I have been to many amazing places in my time, but this is definitely in my top 3. I'm from Tyler, Texas so I envy the locals who get everyday access to this fantastic place. It is a marvel of architecture and imagination. With endless secret ways and passages, the City Museum is fun for kids and adults. One could probably spend all day exploring and still have much more to see. I would definitely come back if I could. Five out of five thumbs up.
This place is hands down one of the best places for kids if you are in St. Louis. The inside is full of caves that lead to pretty much everywhere. They even fit adults. You can spend all day inside the caves, and not even make it anywhere else around the museum. The outdoor play area is just as good as the inside. It is the coolest jungle gym you'll ever play on which again, is adult friendly. There may be some tight spots but with a little maneuvering bigger kids and adults should be able to get through with no issues. I'm not a small guy either I'm about 6ft 2in tall and about 190 pounds. I myself thought I was in danger of getting stuck in some places a few time to the point that my son and nephew had to come back for me. Then there is the rooftop which I honestly thought was a bit overrated but it's still nice. If you do get a chance to visit this place, it would be best to do it at night because then the entire place is lit up, it's not crazy hot, and you can enjoy the views from the rooftop. It's a much better experience I believe. I would highly recommend this place as a must visit location.
For the museum curators, when they read this: Im a 20 year old college student.I dont generally review places, but I loved the museum, at least what wasnt under construction. It lacked a lot of signs for direction, my friend and me (whove been there before) got lost multiple times.Meanwhile, the best department was on the top floor kind of closed off.The art department should be on the bottom floor! Its hands on and it would be great beside the bookstore! It just makes sense! The art department used to be so much bigger and now it is condensed down and theres barely anything! People should be able to do the small stuff on the ground level. I wish I could do the whole floor plans for you people.
This place was awesome. Great place to feel like a kid again. Definitely recommend bringing knee pads if your an adult. We brought our 2yr old. Probably not a good idea to bring kids under 6 after 930pm. People get a little rowdy and alcohol is sold. The toddler castle was a little disappointing after seeing the website photo but she enjoyed it. All together we had a blast. Definitely want to go back!!!
The museum itself is very cool. The kids.love it. However, for a family of 4,.total admission is a little more than $80 including rooftop access. Then there is the food. We brought our food. Apparently that is not allowed. We didn't know. But it should be allowed. The Magic house allows it as long as it is eaten outside on the picnic tables. The city museum should adopt this policy too. Otherwise, for a family of 4, food will run $50-$60 bringing the grand total of roughly $140 for a few hours of fun. I find that completely ridiculous. Probably won't be back anywhere around mealtimes.
