Beautiful park in the heart of STL with lots of trails for walking or biking (favorite spot for walking is the Kennedy Savannah). You can rent a canoe or paddle boat at the Boat house and explore the waterways of the park (followed by lunch at the boat house if you please). The Zoo, Art Museum, Science Center and History Museum are all in the park and are FREE! We love the Art Museum (and had our first date there <3).
Super fun and quirky play place for kids in downtown STL. One of our favorite places to recommend for families.
If you're looking for a fancy-ish dinner that is delicious this is our favorite restaurant! Reservations are a good idea (usually booked ahead), but you can always show up at 5 as the patio is reservation free and you can sometimes nab a seat.
A great spot for breakfast or lunch!
Another great lunch spot
