Anheuser-Busch Brewery Tour

On the brewery tour you not only get to see how and where AB products are made, you also get to see the Clydesdale stables and at the end, you get FREE BEER. I'll say that again: FREE BEER. Admission is also free.

Broadway Oyster Bar

Bar in the shadow of Busch Stadium. Great patio and cool atmosphere.

City Museum

GREAT place if you have kids to entertain, and still pretty cool if you don't. The City Museum is an eclectic mixture of children's playground, funhouse, surrealistic pavilion, and architectural marvel made out of unique, found objects.

Website

Forest Park

At 1,293 acres, Forest Park is over 50% larger than New York's Central Park. In it are the Zoo, Histoy Museum, Art Muesum, and Science Center-- all of which offer FREE admission. It's also got lot of cool paths to walk around on. This is where Dan proposed to Erin.

Website

Gateway Arch

The Gateway arch is both 630 feet tall and wide. Most famoulsy, Clark Griswold would not let his family go up in it in the movie Vacation. You can go up in it though and get a great view of the city. The Museum of Westward Expansion is at the bottom of the Arch. Admission to the museum is free, but there is a charge to go to the top of the Arch.

Grant's Farm

Compliments of Anheuser-Busch, Inc., this Busch family estate was once owned by Ulysses S. Grant. Animal shows, petting area and a tram ride through the wildlife preserve. It's about a 15 minute drive from downtown, but worth it, especially if you have kids. They also offer FREE admission and FREE BEER!

The Original St. Louis Style Pizza. Erin hates it, Dan loves it. Help us settle the debate. Note that not all locations have seating.
