Enjoy a good fright? Check out the Lemp Mansion, a historic building that has been remodeled into a restaurant and cozy inn. Owned by the unfortunate Lemp family during the 1860s, the ghosts of this family supposedly haunt the mansion today. Each room has a tale of its own. Guests can take a tour of this historic and haunted mansion, participate in the Murder Mystery Dinner Theater on weekends and party with the ghosts during Halloween.
Ride the 8-mile long Grant's Trail, which runs by The Lodge at Grant's Trail, Grant's Farm and an off-road BMX bike park. This former railroad provides a flat surface perfect for biking, jogging, in-line skating and other recreation.
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.
