Mill City Museum: what do users think?

Sandra Pritchard: We thought it would be a quick visit. No, it was well thought out. A 20 minute film on the history of the Mills and Minneapolis. Then the Flour Tower, inspired. I am not going to give away secrets 😁. The whole experience of the Mill City Museum was awesome. It is a must to see. Views of the Mississippi from the observation deck were breathtaking.

Richard Erickson: Wonderful museum. About 2 to 3 hours for a visit. Great for kids with lots of hands-on exhibits.The flour tower is a cool exhibit. Great place to introduce people to the history of Minneapolis.

Jillissa Molnari: I recently visited Mill City Museum and was amazed by its rich history and unique setting. The museum, built within the ruins of the Washburn A Mill, offers a captivating glimpse into the revolutionary milling processes that shaped Minneapolis into the flour milling capital of the world in the late 19th century. The museum showcases the technological advancements of the Washburn-Crosby Co., later General Mills, and how it brought fine wheat flour to the masses. Walking through the National Historic Landmark, I could feel the significance of this site and its impact on the local community. The Minnesota Historical Society has done a fantastic job preserving and presenting this important piece of history. A must-visit for history buffs and anyone interested in Minneapolis' industrial heritage. The interactive Flour Tower was amazing, including a ride to the top of the mill and being able to see much of the Mississippi River!

The Museum of Russian Art: what do users think?

Gayle M: The museum was fabulously curated, and the building is a work of art in and of itself. They had exhibits from their permanent collection, cartoons and political art, surrealist work and modern large sculptures with natural wood and metal. Each artist had a story - many were about their difficulty pursuing their art in Russia. It was an incredible testimony to the freedoms we take for granted here in the United States.

Chang-Tsan Lu: We came here through the program "Museum on Us" by the Bank of America, and I feel grateful to have the opportunity to visit this little gem in the Twin Cities region. The museum is small, but the collection of art does shed some light on the Soviet culture. We enjoyed being here.Visited on Weekend Wait time No wait Reservation recommended No …

Eric Gustafson: Incredible! Well, it's credible, but very.

Milton Siegele: "The work of art is born of the artist in a mysterious and secret way. From him it gains life and being. Nor is its existence casual and inconsequent, but it has a definite and purposeful strength, alike in its material and spiritual life."~Wassily KandinskyWhat a beautifully pleasant surprise if you love art!We were wowed by the permanent collection and a few quite extraordinary pieces like:Milkmaids, Novella, 1962Nikolai N. BaskakovOil on Canvas, 47 x 90Gift of Pam and Jack Safar, 2015The architectural design of the gallery.is beautiful too.-The Museum of Russian Art is the only museum in North America dedicated to the preservation and presentation of Russian art and artifacts.They feature a dynamic rotation of exhibitions providing a gateway to understanding Russia's history, its heritage, and its art through the masterworks of its greatest artists.

Mike Olinger: Smaller but very nice art museum featuring artists of Slavic origins and local art as well.

Jes DeLapp: Американско-шведский институт просто поражает воображение. От внешней архитектуры до экспонатов, каждый аспект института излучает ощущение культурного богатства. Когда вы входите внутрь, вы сразу же переноситесь в мир, где оживают шведская история и наследие. Исследуете ли вы хитросплетения исторического особняка Turnblad, погружаетесь в одну из их программ или просто перекусываете в ресторане, здесь есть что-то, что увлечет и вдохновит посетителей всех возрастов.Приверженность института содействию культурному обмену и участию общества заслуживает похвалы. Благодаря разнообразным программам, мероприятиям и образовательным инициативам он служит центром диалога, обучения и прославления как шведской, так и американской культур.Американско-шведский институт является свидетельством способности культурных учреждений преодолевать границы, сокращая разрыв между прошлым и настоящим и способствуя более глубокому пониманию и оценке нашего общего наследия.Наш гид был просто потрясающим, и его на 1000% рекомендуется для самостоятельной прогулки по особняку. Крупицы знаний, которые они имеют, выведут ваш опыт на новый уровень. Это не только образовательный и обогащающий опыт, но также глубокий и незабываемый.

