Unique place with lots of fun things for young kids to crawl around on and through. The recycled items are very cool in how they incorporated it into the experience. It’s basically an urban jungle gym on steroids. Great for kids, teens and energetic fit adults. If you are older or not in great shape, it’s a little limiting on the experience. Worth doing, but just be aware it’s lots of crawling climbing and sweating. Lol

What a cool place!! So much to see and do, we spent hours there and still probably missed things. Be careful with head bumps and tight spaces. Could easily get hurt or knock your head. We ate at Rosalita’s afterward which is just a few blocks away and was great.

This is our second time back, and yes, we drove days to get here. Family with multiple kids ranging from 4-19 all had a blast and we didn't want to leave. Type A parents could lose their minds because you never know where, or even what floor your child will come out, and some areas are too tight for you to crawl through with them. A few urgent suggestions though, PLEASE air condition, we were dying of near heat even before exerting ourselves running around, and nearly got heat stroke during our activities, please air condition. Second consider renting foam knee pads for us older parents. So many of the areas require crawling on metal bars or on hard metal uneven ground, could have avoided a lot of bruises. Many areas were closed which was also frustrating. Please wrap low cross pipes in dark areas with foam, several adults including my son got nasty bangs on the head. Lastly please cover the line area for the roof ferris wheel ride, it is a VERY slow line with only about 6-8 people per run (they leave two cars empty between each full car, and often people in the occupied cars choose to ride alone), just a sun tarp over the line would have helped, we saw many children in addition to ours get very dizzy and have to leave the line to go find some shade. How about a little more reasonable pricing for water, 4$ a bottle is pretty extreme. All this aside, this is a special place, and a really unique experience.

"A playground on steroids". "Trippy doesn't even begin to describe this place". Not sure how else to describe City Museum but I'll try to say a bit more. Lots to explore for active, curious kids and adults who can still tolerate joint and muscle pain. Caves, tunnels, indoor areas, outdoor areas, huge slides, weird art, a bus on the edge of the rooftop, an airplane you can climb into, twisted metal, strange artifacts, aquariums, twisted metal ladders., and I'm sure many more noteworthy things I've failed to mention. There are food and lockers available on-site. We had no trouble parking on the official lot but it might be a problem on busier days.

Wow! An adventure playground for all ages! So much to do here. All hands on. Excitement at every turn as well as on every floor!! So much to do and see. Definitely purchase the extra rooftop activities you will not be disappointed. A wonderful surprise in downtown St Louis. It was not a museum as our teenagers thought. They loved it.

This was in the book “1,000 Places to See Before you Die in the USA and Canada,” so we went to see it. It was definitely worth it! It was unlike any other museum I’ve been too. Almost everything was exploratory. Kids were able to crawl all over everything. It’s really cool looking from the outside too. Definitely a photographer/ Instagram influencer’s paradise with so many photo ops! Our toddler especially loves the toddler section with giant Lego blocks.

This place is the work of a creative mastermind. An old warehouse recreated mostly from recycled pieces to create a human habitrail. So many tunnels, stairs, and slides that you’ll never know where you will end up or what floor. Four stories of interactive fun with a bonus rooftop adventure waiting with more slides and even a ferris wheel. The staff and guests are so respectful and great helping in every way to keep all safe. When entering you will get a wristband for access to your adventure. On the kids wristband write your cell number in case they get turned around and can’t find their way back to you or injured. The staff will call and reunite everyone. Truly spent 6 hours here with kids ages 4, 12, 14 and 30’ish with loads of laughs and smiles all around. We will definitely be going back before long.

Great place to take kids!! Fours floors for kids to enjoy a playground like atmosphere. Bring your walking shoes and workout clothes. Be sure to do your research on parking area.

This place is insane in the very best way! I've never been anywhere like it. I would suggest checking out a YouTube video to give you an idea of what you're in for. We loved all of it. We didn't do the optional roof and there was still more than enough to explore for hours. We loved staying until closing because the place cleared out, and we basically had it to ourselves. If you ask for a cup at the cafeteria you can go fill it with water from a fountain. You will get lost. If you want to go down the slides you can't have anything on you: even my fanny pack wasn't allowed. It's hot even inside. Park on-site for the best rate.

Great fun for the young kids and the old. Be warned for those out of shape…..you will walk up and down, twist and turn, climb and slide……oh my! But my young one had a blast and was completely tuckered out. I will sleep well tonight…..more exercise than I had planned but well worth the trip. On a hot day, be sure to hydrate!!!!
