Still a Kid at Heart

If you are in St. Louis, or even if you are not, you need to get to the City Museum in downtown St. Louis. You may get a few less odd looks if you take a kid or two with you, but believe me, it is not mandatory. There is much fun to be had, even if you are a non-married, non-father at the ripe-young age of 37.

The only real consequences of being this old and climbing around like I am 30 years younger is that A) I don't fit in the small places that the kids can climb through and B) my knees seem to bruise up much faster than I recall earlier in my life.

So what is the City Museum? Great question. It is an interactive jungle-gym experience with tunnels, old cars and planes, bridges, slides and about anything else you could imagine...all stuck inside a huge warehouse in downtown St. Louis where some rooms look like large animals (lizards, whales, dragons) and others are just old pieces of machinery. There is even a large wheel that makes you look/feel like a hamster.



So the reason for this blog is just to remind you all of this hidden gem in downtown. When you get the chance wrangle up some kids and head down for a day. But don't be afraid to explore some yourself. Be ready for sore knees and maybe a little dizziness from the 7 story spiral slide. If you don't have the kids, don't worry - it didn't stop Justin, Misty or I from having a great time for a few hours - forgetting that we were on the other side of 30.
