Entertainment & Activities
What can I say... it's the home of the 11 time World Championship St. Louis Cardinals franchise. Pro tip: Go to the box office with a any state provided ID at least 2 hours before the night/day of a game and ask for "First Pitch Tickets". Try to get them early because they only sell around 300 of them. You will receive a voucher for two tickets for only $11.20. Warning: depending on seat availability or the popularity of the game you may only get standing room only tickets but again you get 2 people into the game for $11.20. There are stipulations on the voucher so read it carefully (like the voucher purchaser must be present at game time with their state ID). Enjoy the game!

This eclectic destination is a bit an amusement park, art installation, playground, museum, and maze all rolled into one venue. Fun for kids and adults alike you can't go wrong by spending an afternoon of day at the City Museum. If you have kids it's a good way to drain their energy and knock them out for the rest of the day. Pro tip: I'm not germ phobic and I bring hand sanitizer because there is a lot of hand interaction with objects in the facility. They have food and beverages there but I think you can bring food in with you. More info can be found here: http://www.citymuseum.org/
