My first thought.
malexmatt
Why did this get me hard?
malexmatt
Oh, right, Tina Fey is sexy as fuck. Almost forgot.
astrocouldyounaut
You missed a picture of the life sized hamster wheel thing inside. Almost broke my ankle trying it in heels during a wedding
yellowblastoise
Sister had her wedding reception here. everyone brought spare clothes and we had a blast.
poortom
Well I'm going to St. Louis.
IAmInspectorSpaceTime

poortom

DukeofValentino
Meh, not really that bad if you stay out of bad areas and you aren't a gang member.
regenrok
OMG ST. LOUIS IS ON IMGUR. I'M ONLY 2 HOURS AWAY. I GO TO THIS PLACE OFTEN, AND I CAN'T STOP SHOUTING.

the best part is, It gets bigger every year.

As an Englishman who lives in London, I need to go to St. Louis

That's awesome! You've been taught well. May I ask why you moved here?

On a Tampa Baynian who grew up going to Cardinals games in St Pete GO CARDS GO
EchoOfSnac
Cards? As in Magic: The Gathering?
Witmonger
We do host some pretty big MtG tournaments here and have a line of gamer geek stores called The Fantasy Shop, plus some rad one-off shops.
EchoOfSnac
My nearest large city hosts the "World's Largest Magic: The Gathering Store". I occasionally visit on Fridays for the weekly tournament.
MKDagger
Best city in the world! GO CARDS!
DeerJesus
BIRDS!
youareprobablyanidiot
Thank you! So tired of people trashing on my city.
mudslideslim
No one trashes on your city...just the Rams!
gammaraycharles
I've shunned them.
Billyberdeen
No problem! People were really kind to me because (of course) I'm foreign, saw a world series game and loved the nightlife. I <3 St.Louis
mdbf
Woo St. Louis! I'm upset I didn't have time to go there last time I was in town.
ourari
This is going on my bucket list.
WaifuRapist
Well besides all the meth
IAmInspectorSpaceTime
It's not that bad. You barely notice when someone tweaks out in their car and dies in a Walgreens parking lot.
SamuraiFoxes
Super worth the trip. And they sell beer there.
citymuseum
We have buckets around, we would be happy to part with one.
Karoku
Why wait?
StarTheImposer
Never forget to climb inside the whale!
bernlack
Me as well.
alopey
You won't be disappointed. It's so much fun at night
puppydup
I loved it
IAmInspectorSpaceTime
It's really worth it.
WaifuRapist

WashU bucket list ftw
ElleWoodsIRL
You aren't even seeing the massive ball pits with monkey bars, the caves system, and the 4 story slide (or however tall it is)
WhimsicalCalamari
And the Skateless Skatepark!
Pyranamus
I think you mean the 10 story slide

