Smack dab in the middle of America's bread basket, you'll find the City Museum in St. Louis, Missouri housing a collection of amazingly inventive exhibits and vintage shops more fun than you could imagine. Where else can you find a shoelace factory, an aquarium, a mess of giant slides, a circus, and a Davey Crocket cabin all in one place?
The Museum of Mirth, Mystery and Mayhem is where the innocence, tawdry charms and cheesiness of the carnival midway and eccentric roadside attractions come to life. Don't miss the Elvis Channeler, the Corn Dogs Through the Ages exhibit and the world's largest pair of men's briefs.
What happens when you mix two Saber 40 aircraft fuselages, a fire engine, a castle turret, a 25' tall cupola and several 4' wide wrought-iron slinkies? MonstroCity, the most monumental, monolithic, monstrous montage of monkey bars in the world.
Deep within the heart of CITY MUSEUM. Enchanted Caves offer explorers of all ages an opportunity to walk, climb and crawl through the bowels of the museum.
Finally, stocked to the brim with everything from refurbished furniture to candy bars, vintage clothing to rare CITY MUSEUM relics, purchases from Store 4 allow you to take the real CITY home with you. Rows of colorful bathing suits, old band uniforms and tons of vintage, used clothing make up this 4th floor shop. Why spend $30 on a new mass produced T shirt when you could spend $12 on a vintage one Rodney over on 4th st actually wore. I LOVE this idea.
