All of the best things I did during my trip to St. Louis

items This list is probably going to be on the shorter side because we only spent 4 days there but in those 4 days, I was convinced to come back!

Who knew St. Louis is a museum city? And that a lot of those museums are free?
If you do one thing you have to pay for in St. Louis, it should be this. I had the absolute best time here!!! You can see the absolute chaos it is from the above photos but that’s just scratching the surface. A few things this place has: a giant whal...
City Museum
This is free yall!!! The museum is super interesting and gives you a comprehensive timeline of how this city started to build itself. If you wanna do the ride to the top, that’s the part that cost, I think, ~$19 a person but that part is also worth i...
Museum at the Gateway Arch
The entire Forest Park area is a great place to hang out in St. Louis and it’s also full of museums! This is another free one, yall. And it’s an outstanding one at that! I couldn’t believe all that is kept here and the spaciousness of the building. W...
Saint Louis Art Museum
In the words of DJ Khaled, another one. And by that I mean, another free thing to do! St Louis zoo brands themselves as the World’s Best and I would say that it’s pretty comparable to other major city zoos I’ve been to without the price tag.
Saint Louis Zoo
Are you also a spooky bish? Head here for a fun ghost tour or even just a chill drink at the bar! The tours are a little pricy but worth it! If you can, also head down the street and check out the abandoned Lemp Brewery (DO NOT GO IN IT) to marvel at...
Lemp Mansion
Can you believe it? Another free museum! This is actually connected to a second building that’s technically a different art museum by a courtyard. You can probably get through these two in about 3ish hours total if you’re thorough!
Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis
Restaurants
We also might’ve eaten at a few tourist traps I didn’t mention here 😅
Good eats and you can see where the beer is made! I had an excellent passion fruit sour but there are a lot of beer offerings. You could always do a flight if you’re indecisive!
The Schlafly Tap Room
This place has a lot of hype around it and honestly for great reason! This is probably the best bbq I’ve ever had! We were dumb tourists but we got super lucky; this place will just close up if they run out of food which happens daily. We juuuuuust s...
Pappy's Smokehouse
Omg one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had! If you’re a coffee drinker, you’ve gotta try the orzata. It is outside of the city center and a bit away from everything else but worth the uber
egg
They have very creative rolls and the fish is super fresh! They are on the bit more expensive side but you really can’t expect low prices on fish in the Midwest.
