City Museum of St. Louis

Well, I've been quite the bum lately. I finally got to a library today and was able to make some new posts. I filmed this stuff several days ago while I was in St. Louis. I was actually staying with my psuedo-aunt and uncle in the little farming community of Mascoutah, Illinois which is only a half hour drive out of the city. I was in St. Louis for the Easter weekend and it was sure nice to get a warm shower and a home cooked meal. I didn't stay put long and after about 3 days I was back on the road and headed to Southern Illinois. I've been to St. Louis many, many times on family vacations over the years, but I still managed to hit a few new places on this most recent trip. The City Museum of St. Louis was very cool, albeit a place entirely designed for kids. The entire museum is built into an old abandoned warehouse downtown. The designers have used as much natural and recycled material as possible to construct this giant playpen for kids. From the exterior, to the roof, to the insides- everywhere you look are hands on play activities for the children. If you have a family and you visit St. Louis you must go to this museum. Skip the Arch, it's overrated! Overall, this museum is unique and can be really fun if you let yourself act like a kid again. Check out the footage!
