There is a lot to do for children (and even more now as the new wing is opened - complete with the Oval Office and the Legislative Chambers where children can give speeches just like the President). While other children's museums seem to teach the children about things like science, math, etc; this one seems more of a play place.... more

What an amazing children's museum, but there was almost too much to see. We were there 4 hours and still did not see it all. Even though we thought the admission was a little high, it was well worth it. Bring your camera and an extra battery cause you will take a ton of pictures, this along with the Zoo... more

I read all the reviews and decided to visit the Magic House with my children. Good advice for everyone is to arrive as soon as they open. That gave us a good half hour without being overwelmed with children. I thought that this would be a well suited place for my 2 year old and 3 year old and I... more

Let me first say that I have visited the Magic House as both a child and as a parent. Nearly twenty years ago the Magic House was a fair bit smaller (you know that sense of visiting somewhere grown up you visited as a child and thinking "It seemed so much bigger." well picture that in reverse). As the size... more

My husband and I took our 2 year old twins to the Magic House and loved it. Somehow though we missed a large part of it and will need to go back. Lots of hands on things for them to do and they loved the super sized sand box!! They are in the process of adding on a large additions... more

Our family visited the Magic House a few days ago while on a vacation to St. Louis and all I can say is WOW! Our kids ages 5 and 3 had a blast! It was insanely busy the day we went and we had to literally follow someone who was leaving to their car in order to get a parking... more

I took my 3 year old son to the Magic House on a recent visit to St. Louis. He LOVED it. He spent the rest of the weekend asking to go back. We were there on a Friday afternoon and it was not crowded at all. I did speak to a few moms who said it was unusually slow and... more

I love The Magic House. There is so much to do here, kids ( and adults) can play for hours without getting bored. I think it is such a wonderful place because of their dedication to children's growth and learning. Kids love to experiment, play and use their imaginations and this is the perfect place. Little ones love to play... more

The Magic House should be renamed "The Mad House." I have taken my daughter twice. Once on a weekend, once during the week. Both times it was so packed and crowded that she was both frustrated and disappointed. They do have a special area set up for small children, however, the staff does nothing to keep the bigger kids out... more

Bought a membership here the first time we visited. Great place for the under-5 crowd. Still one of my daughter's favorite places. At the Magic House, the kids play. At the City Museum, the kids play with you. more
