Waste Of Time

The following is St. Louis City Museum’s ten story slide. That’s somewhere I need to visit one day. 

THERE’S THE GIANT WHALE

THERE IS A VERY LARGE PENCIL

A SKATE PARK WITHOUT SKATES

A CIRCUS 

SHOE LACE FACTORY FOR ALL YOUR LACING NEEDS

A FERRIS WHEEL ON THE ROOF AND A PRAYING MANTIS AND A SCHOOL BUS

AWESOME CAVE SYSTEMS OF MYSTERY

MONSTROCITY

IT’S A WONDERLAND OF ART AND WHIMSY AND DANGER

The ten storey slide is BRUTAL, both the climb and the slide. There’s a candy store near the giant pencil which sells old retro candy and you can sit in a terrifying carnival room and eat a chick-o-stick.

There is a bar next to a marshmallow roasting pit next to a grownup-sized ball pit.

Prepare to spend the next day horizontal, however. After spending a day there with a friend my own age and a rambunctious five year old, I was bruised from hip to ankle and bleeding in a couple of places. (100% worth it.)
