Established as a fur-trading post by French settlers in 1764, considered the \u201cGateway to the West\u201d for the Lewis and Clark Expedition, and now a major tourist destination in Missouri, St. Louis<\/a> offers a neat slice of American history. It\u2019s also lovingly referenced by some “B” words: blues, barbecue, baseball and beer.<\/p>\n

Yet there\u2019s far more to this city hugging the Mississippi River. From its signature Gateway Arch to Anheuser-Busch, to historic firsts and free things to do, St. Louis can surprise visitors as a jam-packed activity destination. Here are 10 things every visitor to St. Louis must do \u2014 at least one time.<\/p>\n

Visit the Gateway Arch<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As the city’s most popular attraction, the Arch is an obvious choice to kick off your St. Louis adventure. While some call it the St. Louis Arch, this modern marvel is officially named the Gateway Arch. It\u2019s also gotten some spiffy new features and better visitor accessibility. As part of a nearly five-year, $380 million renovation project, the stainless steel icon now welcomes surrounding biking and walking pathways and a new visitors center that can be approached via a greenway. Inside the center, the new Museum of the Gateway Arch<\/strong> (formerly the Museum of Westward Expansion) offers vibrant exhibits on St. Louis and explorations of the American West. Naturally, a ride to the top is a must.<\/p>\n

Drink Up at the Anheuser-Busch Plant<\/strong><\/h2>\n

St. Louis has a sudsy legacy that can be seen and sipped. Founded in 1852 by German immigrants Eberhard Anheuser and Adolphus Busch, Anheuser-Busch still brews and packages beer at their plant in the Soulard neighborhood. Behind-the-scenes tours<\/a> at this brewery delve into the company\u2019s past (including three National Historic Landmark buildings and Clydesdale horse stables) and observe present-day operations. Beer tastings are also, naturally, part of the experience (for visitors age 21 and up). Order a drink and meal within their Biergarten or nab a gift shop souvie for beer enthusiasts back home.<\/p>\n

Beef up on Barbecue<\/strong><\/h2>\n

St. Louis barbecue involves a sweet and savory tomato-based sauce and, among other meaty choices, burnt ends. For starters, Bogart\u2019s Smokehouse<\/strong> has best picks ranging from ribs and burnt ends and deviled egg potato salad. Sugarfire Smoke House<\/strong> has a counter line setup for picking up ribs, pulled pork, turkey or specialties such as their chicken biscuit or bourbon flavored milkshakes. Salt + Smoke<\/strong> draws crowds for its BBQ and bourbon; popular ops extend to their white cheddar cracker mac, fried chicken skins and two-side combos. And at Pappy\u2019s Smokehouse<\/strong>, pair your order with their deep fried corn.<\/p>\n

Eat Your Heart Out<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Not a fan of ‘cue? In the Italian enclave The Hill, toasted ravioli is debated to have come from either Charlie Gitto\u2019s<\/strong> or Mama\u2019s on the Hill<\/strong>. Nonetheless, these lightly breaded, deep fried pillows stuffed with meat and sprinkled with a cheese topping can be ordered in many restaurants here. Then there\u2019s the gooey cake. Its backstory: A baker messed up on making coffee cakes and got a sweetly flat dessert \u2014 and it sold! Go to Gooey Louie<\/strong> or the caf\u00e9 chain Park Avenue Coffee<\/strong>, which serves the tasty treat in multiple flavors. Order frozen custard (known locally as \u201cconcretes\u201d) at Ted Drewes Frozen Custard<\/strong>, a longstanding institution. Save room to dish out for St. Louis style pizza \u2014 a flat, crisp pie covered with provel cheese at Imo\u2019s<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Forest Park<\/p><\/div>\n

Get Lost in the Forest<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A public park since 1876, Forest Park<\/strong> is actually bigger than NYC\u2019s Central Park by 450 acres (it has 1,300 in total). It was the grounds for the 1904 World\u2019s Fair (formally known as the Louisiana Purchase Exposition), which introduced the world to the turnstile, ice cream cone, peanut butter, iced tea and cotton candy. Today, Forest Park holds five cultural institutions \u2014 Missouri History Museum<\/strong>, Saint<\/strong> Louis Zoo<\/strong>, Saint Louis Science Center<\/strong>, Saint Louis Art Museum<\/strong> and The Muny<\/strong>, the country\u2019s largest outdoor theater. Bonus: They all have free admission!<\/p>\n

Discover Civil Rights<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Old St. Louis County Courthouse<\/strong> was where Dred Scott sued for his freedom (which he won) before this historic slavery verdict was appealed and went to the U.S. Supreme Court. See exhibition spaces such as the room where Scott\u2019s case was heard. Find a statue of Scott and his wife, Harriet, in front of the building.<\/p>\n

Marvel at Museums<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Among St. Louis attractions, City Museum<\/strong> is probably the most unique. Started by sculptor\/artist Bob Cassilly, this museum inside a defunct shoe factory is part fun house featuring multiple floors with various themes and found objects for exploring and Instagramming. Outside, there\u2019s a jungle gym that kids of all ages (including adults) can cross bridges or plop into ball pits. The World Chess Hall of Fame<\/strong> hosts exhibits relating to this strategic game. The green thumbed will delight in the Missouri Botanical Garden<\/strong>, noted for its horticultural displays and research.<\/p>\n

\"\"

National Blues Museum<\/p><\/div>\n

Music to Your Ears<\/strong><\/h2>\n

St. Louis\u2019 ties to the blues come from the genre migrating north from the Mississippi Delta, but also mingling with ragtime and further evolving in sound. The National Blues Museum<\/strong> honors this legacy through a chronology of photographs, videos and recordings. Speaking of ragtime, musician Scott Joplin jammed in St. Louis; see where he lived at the Scott Joplin House State Historic Site<\/strong>. Listen to live music within the Blues Triangle, at Beale on Broadway<\/strong> or BB\u2019s Jazz<\/strong>, Blues and Soups<\/strong>. Or head to The Loop to Blueberry Hill<\/strong>, with its Duck Room<\/strong> hosting weekly live acts; native son Chuck Berry played here regularly.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Ballpark Village<\/p><\/div>\n

Super Sporty<\/strong><\/h2>\n

So what if the Rams aren\u2019t playing football in St. Louis anymore? This city\u2019s got other team sports. As one of the National League’s original baseball teams (then called the Browns), the Cardinals play at downtown Busch Stadium<\/strong>; tours are available. Even post-season or during an away game, dine at its adjacent Ballpark Village<\/strong>, a complex of restaurants ranging from Cardinals Nation<\/strong> to the sushi-centered Drunken Fish<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Rolling In<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While getting around St. Louis on the MetroLink transit system, consider that St. Louis Union Station<\/strong> once served as the world\u2019s biggest train station from the turn of the century through the late seventies. A National Historic Landmark, the building is still grand and now the location for the St. Louis Union Station Hotel<\/a><\/strong>. The building will welcome the St. Louis Aquarium in fall 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
