Let your wild side out at the Saint Louis Zoo. Check out exotic animals from all over the world, from Africa to Antarctica. Grab a train ride for a narrated tour around the zoo or get up close and personal with the animals in Discovery Corner and other exhibits and attractions.
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.
Whether you're celebrating your heritage or just there for the green beer, the St. Patrick's Day Parade has something for everyone. One of the longest-running St. Patrick's Day parades in the country, this St. Louis festival offers marching bands and floats to celebrate this favorite Irish holiday.
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.
