see or do at the museum
With 11 different exhibit spaces, there’s always something new for kids and families to discover at Minnesota Children’s Museum. Play in the pretend town in Our World; scale the four-story climber and whoosh down the spiral slide in The Scramble; pretend to scuba dive through a sunken ship in Shipwreck Adventures; splash around in the water table in Sprouts; explore cause and effect in Forces at Play; and more. Plus, the museum hosts some of the top traveling exhibits in the country. Upcoming special exhibits are updated here.
- It’s fun and so much more
Ask any kid what they think of Minnesota Children’s Museum, and they’ll say it’s a blast. But they may not realize that they’re also developing essential lifelong skills along the way – like confidence, creative and critical thinking, communication, and more. Play has also been shown to reduce stress and anxiety and increase social-emotional development.
On top of that, the museum is a great place to make family memories away from the distractions of home and school. And with so much time spent on devices these days, the museum offers a wonderful opportunity to bond screen-free and build memories that will last a lifetime.
- Experiences make the best gifts
Rather than giving kids more toys and electronics, provide them with the excitement that comes from an experiential gift. Experience gifts create long-lasting memories and are way more unique to the receiver. Kids will love the museum’s open-ended experiences and look forward to revisiting their favorite exhibits and discovering new experiences. Imagine knowing that your gift will bring joy and be used again and again for an entire year.
