Kids Building Minnesota 2026 is an exciting, educational, and FREE event for kids that celebrates the world of construction, engineering, and skilled trades! This will be our first annual Kids Building Minnesota, proudly modeled after the successful Kids Building Wisconsin experience. To get a sense of what to expect, we encourage families and partners to take a look at what Kids Building Wisconsin has offered in past years.

​

Join us on Saturday, September 26, 2026, between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm at Mall of America® East Lot (24th Avenue & 82nd Street) in Bloomington, MN, for a full day of interactive exhibits, hands-on activities, demonstrations, and learning experiences led by skilled tradespeople and industry professionals. From construction tools to creative building projects and career exploration, there will be something for kids and families of all ages.

 

Admission and onsite parking are free, but all attendees (kids & adults) must register at tinyurl.com/RegisterKBM2026. We can’t wait to build, explore, and discover together at Kids Building Minnesota!
