The Science Museum of Minnesota's (SMM) Earthscapes exhibits (our Big Back Yard park with miniature golf and associated programming) are NCED's primary resource for the public.

We also cooperate with other museums and other partners to bring our science to the public. For example, NCED participated in the 2005 Smithsonian Folklife Festival and will participate in the upcoming Water: H₂0 = Life fall 2008 with the SMM.
