Mankato sits where the Blue Earth and Minnesota rivers meet, home to Minnesota State University and a stop on the Vikings' old training-camp circuit. The Children's Museum of Southern Minnesota, Minneopa State Park's waterfalls and bison, and Sibley Park's zoo are the family fixtures. Blue Earth County Library is downtown.
Holiday events for kids in Mankato, 2026: tree lightings, light displays, Santa visits and gingerbread workshops, day by day.
6 children’s events are on in Mankato in the next seven days, read every night from the calendars of Blue Earth County Library (3 branches, 35 upcoming programmes). Library programmes are free. Museum and zoo events say “admission may apply”; check the venue for prices.
34 places to collect. Tap “I'm here” when you're at one and the stamp goes in your book; collect 5 and print the certificate.
