City Museum Thanksgiving Weekend Family Adventure

About this adventure

Housed in the historic 600,000-square-foot International Shoe Company warehouse in Downtown St. Louis, City Museum is an architectural playground without equal. Families can scramble through multi-story rebar tunnels, plunge down ten-story spiral slides, explore hand-carved man-made limestone caves, and enjoy high-energy circus arts performances throughout Thanksgiving weekend. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Strollers are permitted on wide main concourses and elevators access all floors; however, walking shoes, comfortable pants, and knee pads are recommended for active climbers. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Family restrooms and nursing rooms available on the 1st and 3rd floors; quiet seating areas located near the architectural salvage galleries. • Age Suitability: Energetic fun for toddlers, youth, teenagers, and playful parents; Toddler Town on the 3rd floor offers gentler climbing structures for small explorers. • Sensory Tips: Dynamic, high-energy environment with echoey spaces and climbing thrills; quiet, low-stimulus zones are located in the Beatnik Bob's historic museum artifacts area.
