Things To Do
Six Flags Hurricane Harbor St Louis
Do we even have to describe this one?
Endangered Wolf Center
A tour of the wildlife habitats approximately and hour and a half long. You get classroom time where they talk about the animals and the preserve. You'll have to book a visit however on their website.
Lone Elk Park
A nature drive through featuring Elk and Bison. Opens at 0800 and closes at time of sunset that day.
World Bird Sanctuary
A Bird of Prey rescue and rehab, and also has some great trails to hike. Open from 0800 to 1700.
Castlewood State Park
A little out of the way, but it includes some shorter hikes, scenic overlooks, and nice river views. Great if you want outdoors but not a full expedition. Open from 0700 till and hour and a half past sunset.
Route 66 State Park
For that "Touch History and take a cool photo" vibe. Open 0700 till an hour and a half past sunset.
City Museum
This is not a museum. It's a giant climbable art-labyrinth with slides, tunnels, and weird sculptures. Best in the city, no contest. Open 1000 until 1800, except on Friday and Saturday where they're open 1000 until 2100.
Museum at the Gateway Arch
Visit the Gateway Arch, and the Gateway Arch Museum! For sure touristy, but totally worth it. Open 0900 until 1800, except on Fridays where they close at 2000.
Missouri Botanical Garden
Beautiful plants, a relaxing walk, and massive. Full of all sorts of flora. Open from 0900 until 1700.
Saint Louis Zoo
I'm told this is easily one of the best zoos. It's massive, and you can spend a whole day walking about. Open 1000 until 1600, except on Saturday and Sunday when they open at 0900. It's also FREE!
Saint Louis Science Center
Hands on and fun, even as an adult. Great if you want something to do indoors. It's open from 0930 until 1630, except on Sunday when they open at 1100. It's also FREE!
The Delmar Loop
Food, shops, walkable vibes, people-watching, and a good wander and shop location. Different stores have different hours, but most of them open around 1000.
Anheuser-Busch St. Louis Brewery
Classic St. Louis; a touch of beer and industrial industry history. Most tours include beer and food, so 18+. Times vary based on your tour reservation.
The Muny
A forrest park outdoor theatre, you might be able to catch a show here depending on the night. There are free seats, but it's a first come first serve basis. Times will vary on the performances.
