What travelers are saying
- Rose BLaguna Hills, CA35 contributionsPro: The subterranean entrance is hidden when approaching from the river side. Reasonably priced and great experience. Quick ride to the top in the pod. Great view! Bathrooms very clean.
Con: If trying to buy combination tickets to both the Arch and river boat, then verify the river boat time when planning.
The pods have 5 seats in each. It is an extremely small pod and very tight quarters. It is only for 3 minutes or so up and same on the way down but if you are claustrophobic think twice before buying your ticket. There is a sample pod near the ticket booth so take a look first.Written March 11, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Everyone in our family, from age 3 to 60, had a blast. This is a must for any family visit to St Louis.Written February 9, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jessica KTarpon Springs, FL762 contributionsWe went to the zoo not expecting to see much as it was our last day in Missouri and it was only 26 degrees. But we had time to kill and why not? It is a free zoo, but there is a $10 parking charge. Wow! Pleasantly surprised at how many animals were out and about - and the enclosures are so well laid out and seemingly right up close. The penguins are a raucous group - so close you can almost touch them (not allowed btw). Seeing the tigers running around and playing was a delight. I would love to come back. Definitely one of the better zoos I’ve been to!Written January 5, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Diane ElamColumbia, MO292 contributionsThis place is a must see while in St. Louis! There is always a lot to see and do! While it involves a lot of walking, the paths are easy to navigate. There are multiple different gardens throughout the property and they always have the prettiest flowers. The multitude of water lilies were the highlight of my last visit!!Written October 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- deidre b24 contributionsI can’t say enough good things about Flo, our experienced guide. My 7 year old grandson and I, along with another couple were the only visitors on our tour. She brought the history lesson alive! Well versed and she made my grandson feel so special. He asked lots of questions and she answered them all. When it came time to groom Rizzo, Keith gave excellent guidance. It was an amazing experience. The Clydesdales are very handsome horses. Enormous in height and weight, they weren’t shy today! 10/10 highly recommend.Written November 22, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- John RossilloNew York City, NY237 contributionsWalking in this Cathedral and seeing the architectural work of art will leave you in awe. Words are hard to describe the Masterpiece this cathedral is. I have seen many cathedrals throughout Europe, and this one is as spectacular as the ones I have seen in Europe. A cathedral synthesized by the Byzantine and Romanesque design. It is displayed all through the cathedral as one will see color, light, arches, mosaics and domes. One will be amazed seeing how the dedication of the church is displayed in the artwork. The cathedral is dedicated to the Victorious Christ and Saint Louis IX, King of France and the patron saint of the City. The impressive Mosaics are completed with over 42 Million pieces of glass. It is heartwarming to learn that the Cathedral was visited by Pope John Paul in January of 1999. This cathedral should be a must see for anyone visiting the city - NO matter your religion.Written February 24, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Claudette CWashington2,798 contributionsThis is my third visit to this stadium and I noticed that it is more rundown than I remember. 2 of the people in our party had broken seats. Everyone was very nice. Food lines were long, service slow but food fantasticWritten December 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Joanne F4 contributionsThis Forest park is 1300 acre gem with free attractions like zoo, art museum, and science center.

- Dave CIllinois1,925 contributionsFree museum that covers three floors of exhibits. We saw everything - and it took between 5 and 6 hours!. I'd suggest starting on the lowest floor and seeing various period rooms, then go to the 3rd floor (which is the smallest area), then close on the 2nd floor (which is where you enter). There's a cafe inside with a variety of lunch choices. There are quite a few volunteers that are helpful. We covered close to five miles in the building along with the sculpture garden. It is easy to skip a section that is of lesser interest. There is a very wide variety of art.Written January 31, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Cello12345Urbana, IL816 contributionsWe were there all day, and didn't have time to do everything. Our 6 year old was fascinated! This is a children's museum on steroids. A good mix of action, creative play, and intellectual exercise. When it became obvious that we'd be there until closing time, we ordered some lunch from the onsite Picnic Basket Cafe. They did a great job, and the choices of food satisfied our entire party, including vegetarian and low inflammation diets.Written November 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
