Must see St. Louis attractions.
I’m planning a trip to the Midwest this spring. We will be not too far from St. Louis and thought we could spend a day there. What are some must see attractions for someone who has a day to spend? We’ll have kids ages 6 and 4.

St. Louis Zoo and The Arch. The zoo admission is free and it's a fantastic zoo.
If you do decide to visit the arch, the best thing to do is get tickets in advance particulary if you'll be here on a weekend.
Your family will enjoy!

As usual....aragx6 has hit the nail on the head. The Dog and Transportation museums are cool too. Union Station is worth checking out too. Be sure to check out the grand hall and the whispering arches.
Ted Drewes, on the old route 66 is a great place to get frozen custard too.

Actually the Butterfly House is in Chesterfield. But it is a great suggestion: MBG: The Butterfly House - Home
