The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) drivers use some very large snow plows to keep the highways free of snow. Come explore these giant rigs as they wait in the garage for next big snow! Meet at the MNDOT/DVS visitor door, 1000 Hwy 10 W. Detroit Lakes. Guests can park within the first fence and we will drive together through the gate to the second fenced area. If plows need to be out for a big snow, watch for a reschedule date.

Miss Jenny and Miss Fran Come explore! Classes are designed for you and your child to spend time together enjoying activities to enhance learning, whether it is with children the same age as your child or with a group of mixed-age children.

Spend uninterrupted time with your child(ren), receive helpful parenting information, and meet other families. Registration required. Please enroll parent/adult, and each child (including infants) who will attend.