Lyndsey Howard: У нас был действительно прекрасный опыт! Архитектура, искусство и образовательный контент были потрясающими. Персонал был очень привлекательным, но не властным.

Hennepin History Museum: what do users think?

Felix Phoenix: . It was interesting to see the differences and similarities that I've noticed from different areas of the world.I also really enjoyed the Bond Between Us Exhibit. I enjoyed the storytelling and strong visual components in this exhibit. I enjoyed learning about the artist’s roots, and I recommend taking your time to absorb the impact of his story.All in all, it was worthwhile. I was told by Audra at the front desk that they do have live performances there, and special exhibits are coming up in the next couple of months. Spend an hour or two, and enjoy your visit.

Kurt edwards: A tiny museum dedicated to the history of Hennepin County. It does ask for a free will donation.

Ann Hajostek: Cool building and the views are worth it! The museum part was really interesting and surprising to read about the history and background of the building and area a bit more. I’d recommend checking out, something fun to do and see the cities! It was a little cold when we went up because of the wind, but it was tolerable!Wait time No wait Reservation recommended No …

Jamey D.: and wraps around the entire building. There are free tower viewers on each corner of the deck which allow you to see far beyond the city. As it is open-air, be sure to prepare if there is inclement weather in the forecast. The museum is a rather small area which displays the history of the building. It's a nice little lesson if you're into that type of thing. The Museum level is wheelchair friendly, but the observation deck is not. There are no restrooms on this level. This experience is $15 per person as of April 2024.

Laurisa Donte: I went here back in 2022 when I first arrived, and it is still breathtaking in 2024. It was windy that day sooooo...be careful on windy days because it will get you.It's still so beautiful, and I won't post pics about the museum because it's a must go see. I love the history lesson.

Jason Ellis: Good for the right people. Kids under 12 get in free, but make sure you ask for the "observatory" at the red desks. Also....the views are amazing! Their telescopes are from 1962 up there, so if you want a close up....I guess use your phone? lol. All in all, pretty straightforward experience, and you'll get out of it what time you spend on it. oh-and the walkway has no covering, so bring warm clothes!

Levi Purdum: I enjoyed the experience. The staff were friendly and open to conversation. I'm not an artist and certainly an amateur observer of art who greatly enjoyed the leading questions and engagement when offered by staff. In particular the lanky young employee who politely informed me of their water bottle policy before I entered the first exhibit also proved to be a wealth of information. In the very next room another employee successfully challenged me into recognizing a word in what largely appeared to be a jumble of chaos. The statue garden was fantastic and actively enjoyed by children adding a practical value to the inherent aesthetic value.

The Somali Museum of Minnesota: what do users think?

Xasan Daud: Thank you Somali Museum for keeping the importance of our culture and its artifacts, last week i had a great tour together with my kids and we enjoyed. kids learned more about their country and its culture. Thanks Seid for the wonderful tour you provided to us.

Abdullah Hussein: Woow it is good

Cam H: really was the highlight of our visit. She was friendly, informative, and opened up about her personal experience with Somalia which was powerful and insightful. The location is really the only downside to this Museum, as it deserves a much larger space with better public visibility. But between the numerous historical artifacts, well laid out displays, and our wonderful tour guide, we spent well over an hour there and would highly recommend this museum to anyone considering a visit!

CATS FACTS: Very small but very good guided tour

m t muc: Nice people , great heritage

Ai Mb: Super informative museum. Well done

Lizsandra Edwards: Small but powerful. The best part? The staff was amazing. So incredibly kind, friendly and fun! Don’t be turned off from the size of the museum by the way. We spent about an hour there and we could have easily spent much more time! There is so much information and the tour was excellent and well explained. I appreciated how things were explained, we were invited to ask questions and then given a couple minutes to look around and read more information before we moved on to another section of the museum. The worst part? I wish we would have stayed longer!! It was just lovely. They also have a small gift shop in what I think is the office area. It’s very easy to miss and it’s all in one display case so it’s small but I went home with a book written by the founder of the museum that explains the artifacts even more. It was $20 and worth every penny! I am learning Somali so seeing part of the book written in that language was exciting. I think they need to move the display where people can see it though, otherwise you’ll miss out on some neat items. I also wish the museum was easier to find so more people would know it exists, maybe a bigger sign outside so they know it’s in a basement. Either way, I’ll be stopping by again for sure and our visiting friend from London had a great time too! Mahadsanid!

