Saint Louis Travel Guide

 21 Reviews  One of the finest zoos in the country-in fact rated in top 10. It is free to the open areas, and nominal charges for kid's section, special attractions and train rides; all no more than $5. The zoo covers about 200 acres and been in operation over 100 years, when it started after the 1904 World's... 

 11 Reviews  Downtown is the place to catch a river boat ride, on a boat like the ones they had here before trains & cars. The Mississippi River carried freight and people, including slaves, in great quantities back then. Photos of the river shore with about 50 paddlewheels lined up, as they were called, are... 

 21 Reviews  A well done job transformed an old and useless train station in a commercial complex. The old style was preserved, and all the area was embellished. The big lake is refreshing, and, when I went there, a live demonstration of fisherman without hooks showed the kids the behaviour of fish in the wild.... 

 13 Reviews  This small enclosed glass structure is amazing inside--but it today (Aug 2011) has many fewer plants, and most are trees. Something happened, probably ran out of funds to support the maintenance, so today it is used a lot for paid events and weddings. It used to hold a lot of treasures and walk... 

 11 Reviews  A cultural reference to most people in the entire world, this mythic river showed me the emptiness of downtown. Two closed boat (during the day), one in each side, were transformed in casinos, waiting for the nightly visitors. I crossed the bridge (which allows me to tell my friends that I... 

 10 Reviews  Grant's farm is an amazing place where the family can take an outdoor afternoon to walk around and enjoy the grounds. There are performing acts at certain stages along the way to enjoy. There are animal acts.The grounds also have petting areas, and farm animals to get with. You get around by taking... 

 17 Reviews  In contrast with the straight skyscrapers that surround it, this classical building composes, with the arch in the background the best sight of town (all the photographers around it will agree with me!). The garden and fountain are also very well integrated in the whole. 

 23 Reviews  At the end of the tour, you are delivered to the "Hospitality Room", where you are offered free pretzels and beer. The bar at the back had about 20 beers on tap, and you are allowed to sample two. (There were three guys there who each went back more than twice - I think as long as you aren't getting... 

 12 Reviews  This is located off Shaw Blvd, just south of Hwy 40/64 and Forest Park in the Tower Grove area. It is a nice visit, but not as many places/stops were open as they used to be. In fact about 1/2 were closed, or part of administrative facilities. The park features various displays of flowers and... 

 8 Reviews  The old historical port was invaded by restaurants and bars, becoming the meeting point downtown. It’s a good preserving work, in a small area, which makes it easy to have a general look, and shortens the walk in the irregular cobblestone pavements. Of course, we had dinner there for a couple of... 

 10 Reviews  This is a very nice art display of works of art in an elegant and dignified stone monument in Forest Park. The building if from the 1904 World's Fair, and was then Palace of Fine Arts. They have a variety mix of art; mostly paintings, that span Old European, American from early inception to modern... 

 8 Reviews  Since there was no title on the VT as to Ted Drewes Frozen Custard, then we decided to use the description as "NEIGHBORHOOD"...I guess you could call it as such! As we were telling friends from Shawnee, Kansas that we were passing by St. Louis, Mo. There was one big suggestion from them from their... 

 10 Reviews  Once I calmed down from my ordeal ascending the arch, I was able to walk thru this museum. As part of the National Park Service, the museum is FREE and very very interesting. Taxidermied buffalo, longhorn steer, horse, and other indigenous animals were fascinating to the children, and several... 

 7 Reviews  The City Museum is one of St. Louis' most interesting attractions. Local artists have taken recycled materials to create a museum out of the old Brown Shoe factory. The museum is more of a gigantic playground with slides and tunnels going every direction. Some tunnels even run underneath the floor.... 

 6 Reviews  After finding the centre of town somewhat cold and empty, this is where the city seems to live. I could only see it under the strong sun, but understood the promises for the mild nights. It surely deserved some more time, that I couldn’t dedicate. 

 5 Reviews  Great local custard shop to cool you off during the humid St. Louis summer. Two locations in the city. Definately a can't miss on any trip here. Need proof; just take a look at all the Ted Drewes hats signed by celebrities that have stoped by. 

 2 Reviews  The concept is great, the "old Part" of the city but once again, St. Louis sucks at urban development. We find the place run down and dirty. It is a shame, if we had urban visionaries, this coudl be a great destination. Pack your bags and head out at night. The younger drunken crowd arrives and...
