Representing the University of St. Thomas, the Tommies are in the midst of an unprecedented transition directly from the non-scholarship NCAA Division III to Division I. Most teams play in the Summit League, a conference consisting of regional institutions that doesn't operate a football league. UST plays football in the Pioneer Football League, a conference at the second level of college football, Division I FCS, consisting of schools that don't give football scholarships. The ice hockey teams play in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (men) and Western Collegiate Hockey Association (women). Most venues are on campus except for the hockey arena, located in the inner southern suburb of Mendota Heights. A new on-campus arena that will host basketball and hockey is set to open in 2025.
At Minnesota Children's Museum, kids will have a blast discovering an exciting, immersive world that arouses their curiosity, increases their understanding, and ignites an appreciation for learning. Each of the Museum's seven galleries is uniquely designed to provide a hands-on, stimulating environment for children six months to 10 years old. Roving "funstigators" engage kids in fun and interactive smart play as they blow bubbles, toss balls, play with finger puppets, and provide a variety of stimulating play experiences for children of all ages.
The address above is for the MMAA Project Space, a small gallery in Lowertown with rotating exhibits; the MMAA also hosts temporary exhibitions at other venues around the Twin Cities and greater Minnesota.
