The magic house.

Our Mission

The Magic House will engage all children in hands-on learning experiences that encourage experimentation, creativity and the development of problem solving skills within a place of beauty, wonder, joy and magic.

The Magic House will be a leader in providing and advocating hands-on learning for children of all ages and abilities. As the premier children’s museum, it will be a unique, welcoming venue where childhood is protected, nurtured and celebrated.

Our History

The Magic House, a 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit organization, was founded by two St. Louis women, Jody Newman and Barbie Freund, who volunteered three years of their time to create a cultural institution that would be both educational and fun.

To house the region’s first interactive children’s museum, they chose a vacant Victorian mansion in suburban Kirkwood, located in the demographic center of the St. Louis metropolitan area.  The house was originally built in 1901 as a private home for the George Lane Edwards family. Mr. Edwards was a managing partner in his family’s brokerage firm, A.G. Edwards & Sons, as well as the first president of the St. Louis Stock Exchange and a director of the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair. Thanks to the efforts of the founders and the contributions of many St. Louis-area individuals, corporations and foundations, The Magic House opened to the public on October 16, 1979.

Our Audience

Throughout our history, The Magic House has sparked the imaginations of more than 10 million visitors. We welcome over 500,000 children, parents, grandparents and caregivers to the museum each year. More than 47,000 students visit The Magic House annually on school field trips. For those unable to come to the museum, The Magic House comes to them, reaching more than 30,000 children every year through outreach programs delivered to schools, libraries, community centers, child-care facilities and hospitals.

The Magic House is not just for kids! The museum also offers programming for grown-ups including staff development workshops for educators, parent-child classes and special events for grandparents.

Our Funding

The Magic House is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. About half of the museum’s revenue comes from admission fees. Other sources of earned income are the Picnic Basket Café, Museum Shop, memberships and program fees.  The Magic House does not receive funds from the United Way, the Arts & Education Council or tax revenue.

The Magic House’s innovative and interactive exhibits and programs have been recognized by Nickelodeon, Orbitz, FamilyFun magazine and Zagat, which named The Magic House the nation’s top family attraction in “child appeal.”

Our Commitment to All Kids

The Magic House is committed to sharing our resources with all children, especially those who have the fewest opportunities.  The Star Society annual fund and the Education Program Fund both provide free field trips, outreach programs and other hands-on learning experiences for children, families and schools in need.  As part of the museum’s commitment to provide beauty, wonder, joy and magic for everyone, The Magic House also provides events and programs for special populations including new Americans, military families, seriously ill youth and foster children.

Your guide to The Magic House and MADE for Kids in St. Louis

Everything you need to know about the kids' museum's exhibits, special events, and memberships, plus info about its satellite location, MADE for Kids.

The beanstalk-themed climber at The Magic House in St. Louis

The Magic House , and its satellite location MADE for Kids , offer two distinct experiences under one institutional umbrella. The Magic House is St. Louis’ original, hands-on kids’ museum, with exhibits including: cultural immersion ; water/bubble/sand activities ; a child-scale village with a play grocery store , veterinarian office , fishing hole , newborn nursery , and library ; physics experiments ; three-story spiral slide ;  ever-growing outdoor play and construction areas ; and so much more. There’s also a beanstalk-themed climber that stretches from the lower level to the top floor where your young guests will absolutely confound you by slipping into and scrambling away. 

MADE for Kids is a bit like the Art Studio/Make-It Workshop at The Magic House, supersized, with STEAM activities from digital painting and a well-stocked art/craft studio to pottery wheel , button-making station , and 3D printing projects . The recycling/upcycling craft area offers fun tools from scissors and needle/thread to hot glue guns.

Special Events

The Magic House has frequent special events, generally giving participants access to play in the museum afterward. One of the most popular, Big Truck Day , will blow the minds of your young vehicle lovers. Generally held in the fall, it’s a ticketed event that brings cranes, fire trucks, bucket lifts, sleeper cab trucks, and more up close for examination and exploration. Admission also includes a hot dog lunch and private playtime in Trike Town. Cultural events, too, like an observance of the Hindu festival of colors, Holi , and a German Easter celebration , draw crowds. Finally, holiday breakfasts and evenings with characters like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny are annual traditions.

Summer camps for all ages, at both locations, tend to fill up; there’s also a live, virtual preschool art program called “Petite Picasso” Tuesday mornings from 9–9:30 a.m. (with advance registration required.)

Insider Tips

Families can bring outside food and drink to the Magic House, for consumption on the outdoor Garden Pavilion only.

Saint Louis Public Library cardholders can check out a free pass , just like a book, for admission to MADE, valid for admission for two adults and up to four children from the same household. Ask at the circulation desk of your branch. Once used for admission, the pass (issued on a lanyard) will be collected at the desk and returned to the library.

