City Museum


On Saturday, we took Josh and Danielle to one of our favorite St. Louis attractions--the City Museum. Now, given that name you might think that this is a museum about the history of the city of St. Louis, or something along those lines. But it is really nothing like that. It is basically just this huge indoor and outdoor playground built by an artist out of repurposed urban junk and old architectural elements. And it is awesome!!!
This is a photo of one of the main indoor areas--its amazing the way they created something that was both super fun and also beautiful!
In the indoor part, they have tons of these little holes you can crawl down into.
Some of them open up into sort of caverns . . .
And, as Josh discovered, others lead you into these tight little passageways that come out someplace totally unexpected, like this tree trunk!
And here is Josh pulling Harvey out of the passageway!
The outdoor part is really fun. Sarah absolutely loved climbing up really high!
This is an actual old airplane that they incorporated into the playground!
David climbing through the highest part of the outdoor section.
A fantastic time was had by all, though we were thoroughly exhausted at the end. Still so fun to share this unique place with our wonderful friends.
