I've been visiting this place regularly since I moved here in 1998, and I've created countless wonderful memories. My grandpa used to work in the Genealogy department, which is still amazing to this day. I enjoyed spending an hour there while we explored the fossil exhibition. Every exhibit and event they host is always engaging and suitable for all ages. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the beauty surrounding the museum is breathtaking—even in winter, the views are stunning. The space is large and comfortable, making it easy to wander around for hours! It's also very affordable, perfect for those days when we’re looking for something to do and always find entertainment.

An excellent museum full of Minnesota history. The campus is beautiful with rustic replicas of the houses where the early settlers lived, beautiful landscape buildings and a Civilian Conservation Corps exhibition. The main museum building has a wealth of history about the working movement and the early mining. The hiking trail Redhead is also nearby. From the beaten path and worth a visit.

Minnesota Discovery Center, Chisholm. Rich in indoor and outdoor displays. Mining and mineral education, etc.

Beautiful Fall venue! Perfect place for holding the Walk to End Alzheimer's. I'll definitely be back to check out the rest of the center another time.

I had a wonderful experience at the CCC Museum, which featured very informative displays. However, the geology exhibits could have been improved with better lighting and functioning displays. The movie in the theater was fantastic and really highlighted the significance of this area in the country's development. The history and ethnology presented were also impressive.
