You can find more information on our website at www.visitmankatomn. com.

Children’s Museum of Southern Minnesota Opening May 1, 2015, the brand new Children's Museum of Southern Minnesota is a wonder-filled destination just waiting to be discovered. Imagine getting behind the wheel of the 1917 Little Giant sod buster, exploring six unique forts suspended in the canopy of a 30 foot "tree", or getting your hands-on in the two level maker space. With six indoor exhibits and 12,000 square feet of outdoor place, there really is something for everyone at Minnesota's newest Museum for families.

Sibley Park Sibley Park is a favorite of many area families. Not only is the park beautifully landscaped with extensive gardens, it offers endless recreational opportunities including multiple play areas, a petting zoo, picnicking areas and outdoor workout equipment. While at the park, people can also enjoy fishing on the river, take a walk on the Minnesota River Trail or watch a local softball game. In the winter months, Sibley Park is also home to a legendary sledding hill, a synthetic ice skating rink and the Kiwanis Holiday Lights.

2016 GUIDE TO VISITING & LIVING IN GREATER MANKATO

Go for a Climb There are plenty of trails to go hike including those at Seven Mile Creek and Minneopa State Park, but for a real climb there is a great wall for that at MSUMankato. The largest rock wall in Southern Minnesota, the Indoor Climbing Center at MSU-Mankato provides an exhilarating experience for the entire family. The wall is casted from real rock located in Minnesota and Wisconsin and provides amazingly realistic texture, allowing climbers to use natural features and attached handholds to create incredibly versatile routes for beginners to veteran climbers. Each climb can be a unique one on the way to the 35 foot pinnacle.
