1. Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 649 reviews
A sophisticated Native American society of about 20,000 people that operated via a sun calendar and disappeared by 1400.
Reviewed By SportsMoose - Indianapolis, Indiana
If you are in the St Louis area, or plan to be, this is an amazing spot to stop! It's a State Historic site, National Historic site, and World Heritage Site! At its peak Cahokia Mounds was a community stretching 6 square miles and included 120+ mounds, which were used to elevate residences, official buildings, and even some graves. In 1250AD it housed 10-20,000 people, which made it a larger city then London was at the time! Monks Mound, the largest mound, is the largest prehistoric earthen construction in the Americas. We went on a day when the museum was closed, so I cannot speak to that. However, we drove around the paved areas to check out the various mounds, and then parked by monks mound and hiked up. I love historic places that are outside and open like this, so young kids can enjoy it instead of worrying about breaking something! The kids were able to explore the stockade re-creation, and run around on the grass. We did stay on the path and stairs when climbing the mound to avoid erosion, but when we got to the top there was lots of room to roam around, and you can even see St. Louis in the distance. Add this to your list of things to see!
2. Wildey Theater
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 54 reviews
Reviewed By Bob D - Saint Louis, Missouri
Beautifully restored and intimate venue of just 326 seats offers great sight lines, beautiful sound, and everything from $2 Movie Nights to great artists like Dave Mason, Gypsy and Pavlov's Dog.
Artists are generally pretty laid back in this atmosphere, and frequently come out after the show for meet 'n ' greets and to sign and sell merch.
GM Al Canal (yes, it IS the "I know Al Canal, do you?" guy!) makes great host for the festivities!

As a coincidence, I've been there twice in two days. After golf on Monday and Tuesday night for dinner. Good food and good choices. Tuesday special is buy a pound of wings, get a pound free. Needless to say, the place in very busy on that night.
There is a dining room plus table service in the bar side. (lots of TV in the bar side)

My three friends and I visited, not knowing what to expect. We did the room called "Trapped with Friends." The puzzles were challenging and fun. We had a great time trying to work together to get out. The owner was very friendly and helpful, giving us clues when we needed them. We did complete the challenge. At the end, he takes a group picture. I would definitely recommend this place -it was a great time! Will try to book the new room he mentioned.
5. Kruta Bakery
Overall Ratings
5 based on 60 reviews
Reviewed By T H - Russellville, Kentucky
Kruta has been a family and community favorite for many years. I brought a visitor home and wanted to show it off (since she had recently shown off her Nashville favorite to me). None of us was disappointed. Everything was fresh. The variety was great, even late in the day.
Prices are reasonable. The system is efficient. I wish they had more descriptions to help make decisions.
My friend thought my hometown bakery was as good as hers.
6. The Gardens at SIUE

4.5 based on 48 reviews
Reviewed By Charlee T
If you live around Edwardsville and are looking for a beautiful and FREE place to take some photos (whether it be for an engagement, graduation, prom, anniversary, etc.), The Gardens at SIUE is a wonderful place! There are many features in the gardens (rustic wooden bridges, beautiful water fountains, colorful flowers, a stone amphitheater, a vast prairie, etc.) that allow different shots and backgrounds. I've come here for homecoming photos, senior photos, and just for fun photos with my boyfriend. On each occasion, I was more than pleased with the creativity and uniqueness the gardens allowed.
7. Villa Marie Winery

Reviewed By L K - Nashville, Tennessee
We were just riding around scoping out the area's scenery when we happened upon this winery. So glad we did! The wine was delicious (I bought the Dancing Spirits one), and their frozen drinks were outstanding. The staff was soo nice and knowledgeable. The facility was lovely. Would be a perfect place for a wedding or party. Definitely worth a visit. Very relaxing.
8. Spin City Skate Center
Overall Ratings
5 based on 1 reviews
Reviewed By jkitten71 - Saint Louis, Missouri
Brought my daughter & a friend here for MLK Day, they had a blast. For 1 convenient price, they were offering all day skating, all you can eat pizza & soda. They were well staffed and everyone was friendly & courteous. We were there for 4 hours and the refreshments never ran out. They have a DJ and had lots of games going on for the skaters. One thing that I would suggest is upgraded roller skates. I think this is typical in this industry it seems in most places we go.
Overall we will be visiting again!
9. World's Largest Catsup Bottle
Overall Ratings
4 based on 222 reviews
Reviewed By BBQ_Judge - St. Louis
Worlds largest katsup bottle that is actually a water tower!!! How could anyone possibly leave this off their bucket list? This is a much better and enlightened artistic treatment than the standard ugly water tower that is lurking around most towns and shows real creativity as well as marketing genius by accurately depicting a now defunct brand of catchup. While the Eiffel Tower might be older, taller, better lighted, better maintained, and more famous; it can never achieve the ne-plus-ultra level of monuments since it is unfortunately not made in the shape of a condiment container.

Pleasant walks through wooded areas, small lakes with geese nesting and educational opportunities. Check schedule to partake in those, they are great for the kids. Adults can also enjoy learning about birding and nature walks.
