This museum is awesome, traveled with 3 children ages 2, 5, 10 they all loved it. I had just as much fun as the kids did. Something here for everyone. Can get crowded on weekends. More

The Magic House is a St. Louis gem. Kids can spend hours playing in the place while learning science, math, history, music and social studies. They have an area specifically designed for kids less than four to learn about sound, sand and water tables, and exploring tunnels. They have an area set up like a town with a grocery, library,...

My family has visited the Magic House every year for 6 years. It never disappoints. There is something new to see each visit. Two of my children are teenagers and they have just as much fun as my 9 year-old. Take one visit and you'll see why. More

The Magic House is a wonderful place too bad it's in the suburbs. Great, great place for families, one of a few gems this town has to offer. More

And we went on what the staff said was a slow day. They need to limit the number of people each day. It wa overcrowded, my kids couldn't get to some of the fun things to do because of so many kids, and as usual parents don't control their children so chaos is abound. More

We love, love, love this place! We were lucky enough to grab a Groupon for a year membership at a discounted price. Although even if we didn't have a membership there are always buy one get one free admission coupons in various publications (i.e. Entertainment Book, Family Attractions Card). It seems like we always discover something new when we visit... More

This place is wonderful! The kids love it! So much to offer hands on and educational. The Magic House is a must visit for kids. It's so many areas in this house that it might take more than 1 day to get through it. It's well worth the visit. All educational and all fun! Just beware, it's loud with kids... More

I've been to several children's museums around the country and this one is in the top 5. So much to do here, plan on spending an entire day. More
