Things to Do
Anheuser-Busch St. Louis Brewery
Fun fact: the Brewery Lights was our first official date in December of 2022! The historic Anheuser-Busch Brewery holds a special place in our heart. We love it so much, we moved into the neighborhood (Benton Park)! The tours are free, and excellent...and you get free beer!
Forest Park
This 1300 acre park is bigger than Central Park in NYC and served as the centerpiece for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition (the 1904 World's Fair) and the 1904 Summer Olympics.
Forest Park contains five major world-class institutions, all of which are FREE! These include the Saint Louis Art Museum, Missouri History Museum, Saint Louis Zoo, the Muny (America's oldest and largest outdoor musical theater), and the Saint Louis Science Center. There are also 30 miles of beautiful walking and recreation trails.
City Museum
A truly unique part of St. Louis, this massive, whimsical, and interactive architectural playground was created out of the reclaimed scraps and industrial history of the city.
A fun and unique experience that is great for kids and adults to explore! (Yes, there is a bar!)
The Hill Neighborhood
St. Louis's Italian neighborhood - there are many great options for dinner and some of the best Italian food in the country! Recommended spots include Anthonino's for food and Milo's for Bocce and a great patio experience, but you can't go wrong with any restaurant.
Gateway Arch National Park
If you're not afraid of heights, going up into the arch is quite the experience! There is also a museum and visitor center at the base, and access to the historic Old Courthouse, famously where the Dred Scott Case was heard in 1857.
Ballpark Village
Although the Cardinals will be away, Ballpark village is a great place to catch the away games!
Venice Café
A fun and funky place to grab drinks, one of Mitch and Katie's neighborhood favorites. Be sure to bring cash and look out for the turtles in the basement!
