College of Agriculture and Department of Animal Science

305 Haecker Hall 1364 Eckles Ave. St. Paul
Farm Animals: 612.624.3435

Insects: 612.624.1254

Groups of 10 or more can arrange for a tour guided by a U of M staffer or undergrad student.  The tours last about 30 minutes in length and includes a view of the animal barns to learn about sheep, beef cattle, dairy cows and calves.  The insect museum is also interesting!  If you’re “lucky” you’ll get to hold a scorpion or a New Guinea cockroach.
