Among the 100 parks i was able to have a visit on one of the significant park in the city, that is the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, a National Memorial located on the riverfront in downtown St. Louis.
St. Louis is well- known as the home of three professional sports teams: the St. Louis Cardinals, one of the most successful Major League Baseball clubs; the hockey St. Louis Blues, and the football St. Louis Rams
St Louis is a very interesting City. It has huge and very tall unique architectural buildings which are very good subject for Photography. There are lots of things to do here. If you have time you can visit the Museums: The Black World History Museum; Bowling Hall of Fame and Museum etc
St. Joseph, Missouri, located on the banks of the Missouri River, has a plethora of historical sites to see, making it a perfect destination on a family summer road trip or even if you're headed somewhere else, it's a great place if you would like to stop somewhere interesting for the evening.Besides the Jesse James & Pony Express Museums (see my other tips), there are also, all within the same general area, two statues and a great neighborhood of old, beautifully restored homes.
i cry every time i come here because i end up finding myself in front of one of van gogh's paintings. they have a huge collection of contemporary, asian, african, pre-columbian and islamic paintings and photography. you could easily spend a few hours here.
It was actually 1,446 items that the patient swallowed. They died during surgery. Why would the doctors save these items in the first place? Maybe they could foresee that one day there would be a museum to put them in.
The Arch in St. Louis is as symbolic of the city as the Eifel tower is of Paris, the statute of Liberty of New York, or the Space Needle of Seatle. The Arch is part of an urban National park, the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial Park, signifying the the City's role in U.S. history after the Louisina purchase and being the gateway to the west. The arch is an archictural gem, and as the sun reflects of its graceful curves, it is enjoyable to photograph, or to take the tram to the top of the arch and view the city and the Mississipi river. Besides the arch, you can view a movie of the Louis and Clark expedition, and see the old St. Louis courthouse.
If you are travelling through St. Louis than you must visit the Indian Pyramids located 30 minutes away in Cahokia, Illinois. These earthen structures and ceremonial vistas are very impressive and the Monk's Mound is one of the largest of its kind in the world. This is a cultural heritage site that must not be missed.
The James S. McDonnell Planetarium is one of the nation's leading space-education facilities, focusing on astronomy, space sciences, and aviation. It opened in 1963 and became part of the Saint Louis Science Center in 1983. After extensive renovations between 1983 and 1984, it reopened in 1985.The main feature of the planetarium is the 80-foot (24-meter) dome where 9,000 stars and planets are projected in shows every half-hour. Eclipses, meteor showers, and other celestial phenomena can be projected onto the dome. Visitors can also see how the night sky looked 10,000 years ago, and how it will appear 10,000 years from now.Also popular is the Boeing Space Station, where visitors can learn what it is like to live and work on the International Space Station. The planetarium has two levels of displays that illustrate the history and future of space exploration.
The Saint Louis Science Center features more than 500 interactive and hands-on exhibits covering such topics as the human senses, computers, flight, space, building, mining, medicine, weather, and prehistoric times. The museum is housed in four main buildings: the Main Building (pictured here), the James S. McDonnell Planetarium, the Exploradome, and the Taylor Community Science Resource Center. The Saint Louis Science Center has been named one of the top five science centers in the United States by the Association of Science and Technology Centers.The museum was founded in 1959 as the Museum of Science and Natural History by an organization called the Academy of Science of Saint Louis. It was originally located in suburban Clayton. In 1983, the museum was expanded to include the James S. McDonnell Planetarium, and the entire operation moved to its present site in Forest Park. It opened...
