Journals / Missouri / St. Louis

St. Louis is the Gateway to the West. The city is home to the Gateway Arch, a 630-foot-tall must-see. Tucked beneath the arch is the Museum of Westward Expansion. It is also home to one of the largest urban parks in the U.S., Forest Park, where you can find the St. Louis Zoo and St. Louis Museum of Art. Sports fans can find both MLB and NHL events here. The city’s iconic entertainment district is The Delmar Loop, where there are a variety of stores and restaurants, as well as the National Blues Museum and Tivoli Theatre. Don’t forget to try a slice of gooey butter cake while you’re there!
