Travel the World: Namaste India

Open Now!

Travel the World reaches its last stop on this journey around the globe! From exploring Bollywood and the Taj Mahal to riding a tuk-tuk and enjoying the unique scents of popular Indian spices, guests will soon experience the wonders of India, a country rich in colorful traditions and futuristic innovation.

To provide authenticity and cultural accuracy, Namaste India was created by The Magic House, St. Louis Children’s Museum in partnership with the St. Louis Indian community. The Magic House formed the Namaste India advisory committee, made up of 32 professionals from around the St. Louis area, all of Indian heritage. Namaste India is the final offering in Thanksgiving Point’s Travel the World exhibit series, which previously included Kenya’s Kids and Argentina’s Niños. Namaste India was created by The Magic House, St. Louis Children’s Museum and generously made possible by the Crawford Taylor Foundation and The Dana Brown Charitable Trust, U.S. Bank Trustee.

Sensory Friendly Tuesday Evenings

To meet the needs of our community, we are excited to announce Sensory Friendly Tuesday Evenings. Families are invited to explore the museum in a sensory-modified environment with lights turned down, reduced sound, and extra signage to help create a safe and less stimulating environment. There will also be a designated quiet area for those who need a respite. These evenings are reserved exclusively for families and children with special needs, autism, or sensory processing differences.

1st and 3rd Tuesdays, every month
5 – 8 pm
December 3, 17: 4 – 6 pm
Free for Thanksgiving Point members and included with regular venue admission
