City Museum Holiday Magic & Whimsical Winter Lights

About this adventure

St. Louis's world-renowned City Museum dresses up its wild 10-story architectural wonderland with thousands of twinkling holiday lights, glowing garland-draped tunnels, and whimsical winter installations. Families can marvel at the giant indoor holiday tree made of recycled industrial salvage, hunt for festive holiday elves hidden throughout the caves, participate in DIY holiday ornament workshops in the Art City studio, and watch for special surprise appearances by Santa rappelling down the rooftop architectural installations. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Baby & Toddler Tips: For exploring tunnels and slides, baby carriers or backpack carriers are strongly recommended over strollers, though elevators easily connect all floors. • Restrooms & Nursing: Spacious family restrooms with changing stations are located on the 1st and 3rd floors; stroller parking area available near admissions. • Active Kids Advice: Dress kids in flexible clothes with closed-toe rubber sole shoes; knee pads are welcomed for tunnel crawling. • Sensory Awareness: High-energy, multi-sensory environment; quieter creative zones can be found in Art City on the 3rd floor.
