Science Museum of Minnesota is an interactive science museum located on the Mississippi Riverfront in downtown Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States. It operates as a hands-on museum with exhibits aimed at a broad public audience, including families and school groups.

Exhibition themes commonly include life sciences, earth and environmental science, and regional river ecology; the museum also hosts temporary traveling exhibitions. A signature feature is a domed Omnitheater that screens fulldome films and educational shows.

The institution combines permanent galleries, changing exhibitions and public programming designed to engage visitors in practical and experiential science learning.

The museum’s riverside site places it in downtown Saint Paul on the Mississippi Riverfront, within walking distance of other downtown attractions and public transport.
