Agree. My only complaint was the night we went they had a band and it was VERY echo/loud in there. Very good place though.
3 day, winter trip to St. Louis, experience or ideas?

A couple of my favorite restaurants are Peacemaker (po’boys and oysters), cafe Napoli, almost anything on The Hill, Paul Manno’s and Citizen Kane’s.
Union Station also has a Polar Express experience. Not sure what it all entails but my sister and her family just were there yesterday and my young nephews loved it.
For me, multiple places in the Central West end were great pre-Pandemic. Some are closed, relocated. Chase Park Plaza is a cool hotel to stay at and good location to a lot of the areas mentioned in this thread.
Union Station is fun to stay at and a must for the kiddos now after the renovation. Neat place.

I’m not sure what the place is called nuts it like the “Botanical Gardens” or whatever and they have a pretty cool Christmas light show/festive experiences thing going on.
We didn't do elaborate vacas when I was a kid, but we did hit St. Louis for Six Flaggs one year and we did the Budweiser tour, got to sit in the carriage with the Clydesdales, I'm sure it was on dad's list for the free beer but I remember it to this day. Those horses were the size of dinosaurs to me back then.
We went years ago around 4th of July. It was hot AF and the a/c was out in our car so it was windows down the whole way there and back. We did the Bud tour, Grants Farm, the Arch and Six Flags and had a lot of fun but that ride was hell.
We went in 1979. I'm certain the old stationwagon didn't even have A/C and the four of us kids were climbing all over those seats unbuckled the entire way.
We did the STL Polar Express experience last year and the kids loved it. They reenact scenes from the movie, punch the kids initials on the tickets, give out hot chocolate and cookies, and Santa walks through the train car on the way back to Union Station. Highly recommended!

I was in town about 3 years ago for a Blues hockey game and we went to this museum. I really enjoyed it.
Also a trip to Fitz Root Beer is a fun place to eat in University City. That Delmar loop area is kind of fun to walk around with some little local shops and stuff. They make all kinds of fun craft sodas, not just root beer
How old are your kids? The City Museum is amazing and will keep them busy all day and they will be exhausted.
She's almost 3. Is that place mainly outdoors? That's what the pictures looked like but sometimes hard to tell.
It's mostly indoors but at age 3 I'd wait a couple years. Lots of climbing ect.
It is really cool, definitely recommend. Has a cool skybridge over the interstate with windows you can see the traffic whiz by. Great planetarium as well. Lots of live demonstrations too that kids like.
