This is a very interesting museum and riding the elevator up and down while hearing of the experiences of the workers there is fascinating. Our 12 year old gave it a mild thumbs up - she has a low tolerance for museums, so that's pretty good!

Fantastic learning experience for young and old. Incredible tour ride through history. I would recommend this to anyone.

I love history and it gets no better than this. The story of how Minneapolis was built on the hydro power of St Anthony Falls that led to the largest milling district in the country is fascinating for kids and adults. Plus, it invites you to venture out to this great urban spot on the Mississippi River. Enjoy!

Very educational place to stop and learn about the Mill City! We all learned a lot. The kids even got a Jr. Ranger badge. They had a great elevator "ride" showing you different parts of the mill. They also had interpreters on hand to answer any questions.

We chose the Mill City Museum because Minneapolis was having an unseasonable snowstorm near the end of April. What a great find. It is a state of the art museum with wonderful interactive exhibits. It is perfect for a family visit or to tour solo. If I ever get back to Minnesota, I would like to spend more time there.

The entire museum is very well set up and maintained; it's in an old flour mill and has a wonderful, almost spooky atmosphere. The Baking Lab which is part of the Museum is really nice. They have demos going on and fresh baked treats to sample. A really nice setup and a lovely setting in the historic Mississippi River district.... More

Some ladies from church took a trip there for the afternoon, and it was great!! We learned a lot of new things, took the tour, which was great, and we had a wonderful time. Definitely want to go again and take the family.

Great interactive museum for the whole family! Take the 2 hour tour thru the former flour mill...spectacular architecture and amazing vistas of the Mississippi River. Visist the famous Gutherie Theatre next door for more great views. Walk accross the Stome Arch Bridge, just below the St. Anthony Dam... in the area where Minneapolis was born, in the mid-1980's.. Situated just... More

I normally don't love museums, but my wife's family wanted to check it out. It turns out that this is one of my favorite museums--interesting history of the Minneapolis mill district and the city in general. As someone who likes to bake bread, I enjoyed learning about the differences between all the types of flour. This is a top-notch operation--great... More
