The City Museum

Kristia told us about City museum and the locals at the baseball game agreed we need to go, so we did and had no idea what to expect.

The city museum is nothing like we have ever seen before. After three years it was finished in 1997 and is a massive, immersive art installation and architectural playground. Housed in a 600,000-square-foot former shoe warehouse, it is built almost entirely from repurposed industrial objects, salvaged bridges, and urban flotsam.

It operates as an all-ages adventure park where visitors climb, crawl, and slide through handcrafted caves, multi-story chutes, and hanging airplanes. There is also an aquarium that had axolotls and a insectarium of thousands of insects. One of the 5 levels was a parkour park where the kids can jump, swing and run up ramps. The whole thing was just crazy.

Everywhere we turn was something to look at and we have more photos than I can add. Level 4 had an area with local artists and there was another area where you can slide down as high as 7 floors.Leggi altro
