Offerings change frequently, but several exhibits are always on display:
*'''The Dinosaurs & Fossils Gallery''' showcases several original and replicated [[dinosaur]] [[skeleton]]s, as well as many complete and preserved animals. Some highlights from the [[Mesozoic|Mesozoic Era]] include a ''[[Triceratops]]'', ''[[Diplodocus]]'', ''[[Allosaurus]]'', ''[[Stegosaurus]]'', and ''[[Camptosaurus]]'', while those from the [[Cenozoic]] include a giant [[Phorusrhacidae|terror bird]], an armored [[glyptodont]], the giant seabird ''[[Pelagornis sandersi]]'', a [[Hyaenodonta|hyaenodont]], and fossil crocodilians of the era, especially [[Choristodera|champsosaurs]] from the 60-million-year-old [[Wannagan Creek site]] in [[North Dakota]] the museum works at.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Erickson|first=Bruce|title=History of the Wannagan Creek Expeditions 1970 – 1996|url=https://www.smm.org/sites/default/files/public/attachments/history-wannagan-creek.pdf|journal=Science Museum Minnesota|volume=6}}</ref> The gallery also features two sculpted, 17-foot-tall Quetzalcoatluses, giant flying reptiles from the late [[Cretaceous]] that were known for their long beaks and broad, bat-like wings.
*'''The Human Body Gallery''' shows visitors the various [[Biological tissue|tissue]]s, [[Organ (anatomy)|organ]]s, and systems (such as blood or digestion) that make up the human body. A [[mummy]] is on display. ''Weighing the Evidence'' is an experience that helps visitors separate fact from fiction in healthcare decisions, featuring artifacts from the former Museum of Questionable Medical Devices. The museum acquired these pieces in 2002 when its original owner Bob McCoy, son of [[Wilson McCoy]], retired and donated the collection.
*The '''Experiment Gallery''' allows visitors to explore concepts in physics, math, and physical and earth science with interactive displays.
*'''''Sportsology''''', a study of the body in motion, gives visitors a better idea of what it takes to make a basket, swing a racket, or score a goal.
*'''''RACE: Are We So Different?''''' is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from biological, cultural, and historical points of view.
*'''''We Move & We Stay''''' features artifacts and historical content about the [[Dakota people|Dakota]] and [[Ojibwe]] people. 
*'''The Mississippi River Gallery''' takes advantage of the museum's proximity to the river and a National Park to educate visitors about its natural resources. Visitors can learn about the river's environment and animals. It is also home to The Collectors' Corner. Traders (mainly children) bring in natural artifacts they find to trade them for points or other artifacts.
