Things To Do
Papa Vito's Pizza
An old school pizza joint with limited seating and a grumpy cook (but the best pizza around)
Shorty's Smokehouse
BBQ in the heart of Waterloo. Get there for lunch- they run out quick!
Stubborn German Brewing Company
Take your BBQ to go and get a beer at Stubborn German next door. We went here on our first date!
Tower Grove Park
Go for a stroll in one of STL's awesome green spaces. Kimberly took Moo for daily walks in this park for two years while she and Jacob lived nearby. Tower Grove Park runs alongside South Grand Ave, which has lots of delicious eats.
City Museum
Basically a playground for adults and kids alike. Crazy architecture, 10 story high slides, and plenty of places to get lost. This is one of those weird places you won't want to miss. It's a guaranteed blast for all ages. We recommend tennis shoes.
Up-Down STL
The best barcade in St. Louis. Located in the middle of the beautiful Central West End neighborhood, next door to plenty of yummy restaurants and bars. This is one of our favorite places to go for a fun, affordable evening.
Forest Park
The biggest green space in St. Louis (1,300 acres)! Forest Park was recently named the country's #1 city park by USA Today. The St. Louis Zoo, art museum, history museum, and more are all located in Forest Park (most of which are free). If this is your first time to St. Louis, we highly recommend checking it out!
Missouri Botanical Garden
Get lost while strolling through the botanical garden. Once you've worked up an appetite, you can check out one of the many nearby bars and restaurants.
Armory STL
The newly opened Armory STL is the biggest bar in St. Louis, with plenty of food, drink, and games.
