This is a must visit museum if you are visiting from out of town. It walks you through the overall history of Minneapolis, why it was essential to be built next to to St Anthony falls, and how the city grew and faded with the Mississippi River. The museum is so well put together bringing both milling and water harnessing to the core, intermixed with history and the development of the city. You'll absolutely love the Flour Tower exhibit. Won't spoil it for you. If you have kids, highly recommend spending a solid 2 hours or more at this brilliant museum. Also given its strategic location next to the river, it is awesome to combo it with the river-side walk.
What a fun, educational adventure! Low cost entry fee. Lots of fun history to look at. I loved the flour tower elevator ride and getting to go to the observation deck. What a beautiful view of the city!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$6–10
Wonderful museum that tells the history of Minneapolis through its successful flour milling companies that still exist today. The exhibits and experiences help understand the initial founding of the city, early colonizers, and necessary labor movement that grew out of a highly profitable but dangerous industry in its early days. The ruins of the former mill are a dramatic backdrop to the gorgeous river and falls views, which show how civic engineering can change a city's fortunes.
I've always loved this place! I started bringing my daughter when she was 3 years old, now she's 19 and still had fun. I'm allegedly an adult, but I still had fun playing in the water tables. Definitely recommend it. The views from the observation deck are with the price of admission, make it a day trip across the bridge and take time to check out the ruins.
Mill City museum really exceeded my expectations. The museum was filled with fascinating information in video and exhibit turn which is pretty expected, however there is a really cool introduction movie and the elevator show was fantastic. Also the view at the top of the museum is exceptional. Highly recommended.
Super cool space to learn more about something we all have, flour! My kids loved the interactive exhibits. The water lab was a special favorite. Make sure to go up to the very top!! Incredible place!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot surePrice for adult entry$11–15
A beautiful museum. My favorite part was the “flour tower” elevator ride that not only showed off the timeline of the museum, but also simulated some of the big movements and disasters. It ends with a great view of the city from the observation deck. The ruins are picturesque, as well.
The elevator show was great. The view from the top floor is fantastic. All the staff is very knowledgeable. It's great to bring kids but adults may be a little board.
Great job giving a good history lesson of an interesting time for the Twin Cities. I especially enjoyed the flour Tower and hearing the stories and voices of the people who worked in the mill. You could hear their pride in what they and the mill achieved.
Definitely worth the $12 admission to the museum portion! It’s much more than just a regular museum. Very interactive with a storytelling freight elevator tour with views from the top of the building. Very knowledgeable workers who don’t bore. Everything they said was interesting and all of the regular museum displays hold your interest. Wonderful gift shop as well!
