We are going to be in St. Louis mid April and I need to know where to take two teenagers that are spoiled by living in California. Please let me know what is best to see for a 13 and 15 year old. thanks!

You could try getting tickets to a Cardinals game, they're a lot of fun!The brewery (Busch) has a nice tour...and a great gift shop. They keep the clydesdales there, and the brewery campus is really large.
The arch is pretty impressive, you can take a trip inside to the top. You might look into tours of the Rams practice facility, I've been there and it's interesting.
Hope that helps!

The Magic House in Kirkwood is really fun & interesting. Also a trip to the St. Louis Zoo would be enjoyable.

Grant's Farm and the St. Louis Zoo are a must do. Forest Park botanical gardens. The Science Center in Forest Park now has the Titanic exhibit...I'm not sure for how long. You have to take them to the Fox Theatre on Grand (don't mess around in that neigborhood though). If you are there during the summer months, go to the Muny (also in Forest Park) to see an outdoor broadway play. Union Station would be a fun place to stay and shop. I love St. Louis.

I imagine you've already traveled to St. Louis. I just returned from 4 days at a conference. Very scary to walk around the Conference Center-even in the daylight. Hotels were all second rate, old and worn - Very little to do -and unless you crave Italian food - good restaurants are few and far between. Went to "The Hill" and "West Central End". Tried the rotating restaurant atop the Millieum Hotel-charged me $18 for a veggie plate. One bright spot-the people were great-friendly and helpful. The city needs major makeover.

There is a Six Flags amusement park just west of St. Louis. There is also a water park associated with the park, so you can have your choice or do both. Took my teenagers there last year, first time there, & they really enjoyed it. Also, on the Illinois side, just east of St.Louis is the Cahokia Indian mound Site. There is a museum there also, teenagers might be kindof bored by it, mine enjoyed it. They can also climb the 100's of steps to the top of the main mound.

Sara is right. If you're a fan of Frank Lloyd Wright, a trip to Oak Park is a must. Instead of the el though, I'd take the Netra Suburban train from the Union Pacific Northwest station. That el goes through some funky neighborhoods.

Sorry, wrong thread. Not sure how that happened. Btw, Go Cubs.

I find people in STL have an attitude. Who needs that. Go Cubs!
