I wasn't sure what to expect, but this place exceeded any expectations. It was so much fun. They have slides that range from regular length to 5 stories to 10 stories. Most of them were closed, though, when we got there late on a Sunday. They have obstacle courses for all ages, aquariums with turtles, lizards, and fish. Everyone can go and find something that will interest them. They have "caves" that have amazing sculptures and mazes. We actually got lost in the caves, had a staff person come get us. Great experience. Although it was really hot outside which made it really hot inside. Needless to say, we did not do the outside courses.
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.
What an absolutely awesome experience for kids and adults! You have to be fairly nimble but there's fun to be had from all. Even just walking through and checking things out is pretty neat. One of our favorite Parts was the seven story slide, it was really fast and an absolute blast! Parking was easy and a good time was had by all. The only negative that I can really think of is St Louis is not nearly as nice overall as many big cities I've been to but, of course, this has nothing to do with the quality of the museum.
A wonderful place. My son loved it here. He’s talked about this place for years. We spent hours climbing around the ceilings, walls, tunnels, through the darkness. You can walk along the outside structures crawling is also necessary if you want to see everything, explore the planes, or slide down the slides - and some span multiple floors! So many amazing sculptures and artwork. When I was there they were painting and building in order to add another floor of adventure. The lowest level is the enchanted cave with some amazing sculptures for everyone to climb on. It’s one gigantic museum for playing and exploring. Not disappointed that my son and I drove six hours to see this place. A work of art.
Super fun experience for my kids. There were tunnels and caves that go between all the floors. I've never seen anything like it! It was incredible. My son said "better than Disney." LOL. I have a 14, 12, and 9 year old and we stayed busy for almost 7 hours. Dad and I even got in the action, climbing through tunnels and sliding down slides. I would definitely go back and recommend it to anyone looking for something different. The admission is fair and rather cheap compared to things we do in Chicago. Overall it was worth the drive and traffic from Chicago.
This is the most amazing museum we've seen. It is a total immersive experience that bring you from one world to another completely different world. It has an aquarium, and many indoor and outdoor playground, plus an open rooftop. It is literally a playground for both kids and adults. What are you like to climb and crawl, or just walk without any strenuous moves, there is always a path to explore all the hidden gems in this museum in ways that you are comfortable. And it has so many spaces and so many ways to see things that you can spend days getting lost in these world. And even if you come back again and again, the experience can still be completely different. We highly recommend this as a must visit if you ever come to St. Louis.
Had a blast here! Highly recommend for all ages. Here are our takeaways. Come early. It's mostly iron or steel. So it gets hot. Wear older clothes. You will get dirty. Start at the top. We paid for a rooftop experience, and it closed early without warning. We didn't get to go up there at all. Bring water bottles. Refill often and stay hydrated! Food options on 1st or 4th floor. Gluten-free pizza can be purchased. Let them know if you have an allergy. They are friendly. We also brought gluten-free bread with us. So go club sandwich with no bread and used our own! Leave strollers on the 1st floor. Or use elevators to go 3rd floor toddler area! If first time, I recommend not adding pinball room. Most machines were out of order. Lastly, be a kid with your kids! Slide on every slide. Squeeze into the tunnels. And laugh : If this review helps you, give us a thumbs up! #crazykleinadventure
This was our first time to St. Louis and to City museum. City Museum was AMAZING. There are so many cool little passage ways to crawl through that take you to new/different places. The adults had just as much fun as the kids. Definitely recommend some knee pads for the adults.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
Everything is awesome. My review is tips to make it easier -wear sneakers -bring a flash light or a head lamp. These are also available for purchase in the gift shop as you enter. There are dark tunnels to climb through. -parents, consider knee pads. These are also available for sale in the gift shop as you enter -bring the bare minimum if you expect to climb around with your child. Purses, slings, and backpacks get in the way. They have lockers. -there's places to buy water $3.50 a bottle if you don't want to carry around your bottle -wear sports clothes. It gets hot. There's no a/c but they have fans to help move the air. -pinball isn't worth the $6. There's about 10 machines and 8 old-school arcade games -figure out the times of the circus if it's something you want to do.
Whoever said this place isn't for adults must be old or boring!! 2 adults in their 30s had a wildly fun time for nearly 5hours! The roof is underwhelming, you don't need to pay more for it. But the inside and outside are a blast. Be sure to find the 10story slide it's kinda hidden in what feels like a boiler room. The circus was cute, and the aquarium had some interesting fish. My only comment is that the seahorse has a sign about how they mate for life and dance with their partner twice a day... but there's only 1 seahorse! I really wish they would adopt another one because that's heart breaking. Oh and your knees will be sore after climbing all of the steel tubes!
