What is closed in St. Louis this Friday?

All federal buildings will be closed, but not sure about the Arch. It is under National Park Service. I know that the St. Louis Science Center will be open, as my daughter works there. They have a new space exhibit and Harry Potter is showing in the Omnimax. I also think the zoo will be open, as well as Six Flags. Restaurants on the Hill and Ted Drewes...enough to keep you busy!

St. Louis was a great three day trip! I highly recommend it. Here is my report.

I got a standard size car (yellow mustang) for three days from Hertz with AAA discount and coupon total was $48.00.

I stayed at the Grand Hyatt St. Louis which is lovely for $48 a night on Priceline. It is a renovated train station. Staff was quite friendly. It is connected to a small mall. Quite convenient.

I spent the first day on the Anhauser-Busch Tour (free tour and free bear).

I went to Ted Drewes for Frozen Yogurt known as "concrete." It was tasty, but not served upside down as advertised.

I ate at Phil's barbeque. Friendly staff, but mediocre barbeque.

Saturday, I went to Forest Park. Fantastic! In the park is the St. Louis Zoo, History Museum, Art Museum, Science Center. Free admission and free parking!

Sunday, I went to the sculpture park. Sculptures everywhere and, again, free.

I also went to the Meramac Caverns. They were pretty nice, but the tour guide was new and could not answer questions. The price was about $12.00

Went to the top of the Arch and saw the film about how the Arch was built. Price: $12.00. Well worth it.

enjoylife,

Glad you had a good time in StL. Too bad the barbecue was lame - you have to go to KC for good barbecue I think. Ted Drewes rarely gives me my custard upside down either. I hope it was crowded while you were there. It's much more fun when it's crowded!
