CITY MUSEUM TO HOST FRIGHT AT THE MUSEUM

The Saint Louis City Museum’s mission is to astonish, engage and inspire visitors with a
one-of-a-kind experience exploring the caves, tunnels and exhibits. The famous Saint
Louis attraction will host this unique event from Sept. 29 through Oct. 28. Fright at the
Museum invites audiences of all ages to examine exhibits made specifically for the
event. Specialty food and drink can be purchased from the Vampire Bar.

Megan Thompson, Saint Louis mom of three, reviews her experiences in the Museum.
“The City Museum is a world of wonders. It was my favorite place to go as a child
because you can spend all day in this building and still have more to explore. Now I
bring my kids here and I can still enjoy the festivities and activities, play some pinball
and maybe grab a drink for myself,” Thompson said.

The Museum will challenge realms of creativity and imagination with performers
including contortionists, and fire jugglers. Fright at the Museum will take place during
regular hours of operation. Tickets can be purchased online; single day passes start at
$20.
