For Adults

Whether you’re interested in art, history, architecture or Instagram opportunities, the City Museum is not just for kids. In fact, some of our special events are completely kid free. Here are a few tips for a fun visit at any age:  

Grab a drink.

For our 21+ guests, the 19th-century cabin on the first floor holds a full bar serving wine slushies and a wide selection of beer and spirits.

Admire art and architecture. 

Check out our gallery on the fourth floor to see work by renowned contemporary artists, or visit Architecture Hall on the third floor for a fascinating mix of salvaged architectural pieces. 

Raise the roof.  

Open March through October (and weather permitting, longer!), our Rooftop offers a whole new view of Downtown St. Louis. Take a ride on our Big Eli Ferris Wheel, grab a local beer and enjoy your time. 

Attend a special event.

If you’re not into climbing and sliding (or are just looking for more ways to enjoy the museum), check out our events calendar to see what’s coming up next.

Take a tour. 

Our resident historian, Maria Cassilly, has created guided walking tours that highlight the history behind the objects that you may not have noticed before.
