Although I’ve never been there, I hear that the Mall of America is great. It’s an impressive spectacle of consumerism, and it’s a must-see if you’re in the Twin Cities area. However, I’d imagine that it’s not the most educational place to take your kids. Luckily, Minnesotans have the Minnesota Children’s Museum in St. Paul. It was named by Cookie Magazine as one of “sixteen road trip-worthy museums that put the emphasis on children.” The Museum is loaded with cool exhibits like Earth World, which focuses on local habitats, and Habitot, which creates exploration opportunities for toddlers. They also play host to exciting traveling exhibits like Dinosaurs, which will be arriving in 42 days (they have a countdown on their homepage).
Now, Minnesota Children’s Museum may not be record-breaking big, but it makes up for it with awesome educational opportunities. A monstrous mall just can’t compete when it comes to intellectually stimulating activities for kids. But what about intellectually stimulating internships for you? The Minnesota Children’s Museum Internships page has exactly what you’re looking for. They have more than a dozen positions for Spring 2010 including internships in Social Media and Promotions, Fundraising Events, Development, Educational Programs – Activity Facilitation, Environmental Education Programs, Exhibit Maintenance, Museum Operation, Education Programs – Museum Classes, Volunteer Recruitment, Membership, Human Resources, Marketing, Information Technology, and Corporate and Foundations Fundraising. You can find links to full descriptions on MCM’s Internships page along with information on how to apply. The deadline for applications is December 18th, and it appears that all of the positions are unpaid.
