Spotlight St. Louis: The Neon Museum Of Saint Louis

Two weeks ago we went and explored The Neon Museum of Saint Louis and let me tell you all what, this place was AWESOME! Although intimate in size, every square inch of it was absolutely maximized with neon. So scroll through my photos and then with the knowledge I provide at the tailend of this post, make immediate plans to visit this spectacular space on your own!

This place held a smattering of eclectic and electric offerings. Truly there was something special to see everywhere you looked!

There were several people sitting at the bar on stools, but we honestly just brushed past this part, so we were unclear if they truly offered any food or beverage options past the bottled water we saw in the cooler pictured above. I’m sure this area comes in handy though when the space is rented out for a wedding or some such event.

The case shown in the bottom left hand corner was quite informative about what neon is and how its produced.

The upper level was not open to the public on the night of our visit. I hope they acquire enough new neon to fill that space up as well in the future.

You know I love these kaleidoscope tunnels!

Taken in something else I love, a mirror!

In our guided tour we learned that neons would vary some depending on the region because of the local neon builder and distributors. I just found that to be interesting because I automatically assumed they’d be essentially the same anywhere you went.

They do have a restroom and it was super clean and tidy.

I loved so much how the glass reflected the neon lights back. It truly amplified the neon glow from every which angle.

Seeing the Schnucks sign made us all smile. Loved seeing that hometown ensignia.

We can make any opportunity a photographic one.

I love rhinoceros, so although I don’t know what the Raging Rhino is, I thought this neon was super cute.

I keep saying there was something special to see everywhere you look and I absolutely mean it. You never knew what your eyes were going to come across!

The Neon Museum of Saint Louis is located at 3537 Chouteau Avenue, St. Louis, MO, 63103 in the midtown neighborhood and is sandwiched between the new Target store and new Topgolf entertainment facility. I didn’t notice a parking lot, but there was plenty of streetside parking.

The Neon Museum of Saint Louis is only open on the second and fourth Wednesdays and Saturdays of the month. Looking ahead that means they’re open November 20 and 23 then December 11 and 14. Skipping the week of Christmas puts them back open on January 8 and 11 followed by the 22 and 25. Their hours are from 6:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. and it costs $5 a person to get in.

The Neon Museum of Saint Louis can also be rented out for any variety of events including private parties, yoga classes, and even weddings! Plus, their exhibitions are always changing, so there’s truly something new to see with each visit! They can be reached at (314) 585-0538 or by visiting their website, neonmuseumstl.com.

So, if you’re in search of a new and exciting place that’s out of the ordinary and full of the extraordinary then look no further than the Neon Museum of Saint Louis! It was an absolutely awesome way for us to spend part of our evening and for sure a place that we would revisit when alternate exhibition arrives. We had the best time and would ultimately give it a 10/10! Highly Recommend!

As always, THANK YOU so much for viewing! Feel free to leave a comment below as I LOVE reading and responding to them! I’ll return soon with another all new post, so until then, I wish you all, all the best!
