City Museum is one of the hardest places on earth to describe. It’s fun for kids and adults alike to explore this massive building with all sorts of oddities, places to crawl and explore, and climb. You might be crawling through narrow spaces on your hands and knees or suddenly exploring caves. They have an outdoor area with massive metal structures to climb as well as a unique rooftop area (open seasonally during the warm months) with things that you must see to believe.
I highly recommend getting knee pads for just about anyone who is going to explore anything here. You have to explore and play at your own risk and be cautious. If you do have kids with you, it will be easy to lose them as some slides go between floors and it may not be quick or easy to catch up.
The space is well maintained and the staff is generally very friendly and helpful when needed. There are snacks available on the second floor and there’s a bar on the third floor. They have lockers available to rent and it’s worth it to have a place to stash items since you will work up a sweat and it may be easy to lose valuables.
This is one of the most unique places I’ve ever been to and something that I’d consider a must visit attraction for anyone coming to Saint Louis for the first time. Don’t skip this and take your time exploring since there’s a lot to see.
This should be at the top of anyone's list when spending any time in St Louis. Fantastic entertainment for families no matter what you enjoy. Caves, climbing, arts and crafts, exploring, slides and more.
My only regret is not being smaller so I can really explore.
Awesome.
Great experience at the city museum. Incredibly for kids but great for anyone that can let their inner kid out to play a bit. Hard to classify this place but exploration zone, grown up children's museum, and work of art come to mind. Basically it's a lot of fun. Seriously though, one pads and a headlamp (honestly) will engage your experience. Be fearless, have fun!
This is the most amazing place on earth! We traveled here from Florida and am i so glad we added this to our itinerary! Pictures don't do it justice. Just go! You won't be disappointed!
This place was amazing. The kids and younger adults loved it. I have long distance walking issues but they had an elevator and it was very easy to get to our tables for the birthday party. Bathrooms were clean and tidy. Their staff was helpful and courteous.
Love this place! The most extreme climb is definitely on the rooftop. If you’re coming for a single day then just get the roof pass and do it. Such a fun place to spend hours, always something new, food, everything to stay entertained.
So much fun. And so big. You can explore for 8 hours straight and not see it all. There's so many little surprises and nooks and crannies. A great place for kids to go and get some of their energy out.
The halloween decorations are a nice touch and makes for a spooky good time.
Not what I had in mind when I think of 'museum' but it's definitely partly that. It feels more like a playground they allow adults on. Considering they have a spiral slide of 10 stories tall and one for 5, and then there's the outdoor monstrosity I believe they call it where you can walk, crawl, climb around and through. There's also some of this on the rooftop(which I believe you have to pay extra for). Plus the rooftop has a small ferris wheel and of course decent views of the city. It's definitely a place you can spend a full day or a good part of the day. I can see it being especially entertaining for the kids if nothing else keeping them busy all day!
My son had a good time. He is 10. He definitely saw it is a cool adventure. If there was a way to ensure he couldn't be taken or hurt without my knowledge, I could have let him run free a little more but I felt like I'd lose him if he got out of my sight because this place goes on and on! Lol. So I was overprotective and followed him around. Every thing was really cool. Unfortunately after walking thousands of steps to reach the top they said you can't slide with a small bag. I had to bring my bag to be able to pay for our way in, etc. So that was unfortunate after walking so many stair cases. Maybe a sign at the bottom saying no bags allowed? 🤔 it was hot, but overall the place is very cool and very fun for a kid to explore. We may come back some day and try again when he's older.
One of the most beautiful attractive site of the Midwest city of St. Louis - Missouri. The way it was designed and built is just amazingly perfect. It has almost every mysterious design that a child or toddler or an adult can think of to spend some good time playing. Words aren’t even enough to describe this place. You have to see it for yourself to believe it. It is an absolutely a must visit if you are visiting St. Louis.
