Attractions

1. City Museum – https://www.citymuseum.org/ Entry Fee

The City Museum is a large exploration museum housed in the old International Shoe building in St. Louis City. This museum is largely made out of repurposed architectural materials. It has been described as, “a wild, singular version of an oddball artistic mind.” I would describe it as a large indoor, outdoor, playground with many different worlds you can enter into! 

2. Grant’s Farm – https://grantsfarm.com/ No Entry Fee 

Grant’s Farm is a St. Louis landmark farm located in Grantwood Village, MO and was originally the home to Ulysses S. Grant in 1848. Over the years this farm was sold to the Busch family who are still in ownership today. In 2015-2016, the St. Louis Zoo offered to purchase the farm for over $25M. After discussion back and forth, their offer was withdrawn. The Busch heirs decided to purchase the farm to keep it in the family and continue to grow it so that it can stay a free attraction to the community. 

3. The Magic House – https://www.magichouse.org/ Entry Fee

This not-for-profit children’s museum is located in the heart of Kirkwood, MO. This gorgeous victorian style home was originally built in 1901.
