I never knew about this place until I was looking up where my Field Museum membership (a large and popular museum in Chicago) could get me. It's tucked away in Twin Cities suburb but it really is a superb place. Whether you are looking to take your children there for an educational experience or visiting as an adult, there are things for everyone. I personally found the segments that they have focusing on electricity to be the most interesting. A good place to check out, and especially look into it if you have a museum membership in the Midwest, it's probably going to be free if you do.

Neat museum on the lake! It was great to learn about the history of electricity and play with the different experiments. The doctor Frankenstein exhibit was spectacular, I would love to go back and learn more. Great for elementary students and and everyone else. I also loved the connection to Minnesota technology and the 3M scientist, a great place to visit for STEM field trips. Make sure to support your local museums, buy a t shirt and keep these wonderful places operational.

This small museum focused on the history of electricity is excellent. There are many interactive exhibits that make learning about electricity fun for the whole family. The museum was once an old historical home so you get to explore a fantastic old mansion the same time you learn about electricity.

Great museum for adults and kids. It will take about 1.5-2 hours to go through if you interact with and read most things in the museum.
