Minneapolis Institute of Art: Scavenger Hunt with Kids

The kids have been super interested in Greek mythology and history lately (thanks to the Percy Jackson series) and they love learning as much as they can. We decided to take them to visit the Minneapolis Institute of Art (MIA) and see the Greek artifacts. The whole visit was so much fun! I have always loved taking the kids to museums and introducing them to fine art as well as cultural and historical artifacts from all over the world – even since they were babies. It is one of my favorite things to do together. As a bonus, we discovered the MIA information desk had free age-appropriate scavenger hunt worksheets for the kids which kept them busy and engaged the entire visit. We love the MIA and admission is always FREE for everyone!
