What an awesome event! I can't believe it's been going on for 5 years, and yesterday was my first…read moretime attending! The whole thing takes place on Art Hill. A TON of wineries participated in the event, which was neat. I'm not a huge wine person. I couldn't tell you the difference between pinot grigio and chardonnay. I don't know how to pair wines with particular foods. All I know is that I like sweet wines! Every vendor that I spoke with had representatives working who seemed to be very knowledgeable about wines, which was a plus. I tried lots of tasty wines! The entry fee isn't too bad; $25 a person, which gives you 10 tickets for 10 tastings of wine (additional tickets can be purchased for $5 per 10). This year they also had a Stella Artois beer seminar (free!) which was very interesting and informative. I have so much more respect now for (good) beer! If you're not into wine, they also had booths with food from various local restaurants, as well as live music. Super cool event! Can't wait to attend again next year!

The first Sunday of the month is family friendly. One of my kids is a gamer and this was a perfect…read moreplace to spend some time. Please note: the place was packed with kids and adults. Do not let that deter you. The space is much larger than it looks. There is an indoor bar and an outdoor bar with some table games and outdoor seating. There is a separate pick up window for snacks. They offer pizza by the slice, hot dogs and other goodies. The food is cheap and the pizza was solid for the price. The games require tokens which you can purchase at the bar. They have just about every game you could want! Even had a Super Nintendo set up, Dane Revolution, and my all time favorite skee ball!! My Zennial spirit was happy for this bit of nostalgia.

Pizza , drinks are available for purchase. I did try a Pineapple Cider draft that was fruity and delicious. We played pinball , old school Super Mario Brothers , skee ball and Frogger to name a few. We must be getting old because both our arms started cramping and as of right now sore :) Two levels of childhood fun, dark and sultry, and plenty of drink holder spots to play your games. Spacious. Outdoor patio. Staff friendly. This was a really fun date .

What an amazing show!…read more I've driven by but we had never been. What a miss on our part! The performers were all excellent and at a level that I didn't expect. The variety of acts was also great. Baton twirling, horse riding, acrobatic dogs, trapeze artists, high wire acts and a contortionist! There were also a number of talented kids doing acrobatics. I'm sure I'm forgetting something's, and apologize to any of the artists that might read this, you are all extremely talented! If you get the chance, GO! (Pro tip, the parking lot directly across from the box office is cheaper and closer than the others!)

Step up! Come one! Come all to Circus Flora!…read more This family centered circus act is a whimsical ride. There were kids gymnasts, a family who did trapeze, energetic dogs jumping rope, and a lot of good family comedy! The food and drinks looked wonderful but wish I didn't come right after dinner. There is not a lot of parking so plan to pay to park. The restroom options are porta potties. The big top is semi-acessible (walker device). The music is played by a live band but they do bring the house down so bring noise headphones for the little ones.

Review: Jan 2026 The experience was everything I expected…read moreand more! I went to Alicia Keys Broadway Play "Hell's Kitchen." She is my childhood/ adulthood favorite. Of course the event was on one of the coldest night we experience this past Winter in STL. For fashion, I decided to ditch my bulky coat in the truck and take the lighter instead. Fortunately, I arrived early and was able to find street parking close by and didn't have to endure the bitter cold too long Design: The architectural designs are breathe taken! It's something about "antique designs that I am always fascinated with. Food: My friend & I decided to have dinner at the restaurant next door (don't remember the name). I wanted to grab a drink at the Fox, however didn't want to miss out on any of the play standing in long lines. Service: Everyone hustled to get in after going through the metal detector or being scanned by security. There were staff members present to guide you to your seat. Overall Experience: I truly enjoyed myself. I definitely will be back!

What an amazing theater!! An absolute great place to see a show…read more Really easy to Uber and get dropped off. Lines go quickly - quick metal detector scan, ticket check, and you're in! Artwork and decor is stunning! This is where you'll find many of your concessions stands as well as merchandise. If you're on the orchestra level, head straight to the back. Otherwise, take the elevator or stairs to the balcony. The rows are set steep, so watch your footing! The Curtain Call restaurant is a nice place to grab a bite before or after. Concessions inside are a bit expensive, to be expected. Bathrooms are located on most levels.

This music and entertainment venue has new life…read more The venue now has seats on the lower level that were only for special shows. I would always call the box office to be sure of the layout before buying tickets. I saw Qveen Herby and Thot Squad (May 20th) and it was a safe vibe of all types of people. The check in process was smooth and someone helped me to my seat up stairs. I enjoyed the show but my accessible seat kind of sucked because once folks stood up I couldn't see. I asked some other people to help me be a mood killer and kindly ask others to sit down, but the venue should adjust those seats one more time. Also they should go back to just being a smoking building because everyone was vaping and the smell of smoke and marijuana was very pronounced! Either crack down hard or let the people smoke it up. Accessibility note: there is not enough parking so get an uber or pray to the parking goddesses. There is stepless entry but if your seat is upstairs, you will need a proper staff member to key in the elevator for you. I waited over 10 minutes for assistance (they bought me a drink tomorrow ease that soreness). Bring headphones or ear plugs as the whole suite booms! Don't be afraid to tell folks down in front because you cannot see.

The view from any seat is great. Even in the "nosebleeds," you're not far from the stage. The sound is outstanding. The staff are always friendly. Even when getting busted sneaking liquor in, they were so nice, LOL! Bathrooms are clean and plentiful. The bar? Expensive. I mean, expect to pay concert venue prices. Just club soda is even $4. They will, however, let you bring food in or even order food to the venue. Parking can be tricky along Delmar. There is a parking lot behind the venue that I recommend. Love this place for concerts and absolutely recommend seeing a show here.

I had heard about this place a few times and my husband and I finally got a chance to check it out…read more The space is divided into rooms of what the illusion is supposed to be. There are employees at certain stops to help with picture taking, which is great. We went in order, you can do it however you like. It makes you think and its fun! They run specials at certain times for admission and if youre a teacher and have an ID, you're free!

But, when you buy tickets ahead of time some of the theaters are misaligned with the options with online ordering. The seat i selected did not exist in the actual theater. The other thing? This is semi at the fault of the theater, but the other movie goers are not super considerate. I saw marty supreme recently and multiple times people were having full volume conversations, walking in and out like crazy, and had their phones on the brightest level playing on them. I hope they start enforcing some movie etiquette. All in all, a convenient and lovely movie theatre that is my go to! Once more ya can't find a cheaper theatre! No frills, easy, boom!

The movies here are less expensive, with movie popcorn, friendly competent staff (don't forget to tip) excellent audio, comfortable seats, and before I saw the best documentary (The Myth of Pruitt Igoe, our meeting group the Midwest Sociological Society put it on) they had a live organist playing show tunes. They were so good! They don't usually show documentaries, there are a couple of first run movies and one retro at any given time.

I always enjoy visiting the Symphony. The musicians and artists are truly amazing and talented.
