11 FREE Activities in St. Louis, Missouri<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We really enjoyed our visit to St. Louis this year. We were able to spend a lot of time on a variety of activities without spending much money. St. Louis is a large city with many family-friendly attractions, many of which are FREE<\/strong><\/em>. The most surprising thing was that these free activities were high-quality places and experiences. I would definitely recommend St. Louis as a great city for a family vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are 11 of our favorite FREE Things to do in St. Louis:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

St. Louis Zoo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I still can’t believe this beautiful zoo is FREE<\/strong><\/em>! It is a very large, well-maintained zoo and it is one of the best in the country. We really enjoyed our visit here. The kiddos loved seeing elephants, rhinos, penguins, and a red panda. Our family’s favorite animal was the polar bear!<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some attractions cost a fee, but if you arrive early, you can ride the carousel, feed the stingrays, and enter the Children’s Zoo for FREE<\/strong><\/em> from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The parking lot at the zoo charges $15.00, but there is a lot of FREE<\/strong><\/em> parking spots on the nearby streets. We parked on the street near the north entrance between the zoo and the art museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
