Set atop Minot’s North Hill with panoramic views of the Souris River Valley, the Magic City Discovery Center in Minot is a premier STEAM-focused destination that blends the best of a children’s museum and a science center. With more than 150 hands-on exhibits on 3 levels, the center invites kids and families to explore science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math through immersive play and interactive learning.

Highlights include a two-story climbing structure, a building zone, a water play zone, and creative maker spaces—all designed to spark curiosity and build real-world skills. Outdoor exhibits and scenic overlooks provide sweeping views of the North Dakota landscape, making the experience both inspiring and educational.

Open year-round, the Discovery Center is a vibrant hub where children of all ages can imagine, invent, and discover—preparing them for the future while having fun in the present.
