Where Did We Go Wednesday? Science Museum of MInnesota

As I mentioned last week when we had gone to the winter carnival we coupled it with a trip to the Science Museum of Minnesota.

We had renewed our membership and we're were excited to check out what was new and see a film at the Omni Theater.

Omnifest is actually going on so there is a variety of films to choose from some new and some older. We ended up seeing Rocky Mountain Express. Because we are members we are able to see a free movie each time we go and we can book our tickets online in advance for free. It used to not be free to book it online so I was happy that it was. With it being omnifest The movies do fill up quickly. When we arrived at the Museum there was a sign saying that the next show wasn't until later in the evening then we were seeing a show so I was very pleased we booked it in advance.

We spent most of our 4 hours there doing all the different special projects they had set up for the day. The Omni movie was 45 minutes long and we watched a couple 10-15 minute long presentations.

Where Did We Go Wednesday? St. Paul Winter Carnival

 For the first time, we attended the Saint Paul Winter Carnival. Unfortunately, it was the last day of the carnival that usually last around 2 weeks. So you won't be able to attend at this year but you can add it to your list of ideas to do next year. It is free to walk through Rice Park.

 We only went to the activities at the rice Park location but there were other events going on at the State Fairgrounds. At the rice Park location is where you will find the ice castle and all of the ice sculptures. There is also a stage that host a variety of performers.

We coupled this with a visit to the Science Museum and just walked the one block from the science museum to Rice Park.
