Next up is the

Delmar Loop

. The Delmar Loop is a great area topark your car and walk around, especially when you want to get something to eat. The area’s most famous for Blueberry Hill which is the place that Chuck Berry used to play.

There’s a bronze sculpture of him across the street plus the Delmar Loop has the St. Louis Walk of Fame, which highlights some famous people from St. Louis.Across the street, you’ll see Fitz’s root beer, which is another St. Louis creation that has insane floats in all sorts of different flavor combinations., next to that is salt and smoke, one of my favorite barbecue restaurants in the city.The courthouse is where the historic Dred Scott case was tried, which is a depressing part of the nation’s history. They have a great exhibit telling you all about the trial in the courthouse to check out and a bronze sculpture of the Scott’s outside the courthouse as well. It’s one of the quicker stops in the city, but if you’re at the arch, you should go check it out as well. Next up is Grant’s farm.

• Grants Farm is probably my top recommendation in St. Louis for families. The farm was once owned by Ulysses S. Grant, and now it’s owned by the Anheuser-Busch family. The farm is free to enter other than parking, and it has a fun 15-minute tram ride to see animals like deer, zebra, and buffalo on the property.

After the tram ride you will get off, and you can feed and interact with all sorts of animals like goats and camels for a dollar fifty, you can grab a bottle of milk and feed the goats which are a fun experience all by itself but being able to feed other animals like sheep, camel, and parakeets is icing on the cake. Plus, in the end, you get two free samples of Budweiser, and I have to say they provided a lot more than I was anticipating for a sample.

If you’re a history buff, make sure you go across the street to Ulysses S Grant house. It’s kept up by the Park Service, and there is a museum and a tour you can go on to check it out. My next recommendation is Union Station. Union Station is a beautiful old building that serves as the train station for all of Saint Louis, MO.

It’s the future home of the aquarium as well, which will make this an even more popular spot, but when we went, it was impressive to walk through the historic hotel lobby and see the nightly light show. I was told a light show happens every night on the hour, but be sure to confirm that if you go.

When we went, it was underwater themed, and it was a ton of fun to sit there and watch. Also, make sure you go to the Whisper Arch near the entrance, as it’s famous for the fact that you can whisper on one side and hear all the way on the other.

Soulard Farmers Market

My next recommendation is the Soulard farmers market. With over 200 years of history in St. Louis, the Soulard farmers market is still open weekly from Wednesday to Saturday. I recommend going on Saturday if you can since most of the vendors come out for Saturday, but many often don’t come out earlier in the week, so you never know what you’re gonna get.

It’s a cool and historic spot where you can often find unique fruits and vegetables to try, or grab a slice of butter cake and sit and people-watch. Note that the parking can be a little tricky on Saturdays, but it’s something you’re gonna want to check out while you’re in the city.
