As part of our Saint Louis road trip we took in mid October the Yogi’s visited their City Museum<\/a> near downtown. It is a unique fun mish mash institution. It has everything from caves to explore that finish with a wild 7 story corkscrew slide, the “Monstrocity” outside a very big jungle that soars about 30 or 40 feet in the air and incorporates two airplance fuselages and a castle tower, a small but fun aquarium, a museum of Mirth, Mystery, and Mayhem, and in interesting collection of terra cotta and stone remnants of torn down buildings.<\/p>\n

Deep within the bowels of the caves you come upon this massive organ.

Here is a view of the slides. There is no elevator to the top. You climb. Quick ride down. No coffee needed the rest of the day. A girl behind me said “You can go a lot faster if you lay down on your side.” Thanks kid for letting me know what not to do.<\/p>\n

I loved their architectural remnants from long gone buildings.<\/p>\n

I’ve had days like this

And Bob’s Big Boy – Been a while since I’ve seen one of those. I love SPB’s smile in this one.

They have a little aquarium at City Museum. They were featuring doctor fish. Stick your hands in there for about 5 to 10 minutes and you get a great manicure. They just mob your hands and eat off the dead skin and hangnails. After the initial surprise of getting nibbled by dozens of fish it actually feels good, and it worked as advertised also.<\/p>\n

I saved the worst for last. A video of me going down a kiddy slide at City Museum. Of course the only part of me you can see is my shoes.

I rate City Museum in Saint Louis a solid 4 out of 4 stars. Budget at least half a day. Bring some good shoes and loose fitting clothes. This a fun place for the whole family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
