Saint Louis Information

St. Louis, Missouri is the largest city in the state and is located on the eastern side of Missouri, just before crossing into Illinois. The city was named after King Louis IX of France and is known as “The Gateway to the West” because it was the last major stop before the pioneers went westward to the Pacific. This is symbolized by the most iconic structure in the city, the Gateway Arch, which is located right on the banks of the Mississippi River.

There are endless things to do to fill your time in St. Louis. The historic city is laid out beautifully with many historical buildings and attractions. A must is to visit the Gateway Arch, which is the nation’s tallest national monument and you can ride up a unique elevator to look over the city and the Mississippi River from the top. There’s also the beautiful Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis and the Old Courthouse, famous for the Dred Scott Case in 1846, which are must-see historical buildings in St. Louis. The city has a great collection of museums as well in the City Museum, Missouri Civil War Museum, the Missouri History Museum and the Saint Louis Art Museum. For more fun, check out the St. Louis Zoo, one of the best in the nation, Six Flags St. Louis theme park or catch a St. Louis Cardinals baseball game at Busch Stadium or a St. Louis Blues hockey game at the Scottrade Center. St. Louis is also home to “The Fabulous” Fox Theater that has been open since 1929 where you can see concerts and performances as well as take tours. The Anheuser-Busch brewery also resides in St. Louis and you can take a free tour with free beer samples for those over 21. It’s one of the world’s largest breweries and bottling factories and you can see the beloved Clydesdale horses on the tour as well.

Located 80 miles south of St. Louis is the Arcadia Valley area where you can take a great day trip that immerses you in the beautiful natural side of Missouri. Arcadia Valley is home to some of the best state parks in Missouri including Elephant Rocks State Park that houses billion-year-old granite boulders and Johnson’s Shut-Ins State Park along the Black River. If you want to get out of the city, this is a great option for a day trip where you can enjoy hiking on trails and overlooking the beautiful scenery or even spend a night at one of the parks camping.
