Things to Do:

There’s plenty to do in St. Louis and best of all, most of it is free!

No visit to St. Louis is complete without stopping by City Museum. It’s as close as you’re ever going to get to a real-life Willy Wonka factory, and even if you’ve been before, things change constantly. They recently renovated Gateway Arch and Museum offers stunning views of the city and rich history.  The new state-of-the-art museum underneath the Gateway Arch highlights the significant of the monumental landmark.

Taking in the great outdoors is never a bad idea whether you have kids with you or not. The St. Louis Zoo is one of the best in the country; you can see the Budweiser Clydesdales at Grant’s Farm; or you can take a leisurely stroll through the massive Missouri Botanical Garden.

Speaking of Budweiser…this is a beer city, so if you’re a self-proclaimed beer nerd, you’re going to have the time of your life. Take a tour of the Anheuser-Busch Brewery, then head to pretty much any brewery listed in the STL Brewers Guild. The big ones are Schlafly, 4 Hands, Urban Chestnut, and Side Project, but you’ll have about 70 others to choose from.

Last, but certainly not least, is catching a show while you’re in town. The Fox Theatre always has something amazing going on, but it’s the music venues that you really want to pay attention to. It really doesn’t matter what part of town you’re in: there will be a concert going on nearby. Keep your eye on the National Blues Museum downtown, or head to the Delmar Loop—between Blueberry HillDelmar Hall, and The Pageant, you won’t be disappointed.

Where to Eat:

St. Louis has quickly become one of the best food cities in the Midwest, and you should absolutely take advantage of that! What’s particularly great about it is the wide diversity of options. Whether you’re looking for Southern comfort food, unforgettable BBQ, Bosnian street foods, or James Beard-winning modern fine dining, we’ve got it.
