Grand Opening: Saturday

Experience the new Bell Museum inside and out, with an epic opening day from 9am-9pm.

Be among the first visitors to the amazing Touch & See Lab and Collections Cove, sketch rare items from our educational collection, build your own mini diorama to take home, and find your inner scientist with fascinating demos and hands on activities throughout the building. We will be premiering the Bell original planetarium production of Minnesota in the Cosmos in the Whitney and Elizabeth Planetarium along with No Limits!, a journey through space and time, exploring some of the big questions that astronomy is trying to answer.

We’ll also have a variety of free experiences in the outdoor Learning Landscape between 9 am and 6 pm, including an interactive water rocket launching station and more.
