EXPLORE. PLAY. LEARN at Minnetrista
Create a chalk masterpiece in the Backyard Garden. Play dress up in Betty’s Doll House. Discover a new favorite board game in Betty’s Cabin. Find a quiet garden spot to read a book from the Little Free Library.
Minnetrista has been filling our grounds and gardens with new activities and adventures for children and families to discover. Why? Imaginative and creative playtime promotes healthy childhood development, boosting critical thinking, problem-solving, social/emotional skills, and shared family experiences, that together, strengthen the bonds which promote positive outcomes for kids and our entire community.
We’re committed to making Minnetrista a special place for families to explore . . . and we have even more family improvements in store for our featured garden spaces! More games—more activities—and more amenities (like more benches, better restrooms, and free Wi-Fi!)
You can help us create awesome, new family adventures by making a special contribution to Minnetrista on November 29—#GivingTuesday! By being a part of this national day of caring, Minnetrista will direct all contributions received during the week of November 29 to our efforts in expanding family programs and amenities in the gardens.
We’ll even double your impact! Each #GivingTuesday gift we receive will be matched dollar-for-dollar!
A gift of just $20 buys a new game for Betty’s Cabin! A gift of $100 will add a new hands-on feature to the Backyard Garden!
Minnetrista’s gardens are free for all to visit year-round! Join us in supporting and strengthening these creative play spaces that available to all children and families in our community. Make your #GivingTuesday contribution to Minnetrista on November 29!
