VEX Robotics World Championship
April 20 – May 3 CDT
Welcome VEX Robotics World Championship competitors and attendees! We’ve got two ways to experience the most inventive playground on Earth! You’ve built the bots. You’ve tuned the code. Now it’s time to optimize your St. Louis experience.
Whether you’re a competitor ready to celebrate or a family member managing “I’m bored” energy between matches – City Museum has your build path.
Competitors — along with family, friends, and fans — can enjoy a few private event nights at City Museum April 24, 27, or 30 and/or enjoy discounted admission any day during the tournament.
Option 1: Any Day Discount Admission – $18
The Official Cure to Any Downtime
Long competition days are exciting…unless you’re the sibling.
If you’ve got younger brothers, sisters, cousins, or tag-along family members who have hit maximum boredom capacity between rounds, we’ve got the solution.
City Museum is a multi-story building of tunnels, slides, climbers, adventures, unexpected discoveries, and absolutely zero “quiet please” energy.
Option 2: Private Event Nights – $16
The Ultimate Build Break: A City Museum Takeover!
For three exclusive nights during the VEX Robotics World Championship, City Museum becomes a private playground just for VEX Robotics competitors and attendees.
No public crowds. No judging rounds. No debugging required.
Just:
Live DJ
Karaoke stage
Full museum access
Multiple stories of climbable chaos
After a full day of strategy, coding, and competition, this is your official Build Break!

314DJ will be in Architecture Hall putting on an energizing set to ensure you have an amazing time!
Karaoke Ashley will be set up in Beatnik Bob’s for those that want to sing their hearts out!
