Forest Park is one of the most beautiful and attractive parks around! First of all it is very large, so there is room for everyone. You don't have to be surrounded by other people if you don't want to. It is easy to find a nice quiet spot for reading, meditating, or resting! Or you can hang out with the crowd on Art Hill! Second, there is a lot to do! Picnicking, zoo, art museum, science center, history museum, golf, handball, tennis, picture taking, hiking, walking trails, special events, bird watching, duck watching, fishing, weddings, school outings, boating, baseball, soccer, restaurants, etc. Third, it is easy to get to. Either via street or highway and there is plenty of free on-street parking. You can drive, bike or take the train. However you get there, get there when you can!!

We went to the Fox Theatre to see Diana Ross. I hadn’t been to the Fox Theatre since I was a kid, so I was a little excited about going and taking my wife for the first time. If you have never been, you’re missing a beautiful venue. The Fox is old style glamour at it’s finest. The Diana Ross concert was great as she sang all the favorites from her career. Now granted she’s not 30 anymore and she had to accommodate for the lack of range, but she did put on a show. Seeing people of every ethnic group having a good time was fun. Now we sat down on the left side on roll G and were a little disappointed in the sound quality. I think we were to close to the speakers. But still had a great time. Traffic before the concert was a mess as road construction played havoc with people trying to get close. All in all as guy from St Louis I’m proud to have the Fox Theatre as part of my home.

7. The Muny

The St. Louis Municipal Opera Theatre, commonly known as The Muny, is widely recognized as the oldest and largest outdoor musical theatre in the United States. Located in Forest Park, it is an amphitheatre that seats 11,000 people with about 1,500 free seats in the last nine rows that are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The Muny is to St. Louis what Ravinia is to Chicago and the Ryman Auditorium is to Nashville. The first municipally owned outdoor theatre in the country was created in 1917 when the St. Louis Advertising Club was looking for an entertainment feature for its 13th annual convention. Mayor Henry Kiel, attorney Guy Golterman and St. Louis Parks Commissioner Nelson Cunliff stepped in and pulled it off in 49 days. Since then, the Muny has featured hundreds of big names in theatre, television and film on its stage. Over the past three decades, the Fiddler on the Roof, Annie, My Fair Lady, 42nd Street, West Side Story and The Wizard of Oz have been the most popular titles, each receiving four productions since 1990. Typically, the Muny produces seven musicals in a season, which runs only in the summer from mid-June to mid-August. A date to a Muny production wouldn't be complete without a backstage tour with a knowledgeable guide.
