Current Events > Recommend stuff to do in St Louis

(+) Yeah! (+)

wife and I were looking for somewhere to get away to for a weekend trip

criteria was within reasonable driving distance and where we havent been before, so we decided on st louis

we like food, beer, live music, arts, nature and are staying downtown near the arch

The City Museum is so good

Cardinals are away when were in town

which is for the best, dont want to be surrounded by their fans

the second best option would be if they were playing the Brewers

Arch is nice to see but isn't super exciting. And there is decent other stuff to do around there.

They have one of the best zoos in the country if you are into that sorta thing. Also free.

They have a handful of breweries the most notable of which is Anheuser Busch, which is honestly pretty cool to see even if you don't necessarily love AB beers. Schalfy is probably their second most notable brewery.

Oh and avoid the "pizza" like a plague.

Considering the zoo but we go to our local zoo a lot so it might not be the best use of our limited time. But the park as a whole seems cool

I guess there is a new aquarium that good. I've not been there yet though

---

I always find myself at the Delmar Loop whenever I go to St. Louis...

---

i remember being at a cool bar area around the cardinals stadium. might be dead though if the cardinals are away

My wife isnt drinking rn so were not particularly interested in bars that dont have some kind of hook (like a blues bar etc)

---

i agree with city museum, and i'm sure there are breweries with restaurants all over, like schlafly

---

Zoo
Science Museum
City Museum
Forest Park
Arch
Delmar Loop is fantastic
Botanical Gardens
Six Flags St. Louis if you're into that sort of thing

If you're into go karts, you could check out Gateway Kartplex on the Illinois side of the river.

Delmar Loop seems like my kind of area

H-How dare you! Imo's is delicious. I miss it so much, almost want to get someone to mail me a slice. It'll be spoiled obviously but I just want to smell it.

I don't think provel and ketchup on a cracker can spoil.

Go to the Missouri Botanical Garden. It's actually in the top 3 botanical institutions in the world. Behind London and New York. You may have to reserve tickets online though, so do it ahead of time.

Our Zoo and Art Museum are also top notch. The Science Center and Missouri History museum are lame so avoid those.

Imo's isn't terrible, but it's not in my top 5. I've lived in St. Louis for 29 years, but I think our style of pizza is barely pizza. It's like, pizza-esque. Not bad, but not what I picture when I think of ordering pizza.
