Located in Saint Louis, MO...is a really unique and fun museum. Housed in the 600,000 square-foot former International Shoe Company, the museum is an eclectic mixture of children's playground, funhouse, surrealistic pavilion, and architectural marvel made out of unique, found objects. One of the great features of the museum is the hands on art areas for kids. While this museum is somewhat "kid focused" it is really something for adults to see as well. It isn't large, so you don't have to allow an entire day for a visit.

If you've ever wanted to climb in that ball pit with the kids, or jump on the giant slide, only to be foiled by the attendant next to the 'kids only' sign, this is the place for you. Kids and adults are allowed on the slides, ball pits, tunnels and ladders. The tunnels will fit a small-to average adults, although if you're tall or broad you might not be able to get into all of the play areas. There are also alternative walkways for those who are not so keen on climbing and sliding. Watch out for unsupervised kids, though, as there are usually a few cutting in line, jumping on slides before the landing area is cleared, and picking on smaller kids in the ball pit. While there are a few attendants around, they don't usually step in unless someone's going to get hurt, so watch your kids if you don't want them to get bullied.

A lot of people think that the city museum is fun for adults. I think its a lot of money for admission and not a lot to do in there. It seems like a great place for kids, though. Plus, as others have said, it can be dangerous with broken edges on slides and such. What’s fun for adults though is the Cabin in the City. They usually have live music and a bonfire if its colder out.

For almost a hundred dollars my family went through the City Museum. Several of the tanks were empty, the slide was dangerous (one got hurt) and the big sliding ramps upstairs caused many injuries while we were there. Skip this one.

My kids love visiting the City Museum they have so much for them to do and see. One of the favorites is the slides. They have tons of them and don't think that the little ones are the only ones who like them you are bound to see a lot of the grown ups playing too.I did feel like it was a little pricey at $12.00 a person, but definitely well worth it.

The City Museum is a great place for anyone who is adventurous and likes to explore. My favorite part was the outdoor climbing structure. It can be a little nerve wracking at times, but you definitely feel a sense of accomplishment when you get to the top. Another highlight is the carnival like room on the top floor. It's a nice place to stop and have a soda. Entering the caves costs a few dollars extra, but it's definitely something to try. We spent at least two hours exploring all the different areas and trying to find new areas in the cave. I think this would be a great place to take a date if you are both fun loving people.

The City Museum of Saint Louis is indeed a rare find. It's filled with strange architecture and old items from years ago. It's a great place to take children because the museum is full of steel architecture for climbing and it's even encouraged. However, kids aren't the only ones climbing at the museum. If you're an adult and you're not afraid of heights or weigh too much to fit through the architecture, then you're more than welcome to start climbing through the mazes too. This is a strange, but interesting museum.

The city musuem in downtown st. louis is a great place for kids and adults alike. Kids can run, jump, and play on many levels of activities ranging from slides to rollers from the old manufacturing company that used to inhabit this building, while adults can head here for movies, drinks, and receptions. I have had the pleasure to attend both with and without kids and each time it was a blast. Highly advise visitors to St. Louis to make a stop here.

This relatively new St. Louis landmark takes the concept of a museum and puts it on its ear. Creativity abounds at City Museum, and the experience is one that kids and adults love. No “don’t touch this” signs here – the museum is amazingly interactive, a maze of wonderfully intriguing exhibits and displays.

This is a cool place to go with the kids. They have a variety of exhibits, plus a new "world aquarium" that houses multiple sea creatures. The exhibits are very different than your typical museums that you might visit. I guarantee you'll learn at least five new things when you visit here, if not more! It's fairly cheap too--only $12 for an admission ticket. If you want to visit the aquarium though, you have to fork over another $6, so that makes it a bit more pricey. It's in a not so great part of the city, but that's the only negative and if you visit during the day you should be fine.
