Wished we had more time to spend on it. Unfortunately there was a commencement ceremony taking place at the park so parking was difficult. But It is definitely a must in St.Louis

I can't say enough good things about Forest Park. It is incredible and a big credit to St. Louis to have such a fine park for people to go to for FREE! There is so much to see and do, and has an excellent blend of the old and new. It is a tradition to visit the park, and my... More

The history, closeness with nature, value, and beauty of Forest Park is unmatched. There is something for everyone within the park. The Art Museum, Zoo, Science Center, History Museum, and Muni Theater are all a must see.

An old old city park and one of the cleanest in the USA. Take a free bus ride around the circle of the park and see what it has to offer: lagoons with paddleboats, art museum, lovely grounds, zoo and more. Several places to have lunch, inside or out. The bus also can take you to the Science Museum across... More
