Stretching some 1,300 acres, Forest Park is approximately 500 acres larger than Central Park. In 1904, the Louisiana Purchase Exposition drew more than 19 million visitors from around the world to the urban oasis, and today, it encompasses world-class institutions, including the Saint Louis Art Museum, Missouri History Museum, Saint Louis Science Center and The Muny, which also keep people coming back.
