Play Street Museum is a franchise and this is their first location in Missouri. They opened in early 2019 in the Streets of St. Charles shops. They are an interactive, small-format children’s museum targeting children ages 8 and younger. It is designed to foster a child’s sense of independence and creativity.

The "street" includes a grocery store, veterinarian, firehouse, doctor's office, home, and pizza parlor. They also have a huge light bright hanging on the wall and several areas for imaginative play with wooden toys and blocks. They also have a dinosaur area complete with a volcano.

At 2400 sq. feet it isn't a huge space, which will appeal to a lot of parents who don't want a huge museum where kids can run off and get lost. They are open Monday through Thursday 9-5, Friday 9-8, and Saturday and Sunday are reserved for private parties and special events. They offer a lot of themed storytimes, sensory-friendly events, yoga, slime parties, and more.

It's best suited for kids 1-8.  (Children younger than 1 or older than 8 are free if accompanied by a paying sibling). You have to sign a waiver and they do not allow food in the play area.  They also don't allow more than 25 kids in at a time so you can be sure it won't become extremely crowded and overwhelming.

This place is really charming, and such a great addition to the St. Louis area! My daughter LOVED pretending to be a vet and my son loved running the grocery store.
