Part playground and part funhouse, the City Museum is one of the most unique museums in the nation, built entirely out of items found in urban St. Louis. Exhibits and attractions include the world's largest pencil, The World Aquarium, and an interactive sculpture.

Visit the city's original bowling and martini lounge in The Loop. Pin-Up Bowl opens in the afternoon and closes at 3am. All ages are welcome with a responsible adult, until 9pm when the lounge becomes 21+ and the party starts. Walk-ins are welcome, but be sure to reserve a lane for larger parties because this bowling venue is popular among both tourists and residents of St. Louis.

Swing by Club Viva! for some of the best Latin music in St. Louis. (And for the best mojito in the city!) Open Tuesday-Saturday, from 8pm-1:30am, this nightlife venue is meant for those looking to dance the night away. Don't know how to dance? Come by on Thursdays or Saturdays for free salsa lessons.

Watch performing artists, shop, and learn through cultural demonstrations at the St. Louis African Arts Festival, held in Forest Park during the last four days of May. There is even a Children's Village, full of fun and educational activities for the young and young at heart.
