This is a museum that sets the tone before you even pull into the parking lot. A concrete serpent surrounds the lot. The employee taking your money for parking hangs out in a castle-like structure, and before you even enter the museum, you’re under it. Specifically, MonstroCity. There are two planes, plenty of mental structures and slides, and more...
I referenced earlier that you’ll lose your children or grandchildren. It could happen right as you step past the ticket windows. One darts up the stairs, the other darts toward the whales and treehouse, you see there’s a bar that’s open at 10 a.m. — but I digress. Thisis City Museum. The spindles actually spin, there’s the world’s largest pencil, c...
When choosing names for this museum, I’m guessing the first alternate was Slide City. However, the actual number of slides in the museum is a closely held secret. Someone knows, but they aren’t telling. Some have guessed 30. I know we went down more than 15. From a few feet to 10-stories (not kidding), there’s a slide for everyone. You know it’s go...
It’s strange to tout the roof when you have multiple floors of brilliance inside, but part of City Museum’s greatness is that you can see its genius throughout St. Louis. It’s the only museum in the world with a school bus hanging over the edge of the building and an old-school Ferris wheel on top. (I don’t know that officially, but I couldn’t find...
It seems metal is the material of choice here. It’s been used to create slides, a swinging bridge, tunnels, and more. It was on my third visit when I finally had to ask just how much rebar is in the museum. According to director Rick Erwin, there’s enough to build an entire highway overpass. Some structures are surprisingly smooth; others feel like...
There’s a love of aquatic life at the City Museum. There’s an aquarium area, but there are also various aquariums throughout the museum. In pure City Museum style, you can even crawl inside one of them. Don’t worry, you won’t get wet. From clownfish to catfish, there are 70 species of fish found throughout. And, to give you an idea of the eccentric...
The building housing the museum was once a shoe company warehouse, so it makes complete sense that there’s a small shop selling shoelaces and cords made in-house on antique machines. It feels completely random until you know the history, and then it’s only a little less so. You’ll walk into the shop wondering why you even need colored shoelaces, bu...
It may seem odd for a museum that seems so out there to also serve some great cocktails and food. But it’s St. Louis, a city that loves its drinks. The zoo serves alcohol for goodness sake. It seems like a no-brainer that a place where you’re likely to leave with an injury while completely sober would serve cocktails as well. Also, St. Louis is fam...
Finally, you can’t talk about the City Museum without mentioning its creator. When you walk into City Museum, you’re walking into the genius mind of artist Bob Cassily. You’ll soon realize he never saw a relic he didn’t keep and eventually use in his creations. In the early 1990s, Cassily and his wife Gail took the 10-story, bare-bones shoe warehou...
Like Cassily’s creativity, the museum is ever-evolving. During your visit, you’ll see construction areas. They’re not hidden as they would be at most museums; they’re visible for everyone to see and imagine just what could possibly come next for this incredible place. It can be unnerving looking at a construction area next to a place to explore, bu...
