The City Museum in St. Louis is an immersive, repurposed warehouse packed with whimsical tunnels, slides, sculptures, and climbing structures made from reclaimed industrial materials, creating a playful, hands-on environment for both kids and adults.

The first floor of the City Museum is a sprawling, immersive playground filled with twisting tunnels, crawl spaces, and large sculptural structures made from repurposed industrial parts, all arranged like a chaotic urban cavern.

It features oversized climbing elements, hidden passageways, a massive whale sculpture to explore, and pathways that loop under and around each other, creating constant surprise.
