The Magic House


While we were enjoying our Thanksgiving trip to St. Louis we had a chance to visit The Magic House, St.Louis' Children's Museum. It was great! Granted, it was busy, but very cool nonetheless. G'Ma and G'Pa joined us for a few hours of exploration. We were lucky to get a picture with everyones favorite curious monkey, George, and Troy got to be the Man With the Yellow hat!

I am huge fan of most museums that cater to the creative exploration of young minds. We have now been to Children's Museums in Atlanta, Saint Louis, and of course, Saint Paul. When we get a chance to go back to Columbus I look forward to taking the child to COSI. I loved going there as a kid and I think Owen will like it, too. One day (sigh) when we get the chance to take Owen to NYC we can overload him on museums there as well.

This keyboard not only played music it also played bubbles!

Just one of the great rooms at The Magic House

Musical and Beautiful and sturdy enough for kids to climb on. My kind of instrument!

This gadget was so cool! It was huge! Kids would push on one side and the shape would pop out on the other. Owen learned fast not to put his face on it! It's not like the little ones!

We had a great time and Owen said the next time we moved he wanted to move to St.Louis.
