Yes, we do this. St. Louisans love the Arch. However, the ride to the top involves long lines, a ride in a very small pod, and crowded, jockeying for window space. Worth it for most, but might be less fun for those who cannot stand long, walk far, big/tall.

Food Scene
Landmark location in The Loop. Just a great street for strolling, nightlife, dining, boutique shopping. See the St Louis Walk of Fame. (Fun and funny since many of those celebrities notoriously hated St. Louis and call somewhere else home.)

The only boat I know.
The boats are very popular, and much like land casinos, they offer a wide array of entertainment options, and they have their own vibe.

The original bread company. This means a lot to us since we don't eat Panera around these parts. Landmark locale in beautiful Central West End. Dining, galleries, not as much for nightlife. Walkable for a good walker.

This our library. On Wednesday, there is free produce pick up. They give you a ton of free, fresh food, and it is worth it because it is even fresher than the grocery stores.

Very welcoming local church with deep roots in the community. During the pandemic, they've begun parking lot services, so you can get a walk and a word.

This place is packed every weekend. I've never been, but I've seen the crowds: 30ish, working folks from Normandy. I've never seen police, or any problems in the lot. Seems like fun...

You're going to see an hour long line outside this place, often. Give it a try on the rare occasion that there is no line.
