We toured Forest Park while on the trail of some fabulously placed "letterboxes". The park is beautiful and clean with bike and running paths. We ended our tour at a wonderful restaurant, "The Boathouse" and really enjoyed our day in the park. Amazing that such a great place is FREE and open to the public. I look forward to visiting... more

I am a life long resident of St. Louis and have to say that in my humble opinion Forest Park and all that it has to offer needs to be higher on the list. I am at the park at least twice a week all year long. Here's just some of what you can do at this St. Louis treasure:... more

We traveled with a two year old and we played on the playground, went to turtle park and rented a boat. We loved it. It seems really crowded during the day but reasonable in the evenings. Boat house dining was packed at 6pm. Buildings, pavillions, fountains and the grand basin are beautiful! Jewel Box was nice, but didn't take us... more

During my first visit to St. Louis, I had some time to kill and decided to check out an area called Forest Park, which is on the near West-side of the city. I took the MetroLink train to a station right next to the park and was pleasantly surprised that it appeared that all of the attractions within the park... more

Forest Park is one of the nations great "city" parks. It rivals NYC's Central Park not only in ageless beauty, but also in things to do. The Art Museum, Zoo, Ice Rink, and many other attractions are laced with history, and all are within the parks boundaries. I've bicycled around this park many times, and walked its paths. It never... more

Nice Park to stroll in - in fact, its probably the one St.Louis puts most money into. Right by the medical school campus. It has lots of bridges and ponds. A smooth and lenghty bike path. You can stroll over to the zoo, which is free. Or have a barbeque in the summer. Nice for jogging. Too many geese, though.... more

We had a tour information book that was from 2002 when we were planning our vacation. We were excited to take the Meto Link from downtown near our hotel to Forest Park. It was clean, fairly easy to figure out and we thought we wouldn't have to deal with traffic and parking. What we found out when we arrived at... more
