What's inside

Forest Park is one of the largest urban parks in the United States — bigger than Central Park. It holds the Saint Louis Zoo (free), the Saint Louis Art Museum (free), the Missouri History Museum, the Science Center, and miles of trails.

How to do it

Pick one or two attractions per visit. The park rewards repeat trips more than a single marathon day.