Membership Perks

The Magic House/MADE offers nine annual membership levels , many of which include shop and café discounts, summer camp discounts, members-only events, reciprocity memberships at other Association of Children’s Museums, and 50 percent off guest admissions. The levels range from a Kid’s Club pass ($25 for one child’s admission to the Magic House, with any accompanying adult paying regular admission) to a supersized Grandparents Club ($300, which covers admission to both locations for two grandparents, four adult children, and 16 grandchildren). Family Plus ($250) is a great option for parents and kids from a single household who want to get into both museums.

For just MADE for Kids, there’s an annual membership ($75, two adults, four children). Finally, there are usually a couple of flash sales each year for the higher membership levels, so following The Magic House on social media is a good idea.

It’s a classic for a reason: Let your hair down, and then watch it go up, when touching the electrostatically charged ball (a.k.a. the Van de Graaff generator) on the top floor of the original Magic House building. 

Fishing Pond Childrens Village The Magic House St. Louis

The fishing pond in the children's village at The Magic House

The Magic House: Good for varied ages, from babies through tweens in different areas. Grown-ups will definitely be taking one for the team here, but the delight for the kids is worth it. Baby & Me and Wonder Works exhibits are best for the preschool set, while the Children’s Village and Make-It Workshop are best for school-age and up.

MADE: The hands-on opportunities here are best suited for school-aged visitors, and some (like robotics, game design, and 3D printing) require the ability to read and follow instructions to get the intended result. Great for kids and adults who want to experiment with art, physics, engineering, and upcycling.

Food: At The Magic House, the Picnic Basket Café offers meals and snacks that will cover most appetites, and they’ve somehow got it down to a rapid-serve system. Preordering online is available. No food service at MADE.

Shopping: A shop near the admission desk at The Magic House sells T-shirts, imaginative play toys, and science gear for the preschool/elementary set. Small case of items for purchase at MADE, some for use in the makerspaces onsite.

Charlie Cadabra

Magic Show for Childcare Centers

New magic show each year.

Your have limited entertainment dollars and want quality in-house field trips for the children. Therefore, you need an experienced magician with a Magic Show for Childcare Centers geared to the children’s ages and enjoyed by all.

Because so many centers have me back every year, they want a new Magic Show their Childcare Center. I create a new program every winter for the upcoming year.

New routines, new props, new silly fun, new puppet routine for younger children and more. But the same live rabbit, Harvey!

“The children talked about Charlie Cadabra for days after the magic show! We are looking forward to next summer with Charlie!” – ABC Childcare and Preschool

My Magic Show for Childcare Centers includes different magic tricks and routines based on the age-range of the children attending. Both Preschool or School Age. And, audiences with both age-ranges combined.

“Charlie related well to students and had tricks that were age appropriate. He held their attention and had a great show! Thanks!” – Small World Children’s Center

Most magicians have only one show and do the same show for all ages! But there are vast differences in what a preschool child understands, enjoys and appreciates than school age children.

Discover the Secret for A Fun In-House Field Trip

The new 2019 Magic Show includes age-appropriate routines and astonishing magic tricks! As well as a live rabbit, tons of audience participation and helpers, goofy costumes, silly hats, music. And, a fun puppet routine for younger children.

• The magic shows are 45-minutes long.
• Harvey, my live rabbit, appears, at the end of the show.
• Petting the rabbit as the children exit takes another 10-15 minutes.
• I bring everything needed for the show, including tables and a sound system.

“The children were enchanted. And, several teachers remarked that you have the enviable skill of being able to interact with a large group of children without letting them get out of control.” – The Goddard School

Celebrating Everything Seussical!

Celebrate Dr. Seuss, his many wonderful books, zany creatures, moral lessons and silly fun.

Also, over a dozen of his best-selling books are featured in this Magic Show for Childcare Centers.

As a result, Abra-CAT-abra is also a fun way to teach good character traits while capturing the audience in the weird and wacky world of Dr. Seuss.

Abra-CAT-Abra is for ages 3-9 The Magic Show includes some Seussical rhyming routines, with lots of funny costumes and hats. As well as, Dr. Seuss’ many zany, memorable characters. Plus incredible magic and laughter throughout the show!

“Everyone is looking for inexpensive, great programs. This is a great experience for the children that our program can afford.” – DeLanna Oeder

What’s Included in a Magic Show for Children?

• Harvey, the Magical Rabbit, appears! And, Harvey stays around after the show for everyone to pet.
• Also, lots of audience helpers to ensure that everyone is engaged throughout the show.
• Age-appropriate comedy and magic designed for the audience’s primary age group. Unlike other magicians who only have one show for all ages, my fun magic show is different based on the age range of the audience.
• Incredible magical feats! With magic tricks that has everyone asking: “How did he do that?”
• A hilarious and magical storytelling routine.
• Plus, a funny puppet routine for younger audiences. Sherlock Bones perform a magic trick.
• Children love to dress up. So, the show includes goofy costumes and funny hats worn by the helpers.

