The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Ascend America's tallest monument — all 630 feet of gleaming stainless steel — in a pod tram for a jaw-dropping panorama of the Mississippi and the St. Louis skyline. A bucket-list icon that defines the American West's starting point.
Part architectural wonderland, part adult playground, City Museum is a 10-story labyrinth of caves, slides, rooftop Ferris wheel, and surrealist art built from reclaimed St. Louis architecture. There is nothing else like it on Earth.
One of the oldest and most respected botanical gardens in the world, spread across 79 acres of immaculate horticultural artistry including a stunning Japanese strolling garden and a Victorian glasshouse. A living masterpiece and National Historic Landmark.
Walk the storied streets of downtown St. Louis with a preservation expert from Landmarks Association, uncovering 19th-century architecture, Civil War history, and the city's extraordinary rise as the Gateway to the West.
Board a classic riverboat and glide the mighty Mississippi in the shadow of the Gateway Arch — one of America's most dramatic waterfront panoramas. A deeply evocative journey on the river that shaped an entire nation.
Make the pilgrimage to St. Louis's most legendary institution — Ted Drewes Frozen Custard on Historic Route 66 — for a 'concrete' so thick it's served upside-down. A rite of passage for every visitor to this city since 1929.
