La La Land Mommy: 12 Places I Would Love To Visit In St. Louis
Summer vacation will be upon us sooner than you think. For my family and I we have less than a week. This means most of the country will be going on vacation. Now vacation for many folks means a great place where you can sit on the beach and enjoy the ocean. I am always down for this. I mean who wouldn’t. But I also have a bucket list of places I would love to visit that aren’t so close to the ocean as well. One place that comes to mind for me is St. Louis. I have increasingly become interested in visiting St. Louis because of a certain show I have seen on television. They have this restaurant that I would love to visit. But besides this restaurant I have found through a little research that St. Louis has some other great places to offer that would making visiting great. Before I get into these great places I want to thank Explore St. Louis for sponsoring this post. To find out what my family and I could do in St. Louis for fun I headed to the Explore St. Louis site. I compiled a list of things that I knew would interest my family. I’m going to share this list and explain why I think that we would love it.
- The Gateway Arch: This is the first place that I think my family and I would love to visit. This arch is 630 feet tall. It gives an amazing view from the top. This fits in with the beautiful views we see when we go hiking. We love things like this. Here is an example of one of the views we have seen while hiking. I wonder what we would see at the top of the Gateway Arch.

- Six Flags St. Louis: We have been to Six Flags here in Georgia numerous times. It is a must that we visit the one in St. Louis to compare the two. I just want to know how different they are. We love the one down here.

- Saint Louis Zoo: We are a family of animal lovers. So it is only right that we visit the zoo. I don’t think any two zoos are exactly a like. You get different experiences from each of them. My son is the biggest animal lover of them all. This would be perfect for him.

- Forest Park: This puts us in the middle of St. Louis. It is one of the largest urban parks in the United states. It has been around since 1904. From the pictures I’ve seen it is absolutely beautiful. We are surrounded by a lot of great tourist attractions. Such as the Art Museum, Zoo, and Science Center. It is similar to Centennial Park here in Georgia
- City Museum: This Museum is one of the top places on my list to visit. I think that it is so cool that the entire park is made from recycled material. Kids and adults a like can have fun. I think I would be all over the place in this museum. I actually wish Georgia had a place like this for my family and I to visit.
- Saint Louis Science Center: My kids love science. The Saint Louis Science Center would be right up their alley. They love to learn about why things are the way they are. I love to see their eyes light up when they get to learn. It is even better when they get to actually touch some things.
- Meramec Caverns: These caverns go right with our outside lifestyle. We have been loving the outdoors lately. I would love to explore this underground cavern.

- The Old Courthouse: We would visit here because we love history and learning. This would be a perfect stop for us. The Old Courthouse is where the Dred Scott case was held. I think this would be fun.
- Missouri History Museum: We love museums. Again it’s another opportunity to learn. I believe each museum offers something different. I love just learning about history and seeing great things.
- Museum of Transportation: I have never heard of this museum until now. This sounds like an amazing place. I am sure my kids would love to learn about the different forms of transportation. I also love how affordable the entry fee is. You can see over 300 pieces of transportation once you enter. I think my son would love this.
- The Eugene Field House And St. Louis Toy Museum: This is again connected to our love of history. I think this is more for me than anything. I just would love to see the history of toys.
- The World Aquarium: Did I mention how we love animals? This visit wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the aquarium. No matter where we are we love seeing underwater creatures. So this a stop we would have to make on our trip.

Thanks for reading. Glad you have a great time when you visit.
This is a great list. I have never been to St. Louis so this round up is definitely helpful. Love that you included an aquarium because I always find them intriguing.
I love aquariums. I think it wouldn’t be a great trip without one.
I will be honest I never even thought to visit St.Louis like that. Only thing I am familar with is the arches…so thanks for expanding more on what to do in this city!
I never have either. I honestly only ever wanted to go to visit Sweetie Pies. Now have more reasons.
I had no idea St. Louis had so many different things to offer. There is something to do for every interest!! Perhaps I will get a chance to visit someday and experience them for myself!
? thanks for reading.
Yeah I am hoping to make it out there one day myself.
I’ve never considered St. Louis but now you’ve got my wheels turning! Thanks for sharing these suggestions!

