MN Valley Wildlife Refuge Story Stroll

You can enjoy a family-friendly nature outing at the Bloomington Education & Visitor Center, part of the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge in the Minneapolis area. This welcoming spot gives you a chance to explore hands-on indoor exhibits, then head outside for a loop path and trail views along the Minnesota River. Kids can also discover explorer backpacks that make hiking more engaging and help them notice the natural world around them. It is a great setting for families who want a low-key day of learning, movement, and outdoor time together in Minnesota.
