We had such a fun time checking out the brand-new Game On! exhibit at the Minnesota Children’s Museum in St. Paul, and I can already tell it’s probably already a favorite for many.

The best part? It’s included with regular admission (no extra fees — yay!) and will be open through January 4, 2026.

There’s truly something for every age in this space. Even the little ones aren’t left out — there’s a special tot area just for ages 3 and under, with safe toys that make them feel included in all the fun.

For the bigger kids (and us parents too!), the exhibit is packed with larger-than-life games that put a whole new spin on family playtime.

Candy Land was a huge hit — not only do you walk through the colorful path, but there are dress-up costumes and whimsical bridges to climb along the way. It felt like stepping right inside the board game we all know and love. 

And the mini golf was fun for all kids.

The ping pong table and skee ball might have been our favorites. 

And then there was 3D Twister — imagine the classic mat game, but on raised platforms instead. 

I love that the museum keeps things fresh by switching out some of the games — which means each visit could feel a little different.

Of course, after all that fun we couldn’t leave without checking out other activities at the Minnesota Children’s Museum. 

They have a new musical playground in Creativity Jam, including drums and other instruments you can play.

And of course there are the classics like Our World, Shipwreck Adventures, and the Scramble.

If you’ve been thinking about a trip to the Minnesota Children’s Museum, now’s the time to go.

By the time we were done, we were happily exhausted and still thinking about our favorite moments. Game On! isn’t just an exhibit — it’s a chance to slow down, play, and make silly memories together.
