The St Louis zoo is free. Enjoy! :)
Will be hitting Indianapolis, IN (already have plans for this one) and Branson MO on our way to Plano TX then ST Louis on our way back to MI.
Any must see suggestions in Branson (1 day) or St Louis (2 days) that are kid friendly? Kids are 5 & 6.5
City Museum was a blast- would do that again
The Zoo was pretty but would probably not do that again
The St Louis zoo is free. Enjoy! :)
I grew up in Kansas and all my extended family is in Missouri, so I've been to all the tourist spots. Silver Dollar City in Branson is a must, your kids are the PERFECT ages! (its a small amusement park), also there is a waterpark if your kids are good swimmers. Also check out Fantastic caverns, a ride through cave that is so so cool. There are also caves outside of St Louis that are great and are kind of a "Missouri speciality" Have a great time!
St. Louis has a great interactive science museum and a great zoo, just outside of town. The kids will like to look at the city atop the arch. Also, the riverboat ride might be enjoyable for kids that age.
St. Louis: the Gateway Arch and the City Museum are 2 things that come to mind. But here's a good site with lots of stuff that would be fun.
