About this adventure
Built right inside the limestone ruins of the world's largest flour mill on the Minneapolis riverfront, Mill City Museum is the ultimate indoor family Thanksgiving weekend destination. Children can put on chef hats in the Baking Lab to knead dough and sample fresh-baked breads while learning the science of yeast and grains. Families take the iconic Flour Tower eight-story freight elevator show through historic milling levels and step out onto the glass-walled observation bridge over St. Anthony Falls. The museum is 100% stroller-accessible, with indoor skyway connections and heated riverfront parking.
