St Louis is a city that is has to be one of our favourite destinations. A beautiful city with the largest city park in the country, Forest Park, and a fantastic assortment of museums, restaurants and monuments. Forest park is the centre of everything and it is impossible to stay without being drawn into it. The Gateway Arch is a great monument, and even though it looks bizarre you need to take the Elevator / Cable Car ride to the top and get an unbelievable view of the city. The major problem with the city is finding enough time to see everything. The St Louis Zoo is listed as one of the top 5 in the country, the Missouri Botanical Gardens is a peaceful haven of beauty, while the Science Centre has a great selection of hands-on adventure and learning. And then there is the City Museum. Don’t get put off by the name, the St Louis City Museum is one of the most fun places of learning in the country. With mazes, experiments and movies, this is perfect for young and young at heart. Two main events in the city is the phenomenal 4th of July celebrations and the superb Greater St Louis Renaissance Fair. Both will leave you with tourist satisfaction and tonnes of quality photos.

St. Louis is an awesome place to visit, anytime of year. I have a lot of family there so I go a few times a year and LOVE it. Hopefully I will able to move there one day.
