The Magic House - St Louis Children's Museum

Today we went to the Magic House and it was amazing. It was heaving with people, being Saturday afternoon, but so worth it. They had loads of activities for Jack's age, really neat things. And some amazing things for older kids too, I mean I thought more than once, "I would love to play with that!". For Jack's age there were blocks (huge rubbery legos), slides, an enormous water table, several sand boxes, tunnels, and loads of smaller exhibits. There was a little room with a variety of light switches that turned on/off the lights above them, door bells and buzzers that worked, but all at their height. For older kids (and this is just the part we saw) there was a real grocery where you could shop and then check out your items (after you had been to the 'bank' to get your money), fully equipped kitchen/dining room, a life sized interactive oval office and courtroom (complete with robes they could put on). There was even a small section for babies (under 24 months) with items they could really interact with. The list goes on and on. Needless to say, we'll be going back. We were there an action packed 2 hours and anyone with a toddler knows its hard to keep them interested that long. But next time I think we'll go in the morning or during the week when its less busy. Jack was tired out tonight! We had the all clear at his ENT appointment yesterday, everything looked great. Still planning a trip to Georgia next week, just Jack and I, but I haven't started packing yet!
