Parkway Adventurers Group to the Soda Museum
Event Date: 04/18/2024
PUCC Adventurers at The Soda Museum & Main Street Arcada
Thursday, April 18 | 10am-1pm | 126 North Main Street, St. Charles, MO 63301
Please join the PUCC Adventurers on Thursday, April 18th, as we tour The Soda Museum & Main Street Arcada downtown St. Charles. The tour may last an hour and we’ll have time to wander around.
On November 30, 2023, The Soda Museum and Main Street Arcade opened and is devoted to more than 100 years of soft drink history and marketing and offers a selection of drinks — in glass bottles, naturally — of brands both forgotten and obscure: Moxie, Teem, Bubble Up, Brownie Root Beer, Kickapoo Joy Juice. Each bottle of Mr. Cola proclaims it is “the aristocrat of colas.”
Enjoy reminiscing about when Coke only came in a glass bottle or perhaps the advent of the first soda vending machine? A new museum in St. Charles will quench the thirst of soda enthusiasts with an immersive journey through the history of these carbonated beverages.
The museum will be split into two sections. The main floor, mezzanine and top floor will have all the soda memorabilia, while the basement will be home to a full arcade that includes dozens of classic video games, pinball machines, bowling machines, air hockey and more. The museum is accessible with a ramp at the back entrance, an elevator, and a chair lift.
Museum and Arcade Tour is $15 per person. Payment (Cash or Credit Card) due the day of the event.
Please RSVP by April 15th to Diane Tallyn (314) 910-2032 (email: diane_tallyn@hotmail.com) or Kent Tallyn (314) 303-5606. Let us know if you plan to meet at The Soda Museum or carpool from church at 9:30 a.m.
Lunch (Noon) will be at Lewis & Clark Restaurant, 217 South Main Street, St. Charles, MO 63301
