Today was our monthly day trip to St. Louis and we went to the City Museum for the first time. We’ve often heard about it and people have told us to go for quite some time now, but we never did until today.
It’s unlike any place I’ve ever been and I can’t really even begin to describe it on here. Let me just say, it’s not a museum. At least not in any sense of the word that I’ve ever known. It’s essentially a huge indoor playground for people of all ages in a huge old downtown building.
It’s made out of all sorts of recycled materials and found items. It has a 10 story slide, a huge man-made cave area that you can literally get lost in, an arts and crafts area, a human hamster wheel, two bars, a vintage clothing store and I could go on and on.
On the roof, which was closed today due to weather, there are climbing areas and I’m not sure what all. There’s also an aquarium inside that guests can visit for an additional fee.
Today, we had an unexpected snow, and we watched it from inside the museum. It was beautiful, and it turned St. Louis into a beautiful wonderland just for the day.
