Why the City Museum in St. Louis is "Better than Disneyland"
This family's experience:

Activities: We spent 8 hours at the City Museum, exploring its 600,000 square feet of fun, climbing and sliding up and down, discovering where ever and however we wanted

Highlights: My son enthusiastically declared, 'The City Museum was better than Disneyland!' because 'Nothing was off limits. I could touch everything, climb on everything, no waiting in lines. I was free to explore and get lost.' ✨
