im in St. Louis constantly and grew up going every year. Had a friend who’s never been just get back from a weekend and they’ve planned another already. People that don’t go don’t really know from what I’ve seen.
St. Louis is a great city all things considered. You need at least a week to get everything done especially if you have kids. The really dangerous parts aren’t actually “downtown stl” and in areas where you’ll be. Union Station was just renovated and it’s excellent. Personally we go to St. Louis over Nashville, Memphis, and definitely Atlanta.
Hell it’s known as a destination for great hotels.
Ballpark village for atmosphere is one of the best in the nation for any sport now.
The city museum took 30 years to build and is amazing.
The pics don’t do the museum justice. It’s like 5 floors of tunnels, massive animals made of iron or wood that you walk into and get lost all through the museum. Everything done by hand. It’s been Called the Disneyland of playgrounds. There’s a 4 floor slide in it that is pretty insane. I can’t do half of what’s on the top floor because it’s wild. Never seen a place for kids like it.
I think the atmosphere of St. Louis and the historical nature to the city makes it one of the best. And the traffic isn’t god awful
