Absolutely worth a visit. If I lived in St. Louis, I'd get a season pass for my grandkids. We spent six hours here and they did not want to leave. So much for the grandkids to see and do. I'm sur…Full review by sohlhausen

A:

It’s a big place and we went on a busy Saturday and that was the only issue I had.

Otherwise it’s so huge, the actual play area won’t matter how busy it is probably. Also my hack was to get bottled water at the gift shop and avoid the super long food and snack lines
