During a recent trip to my hometown, St. Louis, we rediscovered one of this city's finest treasures. I had not been since I was a child, so we took the kids to the Magic House, the St. Louis Children's Museum. WOW. All I can say is WOW. This place is a learning haven for both children and adults (and let's face it, the most passionate nerds among us) ; )

As the website states, kids have the opportunity to "touch an electrically charged ball and make your hair stand on end, push a giant pin screen to create a 3-D impression of yourself, spin the giant kaleidoscope wheel and produce a dazzling display of colorful symmetrical patterns and express your artistic side in the Art Studio". Ummmm, can I just move in? From the insanely large bubbles to the 3 story slide to the math puzzles, bell-curve/probability distribution..... I am not sure if it was more entertaining for the kids or adults in our group!! Everyone had a ball, and we didn't even get through half the place. The best part is that it is located in Kirkwood, not far from my parents' home.
I can't wait to go back during our next visit. I feel so fortunate to share this unique attraction with my kiddos whenever we travel to St. Louis. Thank you, Magic House!
