This may have been the most awesome place I have visited as an adult with Children. Check out their website http://www.citymuseum.org/ It's an old shoe factory in St. Louis that an artist has turned into an incredible interactive playground of art and fun! Our Friends, Jen and Moe, and their kids took us there. If Jim didn't have a flight to catch the following Monday, we would have stayed until it closed and then went back the next day!
To give you some idea, you walk into a room that kind of looks like an underwater scene in which you can crawl or climb on anything. Including walking through the life size whale scuplture.
I took a tunnel to see where it went and ended up in this cage over the floor. I had to squeeze through a tight space to get out.
Outside is just as magical as the inside. This is Evie in a big hamster tube of steel suspended about 20 feet above the ground.
That lady with the blue shirt is me climbing up the hamster tube.
And there was a giant ball pit filled with playground balls.
This is more of the outside. You could climb on all of this. The safety inspector has a tough job at this place!
More fun on the inside, a hall of mirrors.
And there were lots of ways to go between floors. Evie and Adli are in this blue spiral climbing up.
There was also an art room. Annalise and I spent a lot of time here because she was a little nervous about climbing all around everything.
While Annalise and I were creating art, Evie investigated a room filled with skate park ramps that you could run all over.
Have you ever seen a pencil this big??
in additon to crawling on everything, you could crawl under and through everything. Not sure how Evie and Adli ended up here.
Jim and Evie discover how to get under the stadium seating in the circus area. It was tight.
Even for Evie.
Back in the art area, we were still painting.
Then we took a break to see a juggling show. Remember when Evie wanted to be a juggler when she grew up? Adli helps to extinguish a fire.
Wouldn't you be proud if this was your kid?
Annalise and Evie explored the skate park area some more with a run around this bowl.
Then we entered a cave area that took us to an open atrium with 3 spiral staircases. The staircases went up 6 stories. you could walk down or take the spiral slide to the bottom. We all slid down. Annalise did not like it and ended up with a floor burn on her back. I was really dizzy at the bottom. This pipe organ was playing while we descended.
This is an idea of what the cave area looked like. A bunch of cement scupltures that you could climb in that looked like fossils. Very cool. I would recommed this place to anyone visiting St Louis and plan to make a day of it! I would like to have my next birthday party there.
