Things to do:
St. Louis Zoo (world class and it's free)
Art Museum (Free as well)
Science museum(also free) These three are all in Forest Park. If you come in the summer there is also the Muny Opera which is the largest outdoor theater in the US. Mostly musicals. There is also the St. Louis Wheel and the St. Louis Aquarium at Union Station downtown.
If you like to Gamble, there is Lumiere downtown and Casino Queen right across the river. Hollywood in Maryland Heights and Ameristar about 2 miles from there in St. Charles.

Missouri Boatanical Gardens (also known as Shaw's Garden)
City Museum for the kid in you
About 2 hours southwest of St. Louis are some really great float streams if you are into canoeing or tubing.

The arch and the museum at the base of the arch
Of course we have the Cardinals and the Blues
The Old and New Cathedrals
And some other ideas:

I am visiting this week also, tues-friday
Which strip clubs are good?
I will be staying by the airport

[mizurymule]

There are no good strip clubs on the Missouri side of the river. All the good ones are in Illinois. That saying, I haven't been to one since before Covid, so I can't tell you how that has affected them.

[Boatguy]

I noticed no strip clubs on the MO side, why is that?

[gfmhobby]

Probably has something to do with Jebus.

There may still be some around. Not sure since I never went to them. Because of all the regulations MO put on them, anyone in the STL area just went over the river where the rules are a lot less stringent.