(dont go to the east side(its not even actually st louis anyway))
Walrosity
As long as you don't cross the river
LordTyranius
If you aren't from around here, chances are you will accidentally make it there. Hell, if you from around here chances are you'll do same
TanstaaflTovarisch
If there is water under you...you're going the wrong way.
Thirsty4knowledge
Unless you want to visit great strip joints!
youareprobablyanidiot
Unless you want blow and/or strippers. Also Pop's is open 24hrs.
CaptainRedHat
And a gunshot wound.
ADSquared
Pop's needs to change the slogan to Pop's Sucks
Witmonger
I've only ever gone for concerts, but I don't mind Pop's. I got to open for Green Jello there. ^_^
youareprobablyanidiot
That being said if you don't want to go home and it's 5am Pops is there.
ADSquared
strip clubs are also there lol
youareprobablyanidiot
Truth, but as a straight female they don't really do it for me. :)
youareprobablyanidiot
Can't say I've ever had a good time there either.
HalifaxSamuels
As an adult who has crawled through there many times before: it's not ALL adult sized, and you will desperately wish you were a bit smaller.
mrmukaoy
As a fairly large, out of shape person, I get trapped and exhausted in there.
MRBEEFCAKE
Yeah, as a 6'4 man, there's absolutely nothing "adult sized" about this place. I've been there a couple times.
MundaneFacts
i'm the same size and i've never gotten stuck. so, it's not not adult sized.
MRBEEFCAKE
Then you also know there are A LOT of places in that building that you can not go into.
Vandercookie
Didn't stop my dad from trying!
zazouzazou
View up at the school bus.
zazouzazou
View down from the school bus.
Yeahmynameisshe
Were you on a bridge, or are you on Ms. Frizzle's bus? xD
TheLastThing
OMG WE WERE GOING TO GO THERE AFTER THE ARCH BUT RAN OUT OF TIME AND WE HAD TO GO BACK!!! I made a huge mistake.
ChooseCarefully
I was born in East St Louis. What a difference a river makes.
chelseadamnit
perfectly put.
youareprobablyanidiot
Sorry kid.
MundaneFacts
I feel your pain. I had to drive through there a couple of times. stay strong.
VicksDayQuil
I had an old school mate get stuck trying to get out of a tunnel here. Funniest day ever.
KotteTheHalfling
Sounds funny... and scary O.o
VicksDayQuil
She was scared she was never gonna make it out. I thought it was funny but she was scared. Lolll
KotteTheHalfling
I can imagine :P But how did she get inside in the first place? Did it grow smaller at the end? Sounds claustrophobic either way >.<
VicksDayQuil
Well we went into this underground tunnel thing and the opening at the end of the tunnel got really small and we lost her there.....
KotteTheHalfling
Scary stuff! O.o
blerghhhhhhh
MY CITY :') this place is AMAZING at any age. really easy to get lost in the caves though...
yellowblastoise
went with a bunch of friends and played hide and seek in those caves. toughest game ever
blerghhhhhhh
some don't make it out alive :P
Es21futbol
Bring knee pads. You can thank me later.
Walrosity
Oh Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck knee pads, as a resident of st Charles who visits this place regularly just go wild
Witmonger
Also in St. Chuck and agree. If you don't leave the City Museum bruised, broken, and bleeding, you did it wrong.
TheseAreTheQuestions
And a headlamp if you plan on doing some serious late night exploring
merveille2
And hand sanitizer. I definitely got snotted at one point.
iamthisguy247
That's what she said. But seriously, good advice.
coffeenmorecoffee
Can confirm. As a 27ish year old, skinned my knee falling down the no-skateboards-skate-ramp
CapnHoSlapn
OP's mom will thank you.
cozylace
True. My leg slipped through one of the bars and i had bruises the size of my hand on both sides of my knee (worth it though!)
woodenrobot
They let you wear thongs!? Feet style, flip flops, whatever you call them over there.
irule10101010
I read that in Sandra Bullocks voice from the Blind Side...
beansandcornbreadandgreens
this is great advice.
DeerJesus
And lube. Some of the places are hard to squeeze into.
Aekely
(1) I went here in March and got a big whole in the back of my pants. I was wearing my Spongebob boxers that day.
Aekely
(2) I didn't realize until we left. So every time I was climbing there was some person being glared at from my ass by Spongebob.
ashmenon
Bring knee pads *to thank me later #FTFY
kurtov
I bring knee pads everywhere for when things get intense. http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/LUTst.gif
nerdsmile
And a head light!!
sanitypotion
And from the looks of it (metal everywhere), an antibacterial solution in a holstered spray bottle.
devilspanties
I thought you could rent them there? Might have changed since I went last http://thedevilspanties.com/archives/2734
lee21325
This sounds a lot dirtier than intended, I'm sure.
Flamingosbitch
Well that all depends on if OP's mother is there
sudoiamroot
Maybe, maybe not
shan88
Maybe go fuck yourself
sudoiamroot
Good idea, m8

Imgur field trip?

Here's a shot you might like as well.
Casnchaos
Not pictured in here is the snowflake room, the circus, aquarium, ramp room, giant roller pin slide, miniature train etc
yellowblastoise
that roller pin slide is the best!
MuchDogeWowSuchShibe
They also have a big pipe organ now in the slide area. I play it for the guests every time I visit.
Casnchaos
I haven't seen it, is it a recent addition? Trying not to make a joke about you playing your pipe organ in front of people :D
MuchDogeWowSuchShibe
I think it was added in 2008.. I think. This video shows it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vP4YL7EAv7k
DeadlyLittleKate
I swear if they had one of these in every city it would solve America's obesity problem.
zazouzazou
The main reason I vist St Louis (besides the food).I love the rooftop Ferris wheel 8 stories up.
miniatureDimenstionsOfMammothProportions
Adding this to my Road trip pit stops
ZebadiahCarter
ProTip as a resident: at 9:00pm on Friday and Saturday they kick the kids out and open the bar. And it's exactly as amazing as it sounds...
walterpeck
Finally, a reason to visit St. Louis.
UsernameForwardSlashAccountURL
*adds to bucket list*
CapnHoSlapn
You'll die drunk while you are there so keep that at the end of the list.
SoURsayingTheresAChance
A few years ago I was offered a phd position at WashU, they took me here when I visited, I still reminisce about it, WashU knew what's up
OhNoNotThatGuyQuickEverybodyHide
As an adult, the only way I'm climbing ladders and stairs is if I'm drunk.
snifters
As someone who has never left my home country. I finally know im missing out on things. Will begin saving for plane tickets STL now!!!!!!!!!
CindyWho4
When it's cold, they also build huge fires out here and have marshmallows to roast. And that's awesome, too.
WorldsFirstAnalrapist
Is this a joke?
ZebadiahCarter
Nope, it's 100% accurate. And TOTALLY GLORIOUS, I can assure you.
WorldsFirstAnalrapist
Time to gather some friends and take a drive!
Ultratoxic
There's also a gift shop on the third floor that sells neck ties for $1
kubi
Sounds like a very fun date night. And honestly who would turn that down?
Fatitude
As somebody who lives in the area, the bar is always open. Why wait?
klipkloper
As a 21 year old resident..... thank you for telling me this
xgambitx
St. Louis City here i come!
KryomGAC
Oh god. I need this!
tinypixiexoxo
I would just worry about... having to pee every 20 min
Blackwell2010
You're my hero!
ZebadiahCarter
Because I got drunk, played cave tag, and went down the 3 story slide? Then we can ALL be heros!
pleaseletmehaveanamewithbaconinit
As a sullivan resident, the drive is totally worth it
pimentoliv
I got tipsy and pretended to pilot the plane, most entertaining
TheDaVinciLoad
Originally from Kansas City, for once I envy St. Louis.
EarendilTheBlessed
i must go here and drink rambunctiously
ChickenandFishMakesAGreatDish
Add another reason to my "Reasons to Visit St. Louis" list, bringing the grand total to two
sudoiamroot
Hells yeah, did that for my birthday last year :)
Groose
that would be amazing for an imgur meet and greet...now if only i had money...

