What is fun that my friends and I can do during the summer in Saint Louis?|132725

We just want something to do that would be fun, like today we went to Grant_s Farm then tomorrow we are going to the Zoo. What else is fun to do in Saint Louis?

There are tons of things to do in the STL area! Okay so you have done Grant_s Farm and the Zoo also try the History Museum (yep it can be cool), science center (the new super hero thing is great for all ages), and of course the City Museum (not a museum at all you can run and be a kid no matter what age you are, they have caves, HUGE slides and more check out their website!). Of course there is Six Flags and Raging Rivers which are in the area and can be a lot of fun. Can get expensive sometimes. Here are some other things to do in the area:
America_s Incredible Pizza Company, new I have never been there but, it is indoors they have go karts, mini golf and more. They have a website just google them.
Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site, if you have never been here it is way cool! Also free which is a good thing! They have a lot of specail events so you will want to check out their website. They have 1 or 2 Pow Wows a year which are really neat!
Circus Flora, went to this last year very cool not your average circus and pretty cheap here is what I found for 2007, again check their site:
St. Louis_ own intimate one-ring theatre circus, where no audience member is more than 40 ft. from the center of the ring. Performs every summer in the Grand Center arts and entertainment district. 2007 schedule, June 7 - 24.
Gateway Arch-Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, who could leave out the Arch! Even if you live here it is still cool to go see! I try to go once a year and I bet the views of the new stadium are really cool!
Go See the Cards Play, need not say more here!
We also have 2 minor league teams that are REALLY CHEAP to go too the most expensive ticket is like $8 and the cheapest like $4 also cheap drinks and eats. Check out the River City Rascals or the Gateway Grizzlies. There are a few day and early games. They have a ton of night games too!
Historic Aircraft Restoration Museum, this plave is cool! I did not even know we had a place like this hear. You can see all kinds of planes, learn more about flying and see planes that are being restored. Who knew we had this???
Kemp Auto Museum, if you like cars this place is for you, I had a good time walking around, not as much fun as the guys but, they do have some really cool cars here!
Lewis _ Clark State Historic Site, ok this is in IL but about 15-20 mins from STL very cool new just opened a few years ago and is free! They have a lot of hands on stuff here and I hate to say it but I did learn a lot. Very neat place.
Lone Elk Park, I just love going here, first of all they have wild elk and buffalo that roam the park. YOu will just be driving a long and bam there they are. They also have great programs throughout the summer and the Bird Sancutary people are usually there with some birds of pray. They give demos and all kinds of things. You can also hike, and do other things again free doesn_t get much better than that!
Meramec Caverns, okay this is a day trip but, wow it really is a lot of fun! Missouri has some really great caves, all of them that I have been to have been great! Meramec is fun and this year they are doing a flashlight tour which I bet is really cool! Well worth your money there are other things to do in the area around Meremac....good floating in the area! If you have not been to the cave you will be amazed!
Hey speaking of that take a day trip up to Hanibel there is a ton of stuff to do there, there is the lake,caves, Mark Twain stuff and more. Good place to get away and cheap!
Missouri Botanical Garden, if you have never been here it is really cool and there is something for everyone. They did a lot of updates to the place over the winter. They also have a lot of events that go on here so you will want to check out their webstie for more details.
Union Station is always fun, there are shops and resturants there. Plus the place has been wonderfully restored. If you go to customer service they will give you a self guided tour book that shows off different things in the station. Hard Rock Cafe is also located here which always has good food!
Wabash Frisco _ Pacific Steam Railway, if you have never done this it is a lot of fun for all ages. You get to take a 2 mile mini train trip around the river. The train is smaller than the zoo train, but a lot of fun! Really neat views of the river and the people that run it are very nice and give a great tour. Cost a whole $3 well worth it!
Well I hope this helps you, we have so much to do in the city and the surronding areas I could go on and on here is a great website that I use even though I live here to get more info. It has everything from resturants to attractions!
