Forest Park Tours

I thought they were talking about the Forest Park Parkway Hotel... not the actual park. We didn't go to the park Once I clicked the face I couldn't unclick it.

Very close to St. Louis zoo less than a five minute drive

St Louis Zoo and Busch Stadium

We drove around Forest Park to get to the zoo. Parking is free on hte side streets if you get there early enough, you won't have to walk far. The park is very beautiful, but we did not see much other than the zoo. I would have dedicated more time, but a local advised me there is not too much else for kids and more enjoyable for adults. We opted to spend more time at the City Museum instead.

Parking can be tough. Plan accordingly on weekends

Enjoyed eating at the boathouse. Would recommend the kayaks or canoes if you want to head over to the grand basin on water - we did the paddle boats and they were too much work/effort. But our whole five person family fit into one and now we can say we did it. The kids had fun.
