I have been here numerous times as a student on field trips, as a teacher on field trips, and as an adult for fun! There is always something new to learn and explore. The views of the Mississippi River cannot get any better!

I have so many memories of Como Park: birthday parties, field trips, photo sessions! There are many amazing amenities including zoo animals, picnic areas, conservatory that is decorated for different seasons. The conservatory is well known to be a lovely wedding venue!

One of my favorite memories was going to the Minnesota Children's Museum and being able to interact with different fossils, dinosaurs, and insects from around the world. I loved the area where you felt like an ant and got to crawl around in grass and dirt!
