Explore • Learn • Protect
Our full site is launching soon. Until then, here’s the quick version: we’re building a welcoming place for Minnesotans to experience aquatic life up close and support conservation through education.
About MADIC
MADIC (Minnesota Aquatic Discovery & Information Center) is a developing, community‑driven initiative focused on hands‑on learning about freshwater ecosystems. We combine immersive exhibits with practical stewardship to spark curiosity and care for the waters that define our state.

Hands‑on exhibits and guided experiences that turn curiosity into understanding.
Education
Age‑appropriate programs aligned to Minnesota standards for lasting impact.
