Hi Mary,
We have an entire gallery devoted to hands-on learning for children ages 2–10. It's called History Clubhouse. Kids get to explore downtown St. Louis, complete with re-creations of iconic buildings that stand up to 15 feet tall. Then they take a trolley ride back in time to serve food at a café during the 1904 World’s Fair, pilot a steamboat on the Mississippi River, and play house in the ancient city of Cahokia.
Kids have the chance to dress up in period costumes, put on a puppet show, fish over the edge of a canoe, and so much more—all while experiencing local history.
We also offer Storytelling in the Museum on Tuesdays and Saturdays. And it's all available free of charge, just like the rest of the Missouri History Museum! Please note, though, that although the Museum closes at 5pm, the History Clubhouse closes at 4pm daily.
We hope you'll find yourself here soon!
