K-12th Grade School Field Trips

Available from October 1st to June 15th.

Our engaging field trips include one guided lesson (40-50 minutes), self-guided exhibit time with scavenger hunts, the award-winning Flour Tower multi-media show and the "Minneapolis in 19 Minutes Flat" movie starring local story teller Kevin Kling.  See a sample itinerary.

  • Visits last approximately 3 hours.
  • Extend your stay by scheduling a 25 minute lunch or by exploring the St. Anthony Falls Historic District. 
  • $6 per student. Teachers and chaperones are free.
  • Click here to schedule a visit.

Choose one guided lesson from one of three themes: People, Power or Flour.

  • People: Meet a character from Minnesota's past, learning about history through the character's life and stories. Or, take a guided tour "behind the scenes" of the Washburn A Mill - once the largest flour mill in the world.
  • Power: How does water equal power? Find out through a class in the museum's Water Lab. Steer logs downriver, build a mill city, and use the mighty Mississippi's current to the millers' advantage.
  • Flour: Spend time in our Baking Lab, modeled after the test kitchens of Pillsbury and General Mills. Groups of students will learn how flour is an important staple in our daily lives.

School Programs are available from October 1st to June 15th and are available for school field trip groups only.  For before/after school groups, scout groups, YMCA groups, etc. please visit our Youth Group page.
