Known for its famous large jungle gym, 10-story spiral slide, and a rooftop garden it's not going to take much to make this place rank in the top 10. My family and I love going to visit the City Museum a few times every year and every time we go it's like a new experience. Although it's getting a bit tough for my girls to climb on the jungle gym, we still find fun ways to entertain ourselves.

The museum is located in what used to be an old shoe factory in Downtown St. Louis. It's been open for over 25 years has over 29,000 artifacts, and is hours and hours of fun and exploring.

Other museums on the list include two from Illinois (Chicgoa Children's Museum & the Kohl Children's Museum), The Children's Museum of Indianapolis, Children's Museum of Denver at Marsico Campus among others.

You have until Monday, February 10 to vote with the winners officially announced on February 19th.

LOOK: 50 famous memes and what they mean

With the infinite number of memes scattered across the internet, it's hard to keep track. Just when you've grasped the meaning of one hilarious meme, it has already become old news and replaced by something equally as enigmatic. Online forums like Tumblr, Twitter, 4chan, and Reddit are responsible for a majority of meme infections, and with the constant posting and sharing, finding the source of an original meme is easier said than done. Stacker hunted through internet resources, pop culture publications, and databases like Know Your Meme to find 50 different memes and what they mean. While the almost self-replicating nature of these vague symbols can get exhausting, memes in their essence can also bring people closer together—as long as they have internet access.
