September 30, 201412 yr Ok, I got some good ideas regarding Kansas City, MO last week. We have a day to kill in either St. Louis or Kansas City two weeks from now... Anyone have ideas on what to do in St. Louis, besides the Arch?

September 30, 201412 yr The Hill district is nice. Old Italian neighborhood with a bunch of little restaurants. St Louis has their own style of pizza so you might do the "when in Rome" thing. Interesting pizza. I think you can take a tour of the Cardinals stadium. Gambling boats. Washington U's campus is nice to walk around.
September 30, 201412 yr Science Center, great zoo, art museum, Jewel Box (like Krohn in Cincinnati), Missouri History Museum all in Forest Park area. If you're going to Arch, also spend 45 minutes at the museum below. Anheuser-Busch still offers tours at its main brewery off I-55 a few miles south of downtown. Grant's Farm is interesting. Cahokia Mounds about 20 miles east of St. Louis is site of one of largest Indian settlements ever in North America. And don't overlook the transportation museum in Kirkwood, Mo. Lots of old trains there that kids can climb on.
September 30, 201412 yr I absolutely can not overstate how cool the St. Louis City Museum is. Well worth the price of admission.

September 30, 201412 yr I absolutely can not overstate how cool the St. Louis City Museum is. Well worth the price of admission. Is that the one underneath the Arch? If so it is pretty cool. If not I'd like to check it out. Personally I love St. Louis, one of my favorite cities.
September 30, 201412 yr They have a great zoo. And the best part is admission is free. You do have to pay about $8 to park.
September 30, 201412 yr I remember going to the St Louis "Science Museum" when I was in first grade. Also went parasailing on lake of the Ozarks. Great city.
October 1, 201412 yr They have a great zoo. And the best part is admission is free. You do have to pay about $8 to park. Park at forest park for free

October 1, 201412 yr Park at forest park for free I've done that before, but it's not always possible to find a spot to park on the street.
October 1, 201412 yr Park at forest park for free If admission is free, go ahead and pay to park. Why skimp on already good deal?
October 1, 201412 yr I was just talking with someone yesterday that highly recommended Grant's Farm. It's where the Clydesdales are raised and supposed to be very cool.
