What are the best family activities in St. Louis?

St. Louis is only a four-hour drive from where my family and I live, and we’re thinking of taking a weekend trip to explore. What are some good activities for families to do?

From catching a Cards game at Busch Stadium to trying out all the rides at Six Flags, St. Louis is a blast for any age! If you’re looking for more ideas, here are the best family activities in
St. Louis
:
  • Gateway Arch: As the iconic symbol of St. Louis, the Gateway Arch has plenty to do—including riverboat cruises, a museum, a cafe, beautiful grounds, and of course the tram to the top of the Arch!
  • St. Louis Zoo: This zoo has been chosen as America’s top free attraction and the country’s best zoo. From its 6,600 diverse animals to its 15 elaborate exhibits and education centers, this zoo is a can’t-miss.
  • City Museum: Four floors of twisting tunnels, caves, a circus, an arts area, a climbing space, a Ferris wheel, and countless interactive installations—and that only scratches the surface of the never-ending fun you can find here!
  • Grant’s Farm: On the grounds of President Ulysses S. Grant’s former home, Grant’s Farm has a little something for the whole family, including animal shows, a Biergarten, a petting zoo, and a tram ride through the wildlife preserve.
