Pavek Museum of Electronic Communication — Attraction in Saint Louis Park

Pavek Museum is an excellent place to visit for a field trip or day program outing for people of all ages. I am the activity coordinator for a day program serving adults with intellectual disabilities and we went to Pavek to do a radio broadcasting experience. Everyone in our group got the chance to help create our very own radio program and there were even roles we could assign to persons who are non-verbal! Nina and Stan took such great care to make sure everyone got to participate. They were so wonderful to our group the whole way through the experience. Our folks even got to participate in a super fun Quiz Show at the end! There truly is something for everyone here! If you love electronics, there are some really wonderful artifacts to see. We didn't have time to dive into everything Pavek offers so we will absolutely be back. I will be spreading the word about this wonderful place. Thank you so much Pavek for keeping educational experience like this...

The back room is filled with other equipment being repaired and stored, fun to see too. Also, consider donating your old equipment here, it is an...

Such a wonderful time! There were three employees there during the about 2 hours I wandered around. All three made themselves available to answer questions, provided demonstrations of the equipment, and were super sweet about taking photos and videos. The museum was just what I was looking for- super informative, filled with interesting exhibits, and was small enough that I felt satisfied having seen most of everything in my 2 hours. It is quality place and I would be happy to go again. Getting there was easy and parking was available. I loved being able to see the range of machines from the TTY to Phonographs to the professional recording equipment. I even was able to play the theremin and hear an original Edison record player at work! Very, very happy. Thank you to everyone that runs the museum. It is a...
