The St. Louis Zoo is one of the best in the country, and its FREE to the public! Its a great day to spend a few hours outside.
A great place to see the entire city from the top of the St. Louis Arch. There is a lovely museum as well for all of the history buffs! Located right on the Mississippi River, the Gateway Arch was a monumental part of history and is a fantastic place to spend a few hours getting to know the city Lindsay cherishes.
Opt for the BREW master tour for a great history lesson about STL, the best brand in beers and a behind the scenes look at the brewing process-drinks included :)
The BEST custard around.. no matter what time of year!
Grab a drink and get a 360 degree view of downtown St. Louis!
