Let me first say that I have visited the Magic House as both a child and as a parent. Nearly twenty years ago the Magic House was a fair bit smaller (you know that sense of visiting somewhere grown up you visited as a child and thinking "It seemed so much bigger." well picture that in reverse). As the size... more

My husband and I took our 2 year old twins to the Magic House and loved it. Somehow though we missed a large part of it and will need to go back. Lots of hands on things for them to do and they loved the super sized sand box!! They are in the process of adding on a large additions... more

Our family visited the Magic House a few days ago while on a vacation to St. Louis and all I can say is WOW! Our kids ages 5 and 3 had a blast! It was insanely busy the day we went and we had to literally follow someone who was leaving to their car in order to get a parking... more

I took my 3 year old son to the Magic House on a recent visit to St. Louis. He LOVED it. He spent the rest of the weekend asking to go back. We were there on a Friday afternoon and it was not crowded at all. I did speak to a few moms who said it was unusually slow and... more

I love The Magic House. There is so much to do here, kids ( and adults) can play for hours without getting bored. I think it is such a wonderful place because of their dedication to children's growth and learning. Kids love to experiment, play and use their imaginations and this is the perfect place. Little ones love to play... more

The Magic House should be renamed "The Mad House." I have taken my daughter twice. Once on a weekend, once during the week. Both times it was so packed and crowded that she was both frustrated and disappointed. They do have a special area set up for small children, however, the staff does nothing to keep the bigger kids out... more

Bought a membership here the first time we visited. Great place for the under-5 crowd. Still one of my daughter's favorite places. At the Magic House, the kids play. At the City Museum, the kids play with you. more

We took our 2 children (ages 6 and 4) to the Magic House as we passed through St. Louis on our way home from the Holiday weekend. We had planned to go to the City Museum but found that after Labor Day it was closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. The Magic House was open with off-season hours (12:30-5:30 I believe)... more

My family and I were definitely lookng forward to taking our 2 children (ages 4 & 2) to the Magic House. Several of our friends commented about the wonderful time that they had with there kids there (around the same age as ours) and gave it rave reviews. What a mistake !! The main problem is that there need to... more

This place is amazing for kids and adults! Lots of interactive play. My kids love the mock grocery store, pizzeria, bank, house, & post office delivery! They have a blast pretending their in charge! The value is really great! They even have free admission every 4th Friday after 5, (check the website for specifics). We've been here dozens of times... more
