when we were on vacation this summer the one place i was the most excited about (that we’d never gone to) was The City Museum in St. Louis, MO.
it did not disappoint.
it felt like i was crawling into the mind of an artist!
to me… it was dreamy!
art come to life in crazy ways that for almost all situations would not be allowed…it’s not “practical” to have a fish stairway. it’s weird.
Yes! that is why it’s awesome!
it was CLEARLY made by artists who like to have fun.
i adored this place.

a ferris wheel on the roof at sunset? perfection.
and sean asked to ride with me.

i was a little nervous until he asked to go with me… then i was too happy to be nervous.

scott was at a basketball tournament in st. louis so he missed the museum.
we tried to tell him about it but you have to see it to believe it.

if you ever have the chance to go to the City Museum.… DO IT.
be sure to wear comfy clothes you can climb around in.
and let your kids go crazy!
ours were dripping with sweat by the time we left.
it was several hours of entertainment and well worth the price.
i can’t wait to go back!
Heather R. - Love City Museum, Pappy’s BBQ, & Crown Candy Kitchen. All St.Louis. If you like City Museum on Facebook you’ll see their next project. A castle!!!
rae - awesome! we have been twice and it was so freaking amazing! you are right,it is really hard to describe it to people,I always just bring up photos. we are going back next week and this post has made me even more excited!
Sharon w - We live about 2 hours from STL and the City Museum is our families FAVORITE place to visit…that and a Cardinal game 🙂
Tracy - The City Museum is beyond amazing! We spent 2 whole days there one summer! We thought it was so great the first day that we cancelled our plans and went the next day. Definitely worth the $
Chris - Awesome pictures. I live in St. Louis and haven’t even seen all these places in the museum. Can’t wait to schedule a trip with our brownie troop!
Linda - that looks AMAZING!!! I want to go now! Maybe I’ll add it to my ever increasing bucket list!
Denise - It IS absolutely one of the most amazing places to visit in Missouri PERIOD! We took a group of AFS kids (foreign exchange students) and it was so fun to just watch them and their reaction to this place! We have also taken our own kids (now 20 & 23) and we had a ball! So glad you all could experience this place and I agree, well worth the price! Enjoyed your photos!!
Beth - I can see my office building in the background of some of your pictures! I took my daughter for the first time this summer, she’s 4. We love it, she asks to go back every week! I wish I had known you were here. I work at the newspaper, I could have given you a tour of our building! Next time!
Melissa - Oh my that place looks crazy cool!
Tiffany - It’s like a museum and amusement park/carnival all in one. Enjoyed the pics.
Terrie - Definitely looks like fun! On the bucket list!!
Grand-one needs to get a little bigger!
Wonder if the hubs will help me redecorate?
colleen - I’ve just put this on my list for our cross country trip in an RV… thx so much for sharing the particulars… I saw the pictures on your vaca post and remember wondering “I wonder why they went there!”. Clearly I am a vacation snob….. now I know why… looks like the coolest place on the planet… too bad we have to travel from ct to missouri to get there, oh well!
I agree w/ the nerves about the ferris wheel.. so glad your second son “asked you out!”!
Don’t you love that?
kimberly oyler - ahhh! i loved this place when i went in high school!
kaye - I took my fourth grade class a few years ago when I lived in Missouri. The outside stuff was not yet completed,wish I could go back now and take in the outside!! Super special place!
Julie - What a fabulous place – my kids would thoroughly enjoy this, actually I think the whole family would. Thanks for sharing your time their with us.
Jessica - That looks AMAZING! I want to go!!
Tanya - My kids would LOVE that adventure!
Places like that are what make life great 😀
Lisa - That place looks crazy awesome! My kids would love it. Too bad we live in Oregon and probably won’t be in St. Louis anytime soon… 😉
Crystalyn - I’ve been wanting to check that place out for months now! We just moved to Missouri and some coworkers told me about it. Your pictures help more than their descriptions though, it’s kind of a hard place to describe, hah!
amber - My husband & I went there several years ago (before we had kids) & I’ve always wanted to go back when my kids were old enough. It was fun for us big kids too;). But now my sister doesn’t live in MO anymore…so I guess we’ll just have to visit there on our own now! Such a crazy place!!
