St Louis Recommendations

[Lebby]

I'm planning an upcoming trip to St. Louis and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations.

The Arch is worth a stop. Take the tram inside the arch for a fantastic long range view Make reservations well in advance at Tickets. Have lunch at the Paddlewheel Cafe on the riverfront below the arch. Take a one hour cruise on a Mississippi River paddleboat there, too with Riverboat cruises. If you like that kind of thing, the St. Louis Zoo is one of the best around. Not as good as the Bronx or Smithsonian, but still pretty good. Concerts and plays at the Muny Opera in Forest Park (where the zoo is, by the way) are always enjoyable . . . look at https://www.forestparkforever.org/calendar for the schedule. Grant's Farm is the farm owned and operated by President Ulysses S. Grant, and now owned by Anheuser-Busch and is well worth a visit. BTW: It is used as one of the breeding locations for the famous Budweiser Clydesdales.

Hope this helps, Phil. Have a good trip.
