Top 3 zoo in the country every year. The best part is it is FREE! Parking costs $15 I believe but there is free parking on Oakland across the bridge. Oakland and Childress would be the intersection to start looking for free parking.

Free to get in. They always have different exhibits that cost a small amount of money there, but it's always worth it.

Regardless of your opinion on their beer. This is such a cool tour. See some Clydesdale horses and learn about the extensive cave system under St. Louis that this brewery would deliver their beer through during prohibition. Tour used to be free but that has changed a little with Covid.

Authentic STL
Holy cow this place is wild. I don't know how to do it justice, but take whatever you know about the word museum and throw it out the window. Wear tennis shoes and athletic wear. $13 to get in I believe. $7 or something like that to get on the roof. It is worth it.
