Saint Louis Zoo

Check out this perfect extended weekend in St. Louis! This 3 day itinerary hits all the highlights, but it isn't rushed! You'll take in views from the top of the Arch, sip on beer at the Anheuser-Busch brewery, and more! Pick and choose what you're most interested and get ready for a great visit to the "Gateway to the West." This trip was planned for a 3-day holiday weekend but could be adapted for any 3 day travel window. Additionally, this trip is a great example of what you could expect if you book my "Standard Itinerary" travel services. 🧳Trip highlights Day 1 - Fly in Day 2 - Forest Park & Gateway Arch Day 3 - City Museum & Anheuser-Busch Day 4 - Jewel Box Custard & Fly out Why this guide? 🎟️ Advance ticket purchase recommendations.

Special call outs for combo tickets to bundle and save will also be included where available! 🧾 Location-specific packing list. This won't be a comprehensive list (surely you've remembered your socks), but it will cover some key items to toss in your bag for a truly great experience at your destination. 🏆 Honorable mentions. Unless you booked a one way ticket (jealous!), you've only got a limited time to explore. The suggested itinerary includes my opinions of the best choices for first time visitors with general interest. Feel free to swap those out with any of the honorable mentions. ✨ And finally... If you are looking for a more tailored experience with a unique twist based on your interests, travel dates, and more, a custom itinerary may be best.
