The guys who work in our St. Louis office told me there is no explaining the City Museum, it has to be experienced.   They were right.  Wow.  It's amazing.  The closest description I can give is that it's a gigantic fantastic art installation you explore physically...a bizarre real-life game of chutes and ladders....with caves, a ferris wheel, aquariums, airplanes, a pipe organ, and the world's largest pair of underpants.

I started on the roof...

Then shot down a ten story spiral slide to the caves...

I wandered up, down and around a maze of tunnels, stairs and chutes for at least half an hour, eventually emerging into the bright light of a giant tree fort...

I climbed up to the mezzanine...

then wandered around in totally goofy wonderment...every once in a while I'd walk into a room so normal looking it seemed out of place...

I ended outside in the MonstroCity...

I didn't explore as much of the museum as I would have if I were younger, limber, and had worn proper shoes....I hadn't planned for climbing.  Next time I go to St. Louis I'm going prepared and alotting time to spend the whole day there.

My pictures don't do it justice...watch this video...
