Doing zoo and city museum the next couple of days, happy to take reqs for food and such. Did the arch, I think it is something all Americans should do.

Take the kids to the science center(free)
Depending on age, take them to the magic house(like 20 each)
Twilight Tuesdays in forest park is fun and free. Pack a blanket, food, drinks, and sit out on the grass and enjoy free live music.
Rooftop 360 is a nice tourist bar. Lots of people go there to get a pic with the arch as a backdrop at night.

Food:

Evangeline’s in the central west end
Salt + smoke
Sugar fire
Grammaphone
Pops diner-delicious chicken wings.
Bing lau chop Suey-STL has the best Chinese food in America(get a St. Paul sandwich as well).
Broadway oyster bar
Imos pizza-make sure to order the toasted ravioli as well
Stl fish and chicken
Tuscano’s if you end up out in the st Charles area.

Insomnia cookies on Washington
Jilly’s cupcakes off 170(the kids and you will love their delicious cupcakes)


Edit: don’t know how I forgot Tucker’s in soulard.

We go often for my daughter’s appointments at STL Children’s. We only go downtown to go to a Cardinals or Blues game but we have really enjoyed our time in other parts of St. Louis.

In addition to the zoo and City Museum I would take the kids to Grants Farm. The Clydesdale tour there is really nice. The Children’s museum is fun for the kids and the science museum is also free.

Restaurants - We like Zia’s, 5 Star Burgers (breakfast of champions burger is delicious!), Pappy’s smokehouse, Katie’s Pizza, Fitz’s is a fun place for the kids because you can watch them make the sodas right there and you can go walk around some cute little shops.
