Explore St. Louis’s Free World-Class Attractions

“From world-class museums to a nationally ranked zoo, St. Louis proves the best things in life really are free.” -Lofts on Washington

St. Louis stands out as a city where world-class attractions come without a price tag. Start your journey at the Saint Louis Zoo, one of the few free zoos in the country, home to thousands of animals from around the globe. Stroll through River’s Edge to see hippos and elephants, explore the Penguin & Puffin Coast, or enjoy a ride on the Zooline Railroad to take it all in with ease.

Across the park lies the Saint Louis Science Center, boasting over 750 interactive exhibits. Here, kids and adults can learn about everything from space exploration to biotechnology. The Science Center also features the James S. McDonnell Planetarium and the five-story Omnimax Theater, making it an engaging stop rain or shine. And don’t forget the Missouri Botanical Garden, which offers free admission to city and county residents on select mornings and hosts stunning floral displays year-round.
