Here are a couple of websites you can look at

http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractio..._Missouri.html
You might want to stop by the library to see if there is a St. Louis guidebook there if you don’t want to buy one. I get the impression from your past posts that you think this is a free travel agency. You don’t do much research of your own.

One must do...Go to the ARCH!
When I was there last Feb. here are a couple things we did:
- FREE ZOO (amazed by this-coming from SO CAL where nothing is free)
- The Hill- Italian area that has many wonderful restaurants and deli's
- Steak and Shake- great fast burgers
- Imo's Pizza http://www.imospizza.com/- must try the toasted ravioli, yum!
- We did Mardi Gras in Soulard but that was in Feb!
Also that link above is pretty good, I would check it out!

When you go to the arch, even if you don't want to go up, there is a museum on the floor level (I think it's free) and a large gift shop. Also don't miss the movie, they show not only about St Louis, we went to a movie about Alaska, it was great.

Depends on what you like. Options would include:
-Gateway Arch (but note that lines can be long to go up it, and the tiny elevators are not for the claustrophobic); the view is spectacular. FarinaAgain's suggestion of the museum at the foot of the Arch is a good one -- it's actually a good historic museum.
-Cathedral of St. Louis. Stunning mosaics inside.
-Anheuser-Busch Brewery Tour.
-Old Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis, and Old Courthouse. Both are close by the Arch.
-St. Louis Art Museum.
The Missouri Botanical Garden would have also been recommended, but this likely isn't the time of year for it. And agree with SiteC_er that the City Museum is a must if you've got kids.
