We visited the City Museum with 4 boys, ages 8, 10, 10, and 12. They all LOVED it. Climbing and crawling, running and jumping. Perfect place to take the kids! They especially liked the part of the museum which was like a skateboard park. more

Okay...the people writing the bad reviews are confusing me. We took my 2 yr old last summer and are in the process of planning a second trip next month. It was one of the best times we ever had. The only thing I can say was bad is that the 2 yr old wanted to climb on everything but it... more

I would respectfully say that those who have complaints did not do due diligence in finding out what the place is about. I am 36 and went with my girlfriend, who is 34, and we had a fun couple of hours. Admittedly during the summer there are lots of kids there - whether people use it as a daycare is... more

I went to the City Museum in St. Louis for the 1st time and the last time! They have about 4 caves that you can go exploring in. One of the caves has water that comes rushing into it. I saw a Staff Member come and tell the kids to get out of the water. I could not believe that... more

the place is awesome. an eclectic mix of industrial and architectural arts but you can climb all over the stuff.... makes me think of a post apocalyptic playground. Great for the family and anyone with any mechanical or technical aptitude. more

My husband and I can definately see why people rank this at the top of things to do in St. Louis but we were VERY disappointed. We had gone on tripadvisor.com to get an idea of what we wanted to do and were so excited to visit the museum because there was nothing but good reviews on tripadvisor.com. But not... more

We spent the night at the City Museum (myself and 11 year old twin boys) at their first family sleepover - $33 per person, no aquarium. What a blast! So many children's activities leave me on the sidelines, chatting with the other parents or reading a book and passing the time. At the City Museum, I am pulling my kids... more

This place is the best! We took our 5yo and turned into kids our selves. We spent the entire day there. Got there when it first opened, had lunch and did not leave until around 4 pm. All three of us were covered in sweat from playing so hard and having so much fun. It is a giant work of... more

We visited the City Museum in St. Louis with our daughters and their families. The five kids ranged in age from four to thirteen and everyone of them had a great time. The adults also found plenty to see and do. My daughter even talked me in to going down a machine roller slide. My husband was fascinated by the... more

My husband and I (Baby Boomers) took our 11-year-old granddaughter to the CITY Museum in St. Louis as part of a family vacation. We knew it would be quirky, and that's what attracted us to the place, but we had no idea how much FUN we would have there. It's open until 1 a.m. on weekends, so we played in... more
