What to do in St. Louis, MO? |
Travel Info My husband are visiting St. Louis in April. We like outdoors-y stuff, culture, bratwursts, and don't drink, party, etc. We will be staying for 5 days and are on a tight budget. Thanks. Travel Tips There's a bunch of places that I would reccommend: 1. Take in a game or a tour at the New Busch Stadium www.stlcardinals.com -The Cardinals have a lot of history in the city and Busch has an awesome reputation for being some of the most educated and respected fans in sports Plus they have cheap seats with some of the best views of the ballpark and the city. Take the metrolink to the ballpark as parking has become a pain. 2. The Zoo in Forest Park- One of the best zoos in the country and it's free. The Rivers Edge exhibit is relatively new and overall the zoo tells a lot about St. Louis history. www.stlzoo.org 3. The Missouri Botannical Gardens always has a lot of different festivals and events going on. It is one of the most underrated attractions in St. Louis. 4. Main Street Saint Charles is a good place if you like history. It has a lot of shops and restaurants and is near the Missouri River where Louis and Clark began their exploration. www.mainstreetsaintcharles.com 5. The Arch has a museum of the region's history and if you go up in the elevator you can see the whole downtown skyline. www.gatewayarch.com/arch 6. I know you said that you and your husband don't drink but consider going on a brewery tour of Anheuser Busch. You see the whole process and the Clydesdales they use for commercials. This plays a lot into the history of the city and the impact it has had on our region. www.budweisertours.com 7. Forest Park has a bunch of museums for different types of culture. I know they have the Art Museum, the Muny, and the History museum. Check that out. 8. Union Station is nice if you like shopping and the history aspect is interesting. They have a lot of restaurants there as well. www.stlouisunionstation.com Have a good trip and I hope these help out your itinerary. Others A good site to check out is www.explorestlouis.com There is lots to do here that's cheap and free. Here's some things I would recommend. 1. The St. Louis Zoo 2. The Art Museum 3. Missouri Botanical Gardens 4.The Old Courthouse 5.The Gateway Arch *Some of these are free, some require paying for parking, but they are are reasonably priced. http://www.explorestlouis.com/uniquelyst... http://travel.yahoo.com/p-travelguide-28... stlzoo.org You can check out the farms. see ya. There is a six flags there, or actually just outside of there. Don't know how much it is, you might want to look up the web site. I'd suggest seeing a Cards game at the new Busch Stadium.
