ST. LOUIS – City Museum is in the running for the titles of America’s “Best Children’s Museum” and “Best Immersive Art Experience” as part of national polls conducted by USA TODAY.
People can vote for the City Museum to gain national spotlight through the USA TODAY 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards.
A panel nominated 20 spots around the United States for top honors as a “children’s museum” and/or its “immersive experience.” City Museum was nominated for both polls.
As of Tuesday, City Museum is in 12th place in the children’s museum voting and fourth place in the immersive experience voting.
“Housed in the 600,000-square-foot former warehouse of the International Shoe Company, the City Museum in St. Louis, Missouri, has a bit of everything — the world’s largest jungle gym, a 10-story spiral slide, and a rooftop garden with stellar views of the city,” said USA Today.
Voting closes at 11 a.m. CT on February 12. USA TODAY will announce the winners of the competition later in 2024.
City Museum is located in the Downtown West neighborhood at 750 N. 16th Street and recently celebrated 25 years. It earned a rave review last year from the New York Times for its giant playground and growing arts scene.
