I grew up going to this great place, and I knew that when we went back to visit family is STL I had to take my son. There is so much fun and learning here and it keeps getting better and better. Make sure you plan to spend a whole day here because there is so much fun in every room. Don't miss out on making your hair stand up with static electricity or on the 3 story slide! Those are the classics at the Magic House!

Lots of rides and "fair" food to enjoy here. There are rides for kids and adults of all ages! Our 2 year old's fav ride was Cave Train, and my husband and I love the old wooden roller coaster. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because it can be costly (like any typical amusement park). Also be prepared...it can be windy and pretty chilly so bring a jacket.

We almost didn't stop here, but the ranger encouraged us to check it out. We are so glad that we did! It was a beautiful day and not crowded at all (even though I had heard it does get busy during summer). There is a trail that hugs along the cliffs and takes you down to the water. Holding on to our two year old's hand we felt totally fine. There is a lot of wildlife to spot: otters, seals, birds, whale, and dolphins. There is a little museum at Whaler's Cove that is interesting.

This playground is well spread out and has lots of fun equiptment to explore. Our 2 year old had lots of fun running around. I would say it is best for 4-8 year olds because some of the slides are high and go fast...ours started to go too fast down one of the slides and started to slide out of control. Don't miss out on the slide under the sun bridge!

This is one of the best aquariums I have ever been to. There are many exhibits to check out and it is very family friendly. Our 2 year old was so excited he wanted to run from exhibit to exhibit to see all the animals. Don't miss out on the sea horse exhibit. I could have stayed all day in there.