As a resident this just made my day
RecombinantDAD
And if you're tall, watch your head
ReallyWellFuck
Sooooo badass! We need one in chicago
mynameisarcher
Unfortunately the guy who designed & built this one was crushed by a slab while constructing a second similar place entirely out of concrete
kablooeykath
I have scars from this exact timeframe..I was 31 at the time.
ILikeMineWithLettuceAndTomato
I'm from Stl & I've still never been!
Vandercookie
Except they don't kick out the kids. One of the Wash U sororities got banned for puking in trash cans in front of Girl Scouts after 9:00 pm.
Helius13
As a STL native, I can tell you this place is dirtier than an obese 60 year old hooker's snatch. Fun as hell, but you might leave with HIV.
QueefItsWhatsForDinner
I've been there but had no idea about the after party. Need to plan a road trip.
tomtomson
Plastered on the worlds largest jungle gym. What could possibly go wrong?
octabeck
is it maybe a little silly to call this place a "museum"?
Vandercookie
It's a museum of the city itself because the building materials were all salvaged from demolition sites throughout St. Louis.
MonkOfMadness
I will second this.
lkiitma
Can... can I come stay with you?
Adiktedgottaregisternow
Yeah...me too ? Please ?
YouSufferWithCognitiveDissonance
Must be a blast having drunk people puking on you from above
xxMycroftxx
I'm calling my friend from STL and yelling at him for not informing me of this.
rectalprolapse
They also had a kick-butt vintage clothing store inside. You didn't even need to pay admission to ship there! And then it closed.
MouseTheFooDog
I wish this were in Chicago for the sole reason that then it might show up in a Dresden Files book
LadyBith
I read that as 9am at first... would have been even awesomer.
drewmatic305
who wants to be my new stl friend so i can go visit this place?? ill be your new san diego friend
poopjokesarefunny
I was going to say the only thing missing is beer; congratulations on the bar playground!
ElleWoodsIRL
As a STL native, hide and seek in the caves is the BEST!
Kaz88
oh my god yes.
Manateechica
I am visiting my friends there this weekend. Yesssss. Soooo going. Making plans right now. Thanks Imgur!
Istealfromthefrontpage
I'm coming here for my birthday in a month... hide n seek sounds awesome
ChakkaMofo
So many happy bruises. I love that place.

I learned the hard way not to lift my knees too high on the spiral slide.

I wore a fuckin' long dress that I cannot toss because the memories are so dear.

Even better when you climb out of the giant glove vagina.

I would absolutely go to this.

St. Louis has always been on my radar in terms of US cities I wanna visit. This info only helps the cause.

I wish I knew about this before I visited St. Louis!!

St. Louis is amazing! If you decide to go, hit me up with a message! I love showing people around.
mrsgerdieman
So many amazing places here in the STL. Make sure to check out a cardinals game, the STL science center, zoo, and the botanical gardens.
Xzchaeitoe
Just don't go to East. DONT DO IT!!!
MyUsernameWasUnavailableSoIHadToMakeAReallyLongOne
Make sure to visit east st. Louis, by far the most beautiful part :)
AHornyRhino
LOL. My dad and I got lost, followed a cop off the exit and ended up in East St. Louis. Cop stopped and did U-turn and left. We followed.

Everything is fucking free there

Free Grant's Farm if you don't use their parking lot.

And that is why I love St. Louis.

You can crash at my pad if you wanna visit.

I already live in St. Louis but can I crash at your pad for no reason?
mynameisarcher
I'll come too
gammaraycharles
Me too?

Yep. If you are a male with a lady friend that's a plus. My girlfriend likes people as much as I do.
