Going for Easter. Kids are driving age. Just looking for any must see/do. Probably hitting the arch.

The Hill for Italian food.

Forest Park is really nice. Huge park with a museum, science center and zoo. All free of charge. The science center is geared for kids probably younger than yours though.

Ted Drewes Frozen Custard.

Go to the city museum, it is an abandoned high risebuilding that looks like they took some talented welders, gave them supplies and mushrooms and told them to have fun building stuff for kids. Big slides through floors, cave system underground, welded hoops high on the air holding up all kinds of stuff that you can crawl through, over and around.

Kids loved it, adults loved it, they serve beer. What is not to enjoy.

Broadway Oyster Bar (if there is a home game). Try an Imo's pizza (polarizing with the provel cheese). Stay in Clayton, downtown kind of sucks.

Good point, we stayed downtown for a long weekend and most of the restaurants were closed for the weekend

City Museum is fun but will likely be packed. The Arch and museum is good too. The tour of Busch Stadium and their museum is also good. Zoo is also good.

BOB is a cool place on Saturdays. They have live music out in the covered area, it's a fun time.

Prepare to be disappointed in Imo's.

Agree on Clayton. For adults at least, it was a nice place to just chill and have a mini bar crawl.

Do the Budweiser tour, even if you don't like the beer it's neat.

Cards are out of town, so you might as well not stay downtown other than to see - the arch, Busch stadium area, or Broadway oyster bar, and city museum.

The Hill is a great area to eat.

Most of the focus should be on forest park and walk about or go to the Zoo. Grants farm is a close second.

If this is your first time, Downtown when the cards are out of town is nothing. When they are in town, downtown looks like a completely different city.

Arch is cool, but I prefer union station and the Ferris wheeel.