“Great, high-energy show! Our students had a ton of fun! You kept us all, students and teachers alike, laughing throughout the performance!” – Sue Glanton

What’s NOT in Charlie’s Magic Show for Childcare Centers?

Based on experience, here is a list of items that are signs of an inexperienced magician that are not going to create a fun magic show for childcare centers.

• No playing card tricks in the Magic Show
• No fire or flames, ever!
• Snakes, rats or scary animals are not used
• No “scare” techniques or “danger” tricks” are included
• No sharp objects, like swords or knives
• Toy weapons are not in my fun magic shows
• No chemicals
• No loud music booming

“The magic tricks are perfect for each age group – not over their heads, but we also love the little jokes that only the teachers understand.” – Jen Fowler

Magic Show Information

You probably only coordinate special events once or twice a year. So, to ensure you get the best possible Magic Show, use the Magician Comparison Worksheet . Most of all, these 12 questions can guide you in selecting a magic show that fits your needs.

Charlie Cadabra is available to perform at your event throughout the Greater Cincinnati Area – including Mason, West Chester, Hamilton, Middletown, Harrison, Florence, Northern Kentucky and more.

Because you may have some questions about booking a magician, these Magic Show FAQs will help answer them.

Since birthdays only come once a year and you want your child’s special day to be memorable. So, your child is the star in Charlie Cadabra’s Birthday Magic Show! In addition, the birthday child helps to magically produce Harvey, a live rabbit. And, everyone gets to pet Harvey after the show.

The Magic Show for Children includes age-appropriate routines, silly fun, and tons of audience participation. And, the magician, Charlie Cadabra has different magic shows based on the age range of the children (pre-school age, school age and both together).

As well as, Charlie’s silly fun, non-scary Halloween Magic Show . The show is perfect for daycares, family events, block parties, and church events. All of the routines are non-scary and silly fun for all ages.

Finally, a Christmas Magic Show with themes to celebrate the holidays. Themes include Santa, Reindeer, Snowpeople, Candy Canes and more!

How you can witness or take part in Major League Baseball’s historic trip to the Magic City

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. ( WBRC ) - We’re less than two months away from Major League Baseball coming to Birmingham and Rickwood Field. The excitement is building not just here in the Magic City, but also with the MLB as well.

This isn’t just a big deal for baseball lovers and Birmingham residents, but also for Major League Baseball executives like April Brown. She says her grandfather traveled to watch several Negro League games and she can’t be more excited to honor the league and its players.

“To pay tribute to all of those players and especially to the ones that are still with us and to have them with us at the Major League game at Rickwood Field just means the world to baseball and just means the world to me personally,” said Major League Baseball Senior Vice President of Social Responsibility April Brown.

The historic event is getting closer and closer which means your opportunity to get a ticket is closing quickly. You have until April 30 to enter the ticket lottery, but you will only be able to enter if you live in Alabama.

“We wanted to make sure that when we brought this event to the community that the community actually had access to see it,” said Brown.

You can enter the lottery online by clicking here , and while getting one may come down to luck, there are other ways you can participate in Major League Baseball’s first game in Alabama.

“Us coming here means there are a ton of opportunities. We need help. So we want to make sure that we have employment opportunities and staffing opportunities. Well over 200 positions will be available,” said Brown.

The positions available include ushers, ticket scanners, directional hosts, guest services and mobility or accessibility support and no matter what you do, you will get paid.

“You are going to be a part of history and you are going to get paid. Those are all paid roles,” said Brown.

Dinos and Books: A Reading Focus! Mark's lifelong work with Children's books and reading continues with Traveling Dinos. From the beginning, to the end, books are incorporated in a way seen in no other museum. As reference points, explanations, inspiration, and shear fabulousness, great books help the museum come to life for your kiddos! Did you know every classic children's fiction/non fiction series features at least one dinosaur book? From Magic Tree House, The Magic School Bus, The A to Z Mysteries, to The Boxcar Kids and beyond.  New Dino Fiction and Science Non- fiction is coming at a rate like we've seen with few other areas of interest. Over and over we've seen hard to reach kids connect with something in the museum that captivates them, which opens the pathway for you to guide them in areas of interest. One of the coolest things that happens regularly is when we see a kid sitting in the middle of the hubbub of the visit leafing through one of the displayed books, lost in the pages. Magic does happen here! After all, it's what we do! You did know you were in the Magic Business right?

Inviting Traveling Dinos is Easy Peasy!

Tami will work with you on the best dates, and she is an expert at helping you with group scheduling. We bring everything with us, you provide the space, and the tables. (Approximately 9 tables, with at least 4 the same size.) We'll provide you with a guide to help you prepare and also understand the experience from start to finish.
