Enjoy some fun while in St. Louis. Be sure to visit City Museum, uniquely constructed mainly from repurposed industrial & architectural objects, at the former International Shoe factory and warehouse site located in the Washington Avenue Loft District of St. Louis. It’s a short cab ride from the Union Station conference hotel to a destination that’s fun for all ages.
Opened in 1997, the City Museum was founded by artist Bob Cassilly (deceased 2011) and has been listed as one of the "great public spaces" by the Project for Public Spaces, and won local and international awards as a must-see destination. Popular with St. Louisans and tourists, the museum bills itself as an "eclectic mixture of children's playground, funhouse, surrealistic pavilion, and architectural marvel."
You’re encouraged to touch, climb on, and play in the various exhibits. City Museum is constantly changing with new additions and exhibits created from an artistic perspective. Enjoy MonstroCity and Enchanted Caves. City Museum is truly a museum adventure!
City Museum is open 7 days a week and general admission is $12.00+tax. Check out the website, http://www.citymuseum.org, for additional specifics on hours & admission variations, including clothing & footwear recommendations prior to your visit.
See you soon in St. Louis!
