An Afternoon in Forest Park ($29.00 per person, 4 hours)

One of the largest urban parks in the United States and site of the 1904 World’s Fair, which popularized the ice cream cone, ice tea, and the hot dog, Forest Park offers a treasure trove of attractions ranging from antiquities at the History Museum to zebras at the Zoo. This is a day when you can concentrate on one location or enjoy them all at your leisure.

The guide will give an overview of the park and then make a stop at the newly expanded Missouri History Museum, which boasts a replica of the Spirit of St. Louis, the St. Louis Art Museum whose galleries range from ancient to contemporary and also include a mummy, the St. Louis Zoo which features over 6000 bird, mammals, and reptiles and new home for the elephants called River’s Edge, or the St. Louis Science Center where you’ll be greeted by the roar of a dinosaur. After the initial stops, the motor coach will make several pick-ups so that you can mix and match your attractions.

Gateway Arch and Anheuser-Busch Brewery Tour ($39.00 per person, 3-4 hours)

When visiting St. Louis, there are two must see attractions. Spend a day enjoying a great view, learning how the “King of Beers” is produced, and visiting some of the most famous horses in the world.

Stop at the 630-foot tall Gateway Arch to take a tram ride to the top if it suits your fancy, or, if not, see a movie on how it was built. You can also stroll through the Museum of Westward Expansion to check out the peace medal exhibit or glimpse some of the gritty reality of the Old West.

Anheuser-Busch Brewery is where it all began and where it continues. The tour includes a visit to the century-old Clydesdale stable, the elegant Brew House, and the Bevo Packaging Plant. At the end, relax over complimentary tastings of AB products and browse in Bud World, which offers a selection of distinctive logo-ed merchandise.

This activity is limited to 92 people in order to complete the tours in the allotted time.
