St. Louis Day Trip Ideas
Situated in a great area on the banks of the Mississippi River, there is no shortage of day trips from St. Louis to get you acquainted with the area and keep you entertained.
Sightseeing
The Gateway Arch is an iconic symbol of St. Louis you simply must see on your visit. While there, make sure you don’t miss a walk through the Gateway Arch National Park. A few other historical sights to see in the area include the Basilica of St. Louis, King of France and the Old Courthouse, both of which are within walking distance of the Arch.
City Museum
Using items found throughout St. Louis like old chimneys, bridges, and even 2 planes, artist Bob Cassilly built a museum appreciated by the young and old alike that is sure to inspire your creativity. Take the day to explore this urban playground and appreciate the beauty in its construction. When a museum sells knee pads in the gift shop, you know it’s going to be a good one.
Missouri Botanical Garden
A National Historic Landmark, the Missouri Botanical Garden is the oldest botanical garden in the country—in continuous operation since its inception in 1859. Here you’ll find 79 acres of gardens, including a Japanese garden, and a notably large collection of orchids that are rare and endangered.
