About this adventure
Located at the north entrance of Forest Park in the grand neoclassical Jefferson Memorial Building, the Missouri History Museum offers free admission to engaging galleries exploring St. Louis history. The highlight for visiting families is the award-winning History Clubhouse, a permanent interactive play space crafted specifically for children ages 2 to 12 and their caregivers. Inside the History Clubhouse, children can roleplay piloting a historic Mississippi River paddlewheel steamboat, prepare mock meals at an authentic 1904 World's Fair restaurant counter, build a 6-foot replica of the Gateway Arch out of lightweight foam voussoirs, and step into an 1870s French settler home. The museum is fully stroller-accessible via elevator, with family restrooms with changing stations, a private quiet nursing room, and the friendly Cafe Balaban on the ground floor.
