It is known as “The Silver City” as well as by various other nicknames and expats in Saint Paul will soon discover that it is home to various attractions. These include, for example, the Minnesota Children’s Museum, a destination featuring seven galleries, all designed to provide an exceptionally stimulating and interactive environment for children.
