Grant's Farm required reservations in the past so you may want to check. The Magic House in Kirkwood is great for kids. Duey's (spelling ?) Pizza is just down the street from the Magic house and is a great place to eat. The st Louis Zoo is really nice and was free the last time we were there, it is in the Forrest Park area the site of the Worlds Fair many many years ago. The Butterfly house is in a Park that is also in the West county area. The Ameristar Casino in St Charles is one of our favorite casinos, the food is very good in all of their restaurants and the fountain in the entry lobby is amazing. Downtown old St Charles is pretty neat as well. The Arch is amazing, you can ride up to the top but there is usually a very long wait.

Good call. Its actually "Deweys" which is also in NKY and Cincy. If you've not had it try it. I'm partial to the Bronx Bomber pizza.
