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. ## Similar picks in St. Louis - [Cuentos en el Museo: Spanish Storytime at the Missouri History Museum (November)](https://grassyknees.com/st-louis/activities/cuentos-en-el-museo-spanish-storytime-at-the-missouri-history-museum-n--listing-2c04ab6f715c370b7648e09f) — Sat, Nov 14 · 10:30 AM – 11:00 AM · Missouri History Museum · Ages 2–6 · Free · checked Oct 30.
