Missouri has over 6,000 caves, but the Meramec Caverns are the largest commercial caverns in the state. According to legend, Jesse James used these caves as a hideout during the 1870s. Located only an hour away from the Gateway Arch, these caves are considered St. Louis's "Buried Treasure."
Catch a flick from overseas (or from across the street) at the Stella Artois St. Louis International Film Festival, one of the largest film festivals in the Midwest. More than 300 international and independent films are screened during this festival, many of which simultaneously make their first and final Missouri theatrical appearances.
One-of-a-kind historical artifacts are housed at the Missouri History Museum, including items from the Lewis and Clark Expedition and a replica of Charles Lindbergh's "Spirit of St. Louis." Stop by for music, films, lectures and even story time.
