The Magic House Children's Museum is dedicated to educating children, and it provides the kind of educational experience kids love. Most of the 100 or so activities are interactive and hands-on.

Kids have 55,000 square feet of space where they can play. The stately Victorian mansion where the museum is located has three floors, and the building has undergone significant expansions since the Museum’s opening in 1979.

Some of the most popular activities are the Van de Graaff generator, which creates static electricity, making your hair stand up when you touch it; the Jack and the Beanstalk three-floors-high climber; and the Oval Office, Legislative Chamber, and the Courtroom where kids can engage in imaginative play.

They can also work as vets, bank tellers, or librarians in the Children Village, among other activities.

If you are looking for fun things to do in St. Louis, Missouri with kids, don't miss this unique attraction. The Magic House is very popular, and more than half a million people visit it every year.
