Wonders await kids of all ages and families of all sizes in Minnesota. You'll find epically proportioned playgrounds and larger-than-life art and history exhibits, water parks, roller coasters, and many places to witness wildlife up close. Minnesota is a dog-friendly natural playground just waiting to be explored, with road trips, camping, fishing, hiking, treasure hunting (geocaching) and so much more. Encounter each family adventure together, and make memories to last a lifetime.
