MASA Meeting Location
The Science Museum of Minnesota
Most MASA meetings are held in the Science
Museum of Minnesota in St. Paul. The meetings are held in
a classroom in a "free" area of the Museum, so you do not
have to purchase a Museum admission ticket. Remember to allow enough
time to park and find your way through the Museum. The Museum
is huge, so follow the directions carefully to get to the classroom.
Normally, we will be meeting in classrooms 11 and 12 on level 2 in
the education center.
Address:
Science Museum of Minnesota
120 West Kellogg Blvd.
St. Paul, MN
Parking is free on Kellogg Blvd. and around Rice Park about a
block away. You may enter the Museum parking ramp in two places: on
Kellogg Boulevard (upper entrance) or on Discovery Lane (lower
entry). Larger vehicles will find the lower entrance to the ramp
easier to negotiate. WARNING: The upper entrance to the
ramp is very narrow and easy to miss! It will cost you about
$6 to park in the Museum ramp during a meeting.
