Coyotes, moose, bears, rodents and birds are just a few of the many species you can learn about at the Bell Museum of Natural History. By reading the descriptions next to the many window dioramas that mimic real ecosystems, learning about Minnesotan flora and fauna becomes fun and interesting. The Touch and See Discovery Room is a great place for children and even adults to observe and touch bone structures, parts of animals and even some live reptiles and insects from all around the world close up. But go to the museum quickly, because it’s moving from its current location in the Minneapolis campus of the University of Minnesota to the St. Paul campus. The museum will be closing for a relocation December 21 and will not be reopened in its new building until 2018 in it’s new location. Admission is free on Sundays and only $5 for youth and $8 for adults Monday-Saturday. The Bell Museum provides a great opportunity to learn about the wildlife close to home and its new building will bring new astronomical learning opportunities as well with a planetarium and new exhibits.
