Things To Do
City Museum
Behind The Last Hotel. This is a St. Louis highlight for sure, an Adult playground- City Museum is a "museum" whose exhibits consist largely of repurposed architectural and industrial objects. With a bar.
Forest Park
The best Public Park! Home of biking and walking trails, The MUNY, ST. LOUIS ART MUSEUM, HISTORY MUSEUM, and other world's fair relics. Grab a bite at THE BOATHOUSE, and visit the JEWEL BOX greenhouse.
St. Louis Arch/Riverfront
It's a standard, but if the weather is nice- consider venturing down city gardens all the way to the Mississippi. The view from the top is excellent and tickets are reasonable.

We make beer here in St. Louis. This is an incredible FREE tour of the classic brewery. You may meet some Clydesdales, and end up in a Biergarten. Free Samples in the tasting room!
