I just love the Ferris Wheel. Seeing the city from the vantage point is unreal.

Katie P. – Yelp review

I wish every museum were as interactive as this one. It’s like a historical amusement park.

V. Yee – Google review

The 10-story spiral slide should be on everyone’s bucket list!

Lora K. – Google review

The building is a kid’s fantasy – an entire building of caves, tunnels, slides, and secret passages.

Celia G. – Tripadvisor review

26 years ago today, this absolutely fabulous woman graced City Museum with her talent, energy, and dedication. Over the years you`ve seen Stephanie in the gift shop, working events, and handling everything else the museum throws at her. She does it with poise and style, all while wearing stellar shoes.

It`s people like Stephanie that embody the spirit of City Museum, and we`re lucky to have her. Thank you for everything you continue to do in this wild world we`ve created.

15 years ago today the World`s Largest Pencil made its way to City Museum. It stretches 76ft long, weighs 21,500lbs, contains 4000lbs of genuine Pennsylvania graphite, and has a 250lb rubber eraser. The 3rd floor windows were removed in order to bring the pencil inside via crane.

Created by Ashrita Furman, this pencil holds the Guiness World Record. (We have a certificate and everything, so you know it`s legit.) Come see our Science of Guinness World Records exhibit through April 14th and compete to set your own records!
