What is there to do?

Never has an adventure been so understated in it's title as the City Museum!

This incredible St. Louis museum is 600,000 sq ft of children's funhouse, unique architecture, and plauyground!

Why don't we start with a super fun fact? Did you know that the rooftop offers a rope ramp slide, stepping stone Splash Pond, a massive rope swing and Ferris Wheel? A Ferris Wheel on the roof! We told you this wasn't any old museum!

The City Museum is a fascinating place for families to just come and explore, and experiment. The 3rd floor houses Toddler Town for those younger curious minds, as well as a recreated carnival midway, a hands on art studio and architectural museum display. Pretty cool!

The 2nd floor's standout feature is the kids' aquarium boasting tunnels and tubes for the kids to move within (yet underneath) the live sea life exhibits.

The first floor is sincerely an adventure, with adult sized tunnels, tubes and meandering mazes littered with creative genius, and the mezzanine offers views of the aquarium and ponds, a two storey slide and climbing delights. Phew! That's a lot of exploring to do!

And have we mentioned the Enchanted Caves beneath the building itself? In the semi dark? With the 10 story spiral slide??? A visit to the City Museum is the only real way to appreciate how unique it really is - so take us to St. Louis, the City Museum is waiting!

Where is it at?

Teachers corner

Field trips are very welcome but a group of over 15 students requires advance booking

Can I get one of those?

There is a museum shop which is filled with just as weird and wonderful things for you to take home, so take your pocket money!

Need a little extra help?

The museum is accessible, but there are a few areas that might be difficult to navigate. The caves are tricky, and the jungle gym is multiple levels and require climbing
