Admission Fee: Children 2 and under admitted free. $12.00 (plus tax) ages 3 years and up, additional $5 to go on roof where there's a ferris wheel with fun views of St Louis.
Description:
The museum is an eclectic mixture of children’s playground, funhouse,
surrealistic pavilion, and architectural marvel made out of unique, found
objects. The brainchild of internationally acclaimed artist Bob Cassilly, a
classically trained sculptor and serial entrepreneur, the museum opened for
visitors in 1997 to the riotous approval of young and old alike.
A
visitor of this place wrote this: “Words and pictures cannot adequately
describe this place. It must be experienced to be understood. Wear jeans and
closed toe shoes. You will be climbing, sliding, scooting and having a blast in
this unique place. DO NOT miss this place if you are in St. Louis!”
Recommendations: We highly recommend that sneakers or closed-toe, closed-heel shoes are
worn in the museum. Sandals/flip flops are strongly discouraged. We’d also like
to recommend that you consider wearing full-length pants or jeans, as you will
want to take advantage of our multiple slides, tunnels and various attractions. You can also purchase knee pads at the gift shop. See other recommendations.
