About the City Museum

If CCRx could grow up and be anything in the world, we'd be the City Museum in St. Louis. It is the Mecca for Creative Reuse.

Originally a Buster Brown Shoe Factory, the City Museum is a giant indoor/outdoor, interactive artist-designed sculpture where kids and adults can crawl, jump, climb and bounce their way through 10 floors of inspiration. And slide.

There's an aquarium with more than 10,000 creatures -- sharks, stingrays, and seahorses -- swirling around artist-designed mosaic floors, columns, tunnels and tubes.

And a giant slide made from the factory's conveyor belt.

Monstro-City, a 7-story outdoor jungle gym with a steeple, an airplane, several slides, a giant ball pit, and more slides.

An eternal campfire with infinite marshmallows for roasting.

A Treehouse with hollowed-out trunk near the two-story Waterfall and goldfish pond.

A Circus. Miniature Trains. An Architecture Museum. A Skate Bowl. Giant pencil. Shoelace machines.

A giant 7 story corkscrew chutes and ladders where shoes would slide down to be loaded on trucks. Now you can slide down and land in the Enchanted Caves, an underground labyrinth with dragons and a pipe organ.

A real log cabin that is a bar.

A Ferris Wheel and a School Bus on the Roof.

And... did we mention slides?

See you in St. Louis!