It looks like it would be a great vacation cause they have so much to do.
I was supposed to go to St. Louis a few years ago, but it got cancelled because of a snowstorm. I think it’d be better to go in warm weather. Didn’t know they had a big aquarium. I would love to visit the arch and go on the Anheuser-Busch Brewery Tour.
I never thought of the brewery. I’m going to have to add that to my list as well.
My husband and I’ve been to St. Louis once during the Winter as teenagers. We went to the zoo of all places. It’s the simple things. It’d love to go back with the kids to see the arch, city museum, and forest park. I think I need to make that happen this summer.

Oh wow! It would be awesome to go back with your kids. I want to make this trip before my kids get too much older.
We’ve never been to St. Louis. All of us love the zoo so stopping there is a no-brainer. Thanks for the list of places.
Thanks for reading
I know we would definitely hit up the zoo. Both my kids love animals.
This is a helpful list. I haven’t being to St.Louis but I definitely want to visit one day.

Me too. I hope it happens for my family soon.
I’ve never been to St. Louis but it seems like there are many great things being offered!
? thanks
The zoo and the aquarium would be on my list! I love animals! Hubs not so much haha. But we do it for the baby!
The things we do for our kids. Thanks
These all sound like great spots to visit. I had no idea there was so much to see in St. Louis!

My daughter and her husband used to live in St. Louis and they have been to all of these places. Another great place is City Garden. Lots of water features for the kids and different food trucks almost every day. Also, the Fountain on Locust is a great old fashioned soda fountain. Tower Grove Park has a lot of fun festivals and it’s really nice to walk around in.
(Aww) I really want to visit now.
First of all, your kids are adorable posing for mom’s picture! Second, we are always looking for American cities to visit, this is a lot of great info for me when we plan our next trip!
thanks,
Mitch

The arch is definitely a must-see. I didn’t know about Forest Park. I think that would be an amazing stop.
Yes sound good
I have never been to St Louis. This is a great list for anyone that might be a first time visitor.
Yes I totally agree. I would try to squeeze all these places into one visit.
Six Flags would be a huge one for me. Would love to visit! Never been to St Louis myself but think it would be a blast to visit all these places!
Six Flags is huge on my list to. I want to compare it to the one down here.
I’ve never been in a place out of my country. St Louis will be a nice place to stay.
Yes it does, thanks for reading
I haven’t been beyond the states surrounding my state. I hope to expand my horizon soon.
We like going to zoos.
And six flags is another great idea for a little fun!
These two places are definitely near the top of my list.
Looks like so much fun. My kids have a age gap, so finding activities for the whole family is a concern. With so many options, we’re certain to find fun.
Crystal recently posted…Chocolate Protein Iced Coffee
Yeah even with my kids being close it is hard to find things that interest everyone. Main thing they agree on is animals. Ha ha ha!
I would love to visit St. Louis myself. The St. Louis Zoo is also on my bucket list.

I have a sick obsession over zoos. Love them.
I have never been to St. Louis, but these sound like some great places to visit. I am definitely adding this to my travel bucket list.
St. Louis has so much to offer!! I have been to several and have to say that the zoo and the City Museum top my list.
I’ve only driven through St. Louis but have not done only sightseeing. I would love to go to the places you mentioned. Will keep this list and hope a trip will follow!
Thanks I appreciate that
These are all great places to go when visiting St. Louis. I would love to start at the Six Flags in St. Louis
This is perfect, I have a planned vacation streak and part of hits St.Louis. This makes it easy to plan out our destinations, I’m excited to go to their forest park, I love places like that.
I know the area looks so beautiful
Your choices match ones I’d like to visit. It’s been too long since I’ve been to St Louis. I’d really enjoy the Meramec Cavern.
Great list of places to visit in St Louis! I love to explore new cities it is always so much fun to do!
Thanks for reading
St. Louis has so much more than most people give it credit for. I would love to take the kids to see the World Aquarium.

After doing research I totally agree. It was fun to see what they had to offer.
St. Louis is never a place you think about for a vacation, but it looks like it would be so much fun! Maybe one day we’ll get there.

