The highlight of my trip to St. Lous


The highlight of my trip to St. Louis was the City Museum. It was awesome! Here is a list of things that I liked about the City Museum:

1. The slide that went through ten stories.
You should lie down on a ten-story slide otherwise your clothes will stick and you won't go very fast. Don't worry about people coming down when you're still on the slide because there is a screen showing people when you're at the bottom.

Here is me going down the triangular slide. 
2. The metal hoop tunnels that take you a lot of places.
The metal hoop tunnels lead to other tunnels. They are made of a series of metal hoops, linked together. You can climb on the outside of it or the inside.

3. The huge, ginormous fish tank.
The fish tank had catfish in it and a bunch of snapping turtles. There's a sign on it saying to not put your fingers in. There's a giant fake whale where you can go inside and a lever in the whale where you can make the water flowing into the fish tank more or less. You can also see the fish tank from above.

4. The outside playground, especially the ball pit.
The outside playground has HUGE stuff to climb in like an old steam shovel ladder and there were even real airplanes when you got to the top. There's a Ferris wheel on the the roof and a real school bus on the roof too.

5. The real caves that went through every floor.
It can be a little scary. There are really tight tunnels and it's dark. There are only a couple of lights.


6. The gift shop that was tiled with money.
I went there with my class. Most of the grown ups in the group bought knee pads in the gift shop. There were dimes and nickles and quarters and pennies all tiled on the floor. I'm estimating there's about 1000 coins tiled on the floor in the gift shop.

7. The third floor.
The third floor is said to be haunted but it's really not scary at all. I'm not going to tell you the stories so you won't get scared and never go there. When I was on the third floor I didn't even know it was the third floor because I wasn't scared at all.  The world's biggest underpants are on the third floor, but the third floor can be a little creepy.

There are NO maps so you don't know where you're going, but the exit is pretty clear because it is the same way you came in. The bathrooms are hidden behind the stone mound.  You think it's a wall, but when you go around the corner you see a door to the bathroom.

I do not want to spoil it by telling you all about it. You'll just have to go there yourself. I really recommend going there. It's an awesome place.
