If you’re getting sick of being on campus on weekends, here are some fun day-long excursions that are super fun and won’t break the bank.
Forest Park
There are so many things to do in Forest Park that are totally FREE (if you walk). The Art Museum is my favorite, but you could also go to the Zoo or the Missouri History Museum.
Total Cost: FREE
Recommendation: Don’t try to do everything in one day! Make several trips out of it.
The City Museum
The best way that I can describe the city museum is an adult playground. It was created by artist Bob Cassily using found objects ranging from school buses to sheet metal. It has indoor and outdoor attractions, and it’s so much fun!

Total cost: $12.00 admission per person + $40 total Uber (I recommend using split charge)
Recommendation: Go with a big group and play team hide and go seek throughout the museum
The Gateway Arch
Who could forget the St. Louis staple? I personally have never been because I am deathly afraid of heights, but all of my friends have gone and loved it! There’s so much to do between actually going up into the arch, the documentary, and the riverboat cruise that it’s hard not to have a good time.
Total cost: $13 entry per person + $40 total Uber (again, I recommend using split charge)
Recommendation: Take as many pictures as possible.
Enjoy St. Louis!
