Always Tan

Visit one of the oldest Missouri traditions. Since 1901, the Missouri State Fair has showcased all the favorite concerts, animal exhibits and competitions, homemade crafts, shows and foods of the Show-Me State for local residents and out-of-town (or state) guests. Spend one day or all eleven days of the festival taking in the best concerts and events of the season.

Get close to nature through the floral attractions at the Powell Gardens, where the whole family can get active as well as educated. Learn about the different plants, trees, vegetables, fruits and herbs as you walk through the gatehouse, perennial garden, harvest garden and more. Sneak in some exercise along the scenic Nature Trail or relax as the kids play in the interactive Fountain Garden.

Bring the whole family over to Science City at Union Station for an unforgettable experience. This family-friendly interactive science center hosts over 50 hands-on displays and attractions that are sure to educate as they entertain. You will have a blast as you explore the exhibitions, planetarium and City Extreme Screen theater.
