St. Louis, December 2015... I Forgot, Part II

So a couple of weeks back I had posted a bit about our trip to St. Louis in December of 2015 and how I had forgotten to ever post anything about it.  I did the first post but thought I had too many pictures to just do one blog post.

So here's the second...  and I decided there will be a third as well.  Why?  Because the City Museum is beyond an awesome place to visit! 
 
This is one of the aquariums that they have.  It's hard to really tell what you're looking at here and the scale of it, but trust me when I say, it was cool!

This is from atop one of the staircases that you encounter in the joint.  The stairs are at the bottom of the pic.  Any of the curly-q metal you see is stuff for people to climb in.  Yes, some of the stuff in this photo is over three stories tall.  The long copper'ish looking thing on the right side of the photo is a slide from the story above where we took the picture!

Giant propellers on each side of the photo and the pipe organ room straight ahead.

The pipe organs were, sadly, behind glass and therefore, difficult to get a decent picture.

Crazy chairs.  Now they have these same chairs at the Des Moines Farmers Market.

A display that you can walk on.  So, what is it that they're walking on?

Thousands of tiny people who are holding up the floating glass floor.

Weirdness #1...

Weirdness #2.  This is surrounding the cafe area.

Other weirdness.  I think that this was an area where Robby went down a slide to a different floor and we had to go find him.  A little discomforting, but it all ended well!

The worlds largest pencil. Why?  Because the world likes big, weird things... that's why!

The boys crawling thru some curly-q's that we had no idea of where they would exit.

More of the same...

Second story curly-q's.

Robby is up in there somewhere.  Roughly four stories up.

Speaking of the lad, that's him about dead-center in the photo.  We were on a bench, nearly four stories directly below him.


And so it was.  Up next is the slides and the outside of this wonderful building.
