The Magic House St. Louis
St. Louis Children’s Museum
The Magic House is one of the best Children’s Museums in the St. Louis area. They have exhibits for all ages from toddlers to school age. It’s the perfect indoor kids activity in St. Louis.
Indoor Fun Activities for Kids
One of the best things about the Magic House Children’s Museum is that it’s indoors! During the wintertime and especially during winter break it can be hard to find indoor activities that keep the kids busy. The Magic House has so much to do and you can easily spend a whole day there with the kiddos.
Magic House History
The Magic House was founded by two volunteers in 1979 and opened as the original 5,500 square foot victorian mansion you can still see from the front. Since 1979 the Magic House has grown to over 55,000 square feet of interactive exhibits through several expansions.

The Magic House has several special events every year for kids. Find their full event calendar here.

Physical Activities Too!
When you’re looking for a place to take the kids in St. Louis where they can burn off some energy indoors, the Magic House is perfect. They have lots of climbing and interactive activities for kids to exercise their bodies and brains.
Magic House Construction Zone
My boys love the construction zone at the Magic House where kids can pretend to be on a real life construction site. They can learn about levers and pulleys while using their muscles to move building materials around. There’s also a fun digging area and real construction equipment for them to sit in.
