About this adventure
Consistently ranked among the top children's museums in the United States, The Magic House in suburban Kirkwood encompasses over 55,000 square feet of hands-on interactive wonder. Housed in a whimsical Victorian mansion with modern architectural wings, kids can test static electricity with a giant Van de Graaff generator, slide down a three-story spiral slide, and climb through the Jack and the Beanstalk vertical maze. Early learners thrive in the Children's Village, a miniature community featuring a kid-sized bank, grocery market, vet clinic, and pizza parlor where toddlers roleplay real-world professions. The museum offers extensive stroller parking, accessible elevators, a Calming Corner designed for neurodiverse kids needing quiet respite, dedicated private nursing suites with glider rockers, and an on-site picnic cafe welcoming family lunchboxes.
