For those of ya'll from there or have visited, any advice on things to do?

We're going to the Cards/Cubs game Friday, definitely gonna see the Arch, and spend Memorial Day at the Fairmont betting on the ponies, but not sure what we are doing during the day tomorrow and Friday. She has family from there so we'll get input from them, but anyone else have any recommendations?

Be wary of all the construction going on around the Arch right now. I've heard people say recently that some cap drivers aren't driving all the way to it because the routese changes daily from the construction. Still should go see it though, just plan appropriately.

There are a TON of good local craft breweries. If that's what you're into, there are a group of them relatively close together downtown and other spread out throughout the city.

Forest Park is really cool to check out and just walk around. There is a museum in there, but I've never been to it. Same with the zoo there.

More kid friendly stuff would be things like City Museum downtown, Magic House in Kirkwood, or the Science Center by Forest Park.

There are wineries near the city too, but unless that's something you're gung ho about, I wouldnt worry about that.

I'm actually doing the same thing with my lady friend on Friday. We're driving up from New Orleans. We are planning to try out The Shaved Duck before heading to Busch. Might check out the Arch Saturday morning before heading to Chicago.
