Lots of hands-on activities in this museum, the kids (ages 5,8,10) really enjoyed the current SPARK exhibit. Tickets are very reasonably priced. We visited in winter, but the outdoor spaces look like they’d be lovely. Oh, and the Lego Hide&Seek was a fun challenge, we absolutely could not find Florence Nightingale, maybe you will!

Such a great hands on science museum. However, first time in the four years I've gone that I got to learn humidity effects static electricity and so Ben Franklin's experience did not happen today. Blue Star Museum for military members. Also has a great 10 minute immersive experience for Frankenstein Monster

So incredible! Far exceeded expectations and the staff is phenomenal!! Can't wait to go back! Update: I went back with my 5 year old son. He has begged everyday to go back!! With 4 boys ages 5-19, I have spent many days in museums; this is my all time favorite inside and out!! Thank you, to the entire staff for priceless memories. We can't wait to go back again!!

The Bakken museum was the perfect venue for HUGE theater’s Black and Funny improv festival. The rooftop made for a safe setting and allowed me sit and enjoy myself under a tent while looking out into the skyline. There were moments I thought I was in France, with the glass and metal pyramids on the rooftop and the beautiful gardens and landscaping on all sides. The museum itself is modern and their current exhibit is hands on and makes use of animation and electronic art. Read all things Twin Cities and reviews at the global dig.blogspot.com

The Bakken Museum is an absolute gem of a museum. The building it is in is fascinating. The rooms have a beautiful charm to them. The Frankenstein play and room is outstanding. The place is perfect for children to explore and adults to be entertained. It is off the beaten path but certainly worth a stop.

As a family, we had so much fun here! I wish we would’ve had more time! The kids enjoyed the crafts and especially trying the prosthetics. There is a lot to see and do. If we lived closer, we would definitely visit again! The staff were all very kind and helpful.

My daughters love this place. It’s a fun museum for adults and kids alike. Enjoy exploring a remodeled mansion with a rich history while learning about the breakthrough technologies that gave rise to modern electricity. They have some very creative hands-on exhibits that will “charge” your day. And another exhibit of Frankenstein that shows how the story and the monster came to life. And you can’t beat the location right next to the lake. It’s worth a visit in winter or summer. And if you’re a veteran, they are a Blue Star Museum, which gives you and your family discounted or free access.

Amazing museum celebrating the medical device history of Minnesota and Earl Bakken! Interactive, scientific, educational, and fun--this place is so fun to explore right on the banks of Lake Calhoun. Exceptional staff--so friendly and excellent programs to supply accesses to all--we really appreciate this neighborhood gem. Looking forward to the summer camps!

Jim at the desk was awesome and gave a warm welcome. The museum was electrically stimulating. Good luck finding all the Lego characters fun challenge if your up for it :)
