Things To Do
Missouri Botanical Garden
One of our favorite places to go in St. Louis and the perfect place for a relaxing and scenic walk. Tickets are $16/person, but you will not be disappointed.
Saint Louis Zoo
A free, fun and family friendly experience. Our favorite animals are the sea lions, the penguins and the red panda. Open 9-5 everyday!
Anheuser-Busch St. Louis Brewery
Stop by for a tour of the brewery (which often includes a complimentary pour) and learn about the history of the Anheuser-Busch and the brewing process.
Forest Park
The most beautiful city park, in our completely unbiased opinions, with so many different walking paths. See the linked map below. Note: the St. Louis Zoo and St. Louis Art Museums are contained within the park.
The Tower Grove Farmers' Market
A Saturday morning favorite — fresh flowers, local vendors, and the sound of live music drifting through Tower Grove Park. It’s the perfect spot for a slow morning and a taste of local life.
Gateway Arch National Park
A St. Louis classic. Take a trip to the top of the Arch, and get an unforgettable view of the city!

Located in the heart of Forest Park, this stunning museum offers a mix of classic and contemporary art — plus some of the best park views in the city. Ideal for a quiet, beautiful stroll before dinner or brunch nearby.