There are so many places I want to go. Thanks for reading.
St. Louis is full of such history! It looks like you had a wonderful visit. I hope to be able to get there before too long!
I’m ready to visit. The 8 hour drive might be worth it.
? thanks for reading the article.
I haven’t been there yet. I just dream of visiting.
St. Louis seems to offer a lot of fun places and activities for its residents and visitors. I would love to visit that iconic gateway arch! The museums are also must-visit places for me. I always make sure I visit one whenever I travel someplace.
Yes, it is a fun place to visit. The museums are a must visit for me too. Although I don’t always have the money to get into one.
I love seeing what other states have to offer. Everything is so different.
We have been on the Arch and it is pretty cool! You can’t be claustrophobic because when you go up it, you go up and very small roller coaster type elevator (like when a roller coaster is going up a hill!
OMG you get to go up. I thought it was only for looking. Now I’m jealous.
Jealous is me HAHA I love that type of stuff.
I am so jealous! I hope to see it one day. It is nice to hear such positive things from someone who has actually been up there.
What a great list of places. My husband and I were just talking about places to visit and St Louis came up.
That is so awesome! I think it might be a great place for families.
I have always wanted to visit St. Louis. It looks like such a great place to visit. and lots of fun!
I agree. I honestly think my family and I would have an absolute blast there.
This is a great list. I heard plenty of great things about St. Louis. It’s time to visit this place.
I would love to visit just to see the Arch
? thanks for reading it.
St. Louis is a place I have wanted to visit for a while now. I love the list of place that you can visit in St. Louis which makes me want to visit there more. Thanks for sharing the list.
I hope to visit soon too.
Yes I never knew how much they had to offer until I did research for this article.
It would be fun to go to all of these places and I will if I ever make it there. I’d start with the zoo and then move on to the world aquarium. 6 Flags would be awesome too.
I would pretty much go in the exact order of my list. I would definitely need a few days.
I have never been to St. Louis before. The first place I would go if I went there, would be to the Gateway Arch. I’ve always wanted to see that. I think it would be neat to be able to see.
I want to do that too. I bet the view is beautiful.
I’ve never been to STL and I would love to go one day!! Great post!!
Thanks I hope visit soon.
I have always want to go to six flags but there aren’t any here in Canada!
One day that’s for sure… I would love to visit st. louis one day.
You should come down visit both Six Flags and St. Louis both offer great options for spending time with your family.
For me Six Flags is to expensive however if I can get in free I’m there LOL
I’ve never been to St. Louis. Sounds like some great places to visit. Also, did you know a few of the pictures you chose are pixelated?
Yes I know. Thank you for telling me. I appreciate you doing that.
My boy friend is from St Louis and we go back to visit from time to time. So far, I’ve only really had a chance to visit the zoo. Our trips are normally packed with family time.
Family time is just the greatest invention ever I love when me and mine get a car and just drive
It sounds fun. Thanks for telling me about it.
I haven’t ever been to St Louis. It sounds like a fun place to visit. I want to go hiking.

That was a great article thanks for posting it
I don’t think I have ever been to St. Louis, maybe as a kiddo though. These places looks like great places to visit.
I would love to go visit just to see the arch up close & in person
Yes the places to look great when I was doing research I fell in love with the city and I’ve never been there
I would just love to ride through the neighborhoods there.
We’ve never been to St. Louis. All of us love most of the items on your list! Thanks for the great list!
Your welcome. It should be fun for you and your family.
You’re so welcome. I appreciate you stopping by.
I just want to go shopping there. I don’t approve the 8.6% tax though.
I have yet to go to St Louis…I’ll have to go there one day to check out the 12 hotspots you’ve suggested.

I’ve never been to St. Louis yet, but I certainly would love to visit someday. I always see the gateway arch on TV during baseball games, and I really would like to see it in person.

The family & I love to travel only in states that we can reach by car so I don’t know if st. Louis will ever be in the cards however if I’m bold enough to get on the plane I will
I definitely want to visit the Gateway Arch it looks so cool.
St. Louis have a lot to offer to people visiting the area! And all of these places look interesting!
Thank you for the information and I might visit St. Louis at some point.
St. Louis was already on my travel wish list, but you opened my eyes to a few more reasons to want to visit!
The least expensive aquarium that I have found was in Tennessee we loved it. We bought a family pass at all, it was great. We went 4 times, we live in Georgia so you can imagine a two-hour trip each time.
Yes there are so many reasons to visit. I hope we get to visit soon.
Thanks for reading.
