If you've ever wanted to climb in that ball pit with the kids, or jump on the giant slide, only to be foiled by the attendant next to the 'kids only' sign, this is the place for you. Kids and adults are allowed on the slides, ball pits, tunnels and ladders.
The tunnels will fit a small-to average adults, although if you're tall or broad you might not be able to get into all of the play areas. There are also alternative walkways for those who are not so keen on climbing and sliding.
Watch out for unsupervised kids, though, as there are usually a few cutting in line, jumping on slides before the landing area is cleared, and picking on smaller kids in the ball pit. While there are a few attendants around, they don't usually step in unless someone's going to get hurt, so watch your kids if you don't want them to get bullied.

The Saint Louis Art Museum located in Forest Park in St. Louis has more than 100 galleries. The building was designed by architect Cass Gilbert as the Palace of Fine Arts for the 1904 World's Fair in Forest Park. Standing atop Art Hill, it is the "crown" jewel" of the 1,370-acre park. This museum seems to go one forever-room after room! Admission is FREE! This is not an art gallery...certainly there are many paintings and drawings to see...but, there are many artifacts dating back thousands of years. There truly is something for everyone here. I wouldn't recommend this for small, tired children. I would do this first-with the promise of the zoo to follow! We found this to be very interesting-the building alone is worth going into. http://www.slfp.com/ForestParkAM.htm

The Missouri Botanical Gardens is one of the most beautiful places in the city. The plants are amazing, and the Japanese garden is gorgeous. They often have differnt events for the family. The current one is a glass exhibit with Dale Chihuly (an amaing glass blower). Great place for weddings, but a little expensive. The ticket prices are a little high, but well worth it for a day of strolling around looking at the beautiful flowers. It is cheaper if you are a member or live in the city. School trips in the school year can make it a little croweded. If you can go for a night time exhibit I reccomend it, the gardens are beautiful lit at night.

The Laumeier sculpture park is so nice! It is so well taken care of and it is fun to walk around. They have trails that lead to wooded areas, and plain paved trails with gentle inclines. There is a childrens section as well with fun sculptures that have seen many a child climb upon them. It is a great place to take a stroll with a loved one.

I have a 2 year old who is obsessed with trains and this is definitely the place he wanted to go. He climbed on them, played in them, and had the time of his life. Then, they have an exploration center that's out of this world, where the kids make crafts. I think he liked this as much as the trains!!!

Another one of St. Louis’ treasures. The Soulard market brings the country right into the city, so you can get the best of both worlds. The food and shopping is wonderful. Not to mention the atmosphere is just so great. On a summer Saturday morning with all the hustle and bustle, it just makes you adore the city.

My son, who is 2 is obsessed with trains and this is definitely the place he wanted to go. He climbed on them, played in them, and had the time of his life. It was Thomas the Tank Engine times 100!!

Johnny Mac's is a great place in St. Lousi to go when you need sports equipment. I played soccer for over 15 years and they always had what I needed. They have always been where I get my soccer shoes and other needs like shorts, shin guards, socks, etc. They have a great selection as well.
I know they have supplies for all types of sports so check them out if you are looking for a place to shop for sports.

We always have a great time at Tee Time. The concessions inside are affordable and delicious, the indoor games are a blast, the bumper cars and boats and loads of fun, and the mini golf is one of the best in the area!

This is the epitome of what I expect a bowling alley to be. Lots of lane, not too much character. The staff was friendly, and it wasn't overly crowded on a Saturday afternoon so that was nice. They had a good selection of balls and the prices were better than some of the other bowling alleys I have been to in the area. It smells a little smoky, but I guess that's pretty much expected in a bowling alley in St. Louis. I would return for a fun time bowling.
