Whether you’re local or living somewhere else in the States, if you have only read about or seen St. Louis from afar and you have the time and money you ought to get out there and see this place for yourself. Don’t even think about it another second. Pack some things, book the flight, turn on the ADT home security and get ready because I have a list of the best things to see and do in St. Louis starting with…

The Gateway Arch – This stainless steel monument reaches up into the sky and you can’t really walk anywhere in the city without seeing it. The structure and sheer magnitude of it is absolutely overwhelming and standing under it while it looms overhead is something you have to experience for yourself.

The Saint Louis Zoo – Nowhere else will you find a bigger assortment of rare and exotic creatures for you to enjoy. And there is something always going on with new and rare zoo babies awakening into this world each and every year.

I could spend all day talking about St. Louis and you could spend all day reading about itor you could hit the road and see it for yourself.
