There are employees at certain stops to help with picture taking, which is great. We went in order, you can do it however you like. It makes you think and its fun!

I am itching to go back already, it is well-worth the price ($18 for both my child and I). There is a lot of outdoor activities, so I would go on a nice day, but there's plenty to do inside as well if you need a rainy-day activity. So many fun activities for children, from a racing car track to a large outdoor xylophone, a "tree house" and fun little pretend areas, such as a hospital (the nursery, of course) pizza parlor, a market stand with fake food. Outside has a lot of fun things for Littles to climb on and explore. We will definitely be back!

Sooo many thing to see and do! Had to leave but will come back to do more activities.read more

This historic building has multiple levels full of exhibits from arts, crafts, a storybook auditorium, to a mini grocery store for learning and plenty of pretend play. This place is often very crowded and can be overwhelming for children and adults so remember to take breaks and if needed go to the sensory friendly room to regroup. For accessibility may be harder to navigate if using a mobility device or if need a sight cane. I would also not recommend using a service dog at this location due to the combination of crowds, noises, and difficulty of children understanding the dog is working (they will ask to pet).

We hosted our little's 2nd birthday party here and we could not be happier with how all worked out…read more I specifically chose this space as it is one big open area including play space and gathering/eating space - no private rooms = parents don't have to go in and out to supervise their young toddlers and that all the parents were able to hang out! Also, the space is just so dang cute and aesthetically pleasing! We and all of the attendees all came from the STL city area and all were surprised and impressed by the space. We chose a 9am Sunday time which was perfect for little and families, all eager to start the day early and play! As far as the party hosting goes, it was so seamless and Gabby was there early to help us set up/clean up everything. She was so helpful and efficient and also help guide us with timing of cake cutting and when it was time to start ushering people out. We brought in breakfast catering and gabby helped set up all the food/beverages that we brought in too. Completely seamless, infinitely helpful. All the kiddos had a blast and all the parents enjoyed our social gathering together. I highly recommend play street museum for private parties, without hesitation!

I attended the Science Center for The annual Great Taste event and it's easily one of the most fun…read moreand flavorful events of the year. The energy in the room was lively, social, and full of people genuinely excited to try bites from some of the best local spots. There was an impressive variety of vendors, cuisines, and creative dishes that made every stop feel like a new experience. It's the perfect event to attend with friends while discovering restaurants you may not have tried yet. Everything I tasted was delicious and beautifully presented. The atmosphere never lost its excitement and charm. You could feel how much pride each vendor had in showcasing their best bites. It's a fantastic way to celebrate the local food scene all in one place. The only reason for four stars is timing and quantity -- the two-hour general admission window (with it being a sold out event) didn't feel like enough time to make it to every area. A few vendors had already run out of food by the time we reached them (lines to get samples were also long), which was a little disappointing. It would be great to see either a slightly longer event window or for vendors to come with more servings. Overall, it's still an event I would absolutely recommend and definitely attend again!

There's lots to do in a fairly condensed space: two bounce houses, rideable animals, climbing wall, and play structure. Our kids had a blast. Best of all, there were only two other kids, so little competition for playing stuff. As a bonus, there's a nice seating area for parents, with a complimentary Keurig coffee machine. All in all, a nice, chill way to spend the morning and get out of the house. I wouldn't pay full price, but if there's another Groupon, I'll definitely pounce!

There is also a small play structure, a train table, and some ride on animals. It's not one of those play areas with a large variety of toys, but if your kids love bouncing it's a fun place to go. I think it is a little expensive for what you get, but you can look out for deals. It's pretty low key for the parents. You can't bring food or drink but they have small snack options. It isn't that big but it has never been that crowded. My kids love it here.

I really enjoyed this family visit to the aquarium. It's cute and interactive and great for kids…read more The aquarium itself is levels and the first thing you do is walk onto their "train" which takes you on a journey through history/StL time and is one of those interactive sit and watch the screens while it simulates movement-type of rides and my two-year old was thrilled and fascinated. A little cheesy, but cute. Lots of big and well-lit, clean aquariums for my little girl to get up close and personal and look and learn. I loved the Doctor fish area where you can basically get a fish manicure - I've never done anything like that before and it was sooooo cool! The second floor is more interactive with the touching stations for jellyfish, feed and pet the stingrays and more. I loved the small toddler play area for my daughter and the interactive water station. They also have different pets and shows at different times all day long where you can learn about all sorts of things - while we were there it was a leopard gecko which was so cute! It's not very big - but, they make good use of the space they have and it's located in the beautiful Union Station area with dining and other things to do nearby with plenty of paid parking. There is the St Louis Farris Wheel, a soda fountain, and carousel as well as a train. You can buy a pass for the adventure ropes course up above and the selfie museum as a package to save some money. We didn't this time, but I do want to come back to the selfie museum in the future - it's only $10 per person and looks cute and fun.