Josie H: Mr. Ali gave us a very informative and personal tour of the museum. He shared his knowledge of Somali history and culture in a way that really drew us in. Hundreds of artifacts in a small space, so plenty to look at and enjoy.

A M: I had a great tour. best ever museum experience I ever had well done The Somali Museum of MN.

Omar Alansari-Kreger: The arrival of the Somali Museum of Minnesota is something long overdue to the metropolitan area. Naturally, this has added to the multicultural richness of the Twin Cities. There are two key exhibits missing from the collection of the museum: the first should focus on documenting a visual history of the Somali Diaspora in Minnesota. Such an exhibit can be initiated by depicting images from the first families arriving in Minnesota from the early-1990s to the present. The same exhibit can also recognize key members of the diaspora that have contributed to the cultural & intellectual enrichment of the Twin Cities while avoiding political themes & topics.Secondly, the museum should have an exhibit on Somali Bantus detailing their history & how their ethnic identity forms part of an integral whole of Somali culture overall. Perhaps the Somali Museum of Minnesota can also work toward hosting a permanent diplomatic mission from Somalia specializing in diasporic affairs? Considering the Twin Cities hosts the largest Somali Diasporic Community in North America, the Somali Museum of Minnesota seems like a logical place to host an official Somali diplomatic mission outside Washington D.C.Finally, the museum should also consider introducing a library featuring Somali literature & transcribed oral poetry with a separate area dedicated to transliterating books from English into Somali for purposes of developing a shared intellectual perspective between both languages.

Josh “Troz” McCauley: Such a well curated space. We got there when they opened on a Saturday and got a private guided tour. I learned so much about Somalia and the culture. Definitely deserving of their Best Small Museum award.

Patrick Buggy: Fun fact: Minnesota has the largest population of Somali people outside of Africa.

Science Museum of Minnesota: what do users think?

Alishia Pete: Went as a school field trip. Great place. We would have enjoyed more if there was less kids. There was like 6 schools there all at the same time. Will take my kids back hopefully when its not as busy so we can enjoy the exhibits more.Visited on Weekday Wait time No wait Reservation recommended Not sure …

MIKE SUESS: FunVisited on Weekend …

Alexi Wells: The museum experience begins as soon as you walk into the building as you are greeted by a couple activities and the trex. A coffee shop style snack kiosk waits in the entrance as well as the S tier gift shop. Once you enter the exhibit areas the floors are packed with kid friendly interactive learning stations and if your kids are anything like mine, they will burn hours playing and learning. My family's favorite exhibits were: the trex racing track and the synthetic tornado. I was surprised by the space exploration section and loved all of the experiments that were available here. The in-house restaurant was still closed when we visited but they said they are working on getting it reopened.SNAP recipients quality for reduced ticket prices.

Niko S: You cannot arrive without appointment. Call them in advance, I think in couple of days before planned visit

Laurie Jensen: Amazing history of the Air National Guard in Minnesota. Terrific collection of aircraft, etc.Visited on Weekend Wait time No wait Reservation recommended Not sure …

Roxie DeJarnette: I could not be happier with our visit. My 1 year old son is OBSESSED with airplanes so imagine my excitement to find this museum. Our guide catered our entire visit to my son which I really appreciated. He was patient and so caring with him, even carrying him around the airplanes so I could take videos. I can’t recommend this place enough. I cannot wait to go back with my son and by myself!

Scott Carlson: Really cool look at some of the MN history of military air contributions. Free to visit and is run off of donations.Visited on Weekend Wait time No wait Reservation recommended Yes Price for adult entry $1–5 …

Alex Meyer: This is a really cool museum to visit. It's within the actual base itself so there's security checks and all that. When I went a few years ago it was a background search at the gate and an inspection of your car.I think it's changed to requiring advance notice and at the moment it's unfortunately closed for some heightened security reason or another.Hopefully it opens back up.

John Walker: This is a great little air museum. But, I wish they still had the A-12 Blackbird.
