What people say

"Open since 1997, this museum playground is an immersive experience for kids & adults alike. Closed-toe shoes & pants recommend for maximum crawling & sliding activity! Time: Budget 2-3 hours to see everything at this urban jungle! Cost: $20 + tax Extra cost: $8 for rooftop access (there is little to no shade on the roof - if it's a warm day I recommend sticking to the indoor areas. You'll find more than enough to explore inside!) "
"For families, kids, young adults or just those who love to have fun. This interactive museum experience was unique and had us exploring for hours. There are slides, things to climb, fish tanks, good food and pinball games. There is something fun for all to enjoy. We spent just over 3 hours here as a group of young 20-somethings. Be sure to explore all of the floors. "
"City Museum is a must do on your next trip to St. Louis. You will find miles of tunnels, slides, climbers, bridges, and castles. There are secret passages, playgrounds, ball pits, a circus, and a train. Definitely should check it out!"
