Innovative Connections

Visit the outdoor sculpture garden at Laumeier Sculpture Park. This 105-acre open-air museum houses 70 sculptures and contains a 1.4-mile walking trail. Laumeier invites visitors to enjoy events such as live music, art fairs, outdoor movies and summer camps.

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.

Pull up your lederhosen and brace yourself for a weekend of food, music, dancing, contests, and lots of beer at the Soulard Oktoberfest in Lyon Park, right across from Anheuser-Busch. Listed as one of the top ten Oktoberfests in the USA by AOL, this festival is not one you want to miss.
