I told you about our family trip to St. Louis last month, and one of our favorite things we did was visit City Museum.  I had heard about it from several friends before going, but I was little wary of the price to get in (always a  slightly cheap mom)….I am SO glad that we decided to go!  It was a dream land.  Imagine a huge warehouse building – several stories high that is filled with re-purposed, found objects.  It was like a Tim Burton movie set, meets The Lost Boys’ home, meets the Garden of Eden, meets an Ewok village, meets a Baz Lurman movie.  Every nook and cranny of this place is worked and reworked into something creative and magical.  Kids can climb, swing, run, jump, crawl on their hands and knees, and slide in every part of the museum.  We went on a Friday night, so it was only $10/person, which was totally a good deal and so worth it (I mean, where else can you see the world’s largest pencil?!  Watch this video on how it was made).  Our kids had a BLAST there, and we only had to leave after several hours because Gemma’s flip flop broke (wouldn’t recommend wearing sandals there!)!  I will definitely go back if I’m ever in the St. Louis region again.  Oh, and this place is not just for kids – people of all ages would fall in love with it – so much to do, explore, and look at.  City Museum made me look at things in a new way and I love that.  If you get the chance to go – run, don’t walk.
