Things to do in St. Louis

St. Louis grew up where the Missouri River meets the Mississippi, and it still carries itself like the river capital it once was: brick neighborhoods, old breweries and a skyline anchored by Eero Saarinen’s Gateway Arch. The economy is broader than many visitors expect. Washington University and BJC HealthCare make the region a major center for medicine and research, Boeing builds military aircraft at its plant beside Lambert, and companies such as Enterprise Mobility, Edward Jones, Centene and Emerson keep their headquarters in the metro area, many of them clustered in suburban Clayton.

    Larger than Central Park, Forest Park holds the Saint Louis Art Museum, the Saint Louis Zoo, the Missouri History Museum and the Saint Louis Science Center, with free general admission at all four.

  3. 03

    Missouri Botanical Garden

    One of the oldest botanical gardens in the country, it is known for the Climatron geodesic-dome conservatory and one of the largest Japanese gardens in North America.

  4. 04

    City Museum

    Housed in a former shoe warehouse downtown, this playground for all ages is built from salvaged architectural pieces, with caves, slides, tunnels and a rooftop Ferris wheel.
