It's really hard to summarize our experience here, because there is SO MUCH to see and do. Everyone in our family, from age 3 to 60, had a blast. This is a must for any family visit to St Louis.Full review by Elferous

I would assume Saturday during the day is the busiest. But I would say outside of getting a snack/eating, it won’t matter. It’s a big place and we went on a busy Saturday and that was the only issue I had.
