Slides in the CavesExplore

Slides, caves, climbers, a bus, a praying mantis?

Housed in an old shoe factory, City Museum is an indoor, outdoor, and underground playground for adventurous visitors!

I just love the Ferris Wheel. Seeing the city from the vantage point is unreal.

Katie P. – Yelp review

I wish every museum were as interactive as this one. It’s like a historical amusement park.

V. Yee – Google review

The 10-story spiral slide should be on everyone’s bucket list!

Lora K. – Google review

The building is a kid’s fantasy – an entire building of caves, tunnels, slides, and secret passages.

Guess what’s coming this Friday? 💀

Don't miss your chance to experience the rooftop this year! 😄 

Open through October, this weird rooftop has a giant school bus hanging off the side, a giant Praying Mantis, tons of slides and things to climb, and Big Eli Ferris Wheel! 🎡 🚌
Today, 125 years after it was first installed, this Louis Sullivan cartouche has been installed again on the 4th floor at City Museum. 

This piece was originally created for the Gage Building in Chicago, IL. Built: 1898-1899 Removed: 2015 (Building is still there. Cartouche removed because it was deemed in poor shape.) It took the scenic route getting here, but we're thrilled it made it!

What is a cartouche? So glad you asked: It is an ornate or ornamental frame, also an oval or oblong figure (as on Egyptian monuments) enclosing a sovereign's name. 

🌈 The more you know 🎶
A mystery egg sack filled with spiders has popped up in the stairwell. 

We'll keep you posted as things develop 👀
