Highly recommend booking a date here if you're seriously hoping it goes well and you wanna see how compatible you are as partners. -- Shout out to Reno, he was our guide , he was an absolute joy and great addition -- I even asked him to play with us! He said no for our safety of course because apparently he had to monitor us but he watched us very well, no one was injured. Thanks Reno! He's born in Reno too if you didn't know!

I was thinking wow all these people to see balloons glow? Is it the food and higher prices or drinks? Nope, it's the time we all come out to support and come together without judgement and feel safe. we can stretch out on the ground and bloop just about anywhere and bring our own or buy to support ( because that's what we are doing when we pay those prices) We choose to battle the traffic and walk through the people to gather for something to do without nonsense. Don't get me wrong yes, we have our few a holes and it is what it is especially when so many cultures cross without regard. However it does not stop us from the thing to do in September right before we know summer will end now .... but tell that to STL... LOL!

This is one of the many fun and free events in St Louis and it pains me to say that having lived in…read morethe area for almost a decade, this was my first year checking this event out. My friends dragged me here, albeit not kicking and screaming but there were definitely some initial resistance due to crowd and traffic. The usual introverted enemies. I'm glad I allowed them to drag me here though. While I totally missed out on the Glow activities, I got to witness the actual race which was fun, filled with entertainment, and a few choice food trucks and vendors to satisfy some of your food and drink cravings while enjoying some fanciful balloons. Yes, parking can be a slight mess but if you come early and exercise patience, the event is actually quite enjoyable. There were face painting booths for the young ones, bunnies to pet, drink trucks for your imbibing needs, and food booths and trucks for your hungry bellies. Walking around the part of Forest park where they held the races is also quite fun. I got to meet some friendly corgi owners and most importantly, their corgis! It is a dog friendly event which means, for you non-people lovers, there is a great chance of meeting a four-legged friend or two. After the races, the inflated balloons did stick around for the general public to check out. I had a great time and got to marvel at the colorful hot air balloons. Did I mention this event is free?!

This was a pretty good museum, my favorite part is that it's free entry! My toddler is very much in…read morehis dinosaur era, so he absolutely LIT UP at the T-Rex. We were worried he would be scared, but he was so happy lol. The rest of the museum was pretty cool, but it focuses more on older kids so the small ones didn't have much to interact with. The outdoor area about agriculture was nice (there are chickens!) and a giant tractor to play on. Another interesting part was past the bridge called the Vault. It was just collections over time, and all over the world. If you have time to spend all day, it would be cool, but we're going to wait a little bit until my toddler is older. Parking is $15, but not bad compared elsewhere.

Parking is free if you're a member, if not you'll be charged unless you walk over , shuttle or park somewhere else nearby free. (They often will waive parking with the purchase of a movie ticket at that their theatre ) This science center has an OMNI IMAX movie theater inside on level 3 , cafes , gift shop, shows and too many hands on experiences to list with so many neat artifacts . The kid in me would come back repeatedly . Lol

This was a recent date night stop for my husband and I after dinner. You choose the amount of time…read moreyou want to play and that associated rate. We paid for one hour for $9 each which seemed very reasonable. Most machines are playable with the exception a small room of pay-per-play machines (for those who don't want to pay any hourly rate & just want to play a few machines). My husband and I also did the pay-per-play machines back when this spot opened just to check it out. Those are not the best value FYI - better value to do by hour! I didn't know if we would play the whole hour but we sure did - it flies by fast! I love the variety of machines - lots of modern ones (Adam's family, Avatar, Walking Dead, etc.) and lots of retro machines (more than expected). Probably 30-ish machines total, which is a great amount of options! We played on a Saturday night around 7, and it wasn't too crowded which was nice. I was able to play all the machines I wanted to except the Simpsons bc it wasn't in working order. All other machines seemed to be working fine though. They have another small room of other games that are also included in the hourly rate - Ms. Pac-Man and Mario World to name a few. They also offer a few bottled drinks & cold snacks (mostly candy it seemed) to purchase. The decor is simple but cool with fun facts about pinball machines - like who broke the world record of amount of consecutive time playing pinball machines (Which one? How long did the play? you'll have to go & find out ). Employees are friendly and helpful. I'm delighted to have a fun, different business in the area. Great activity for kids, families, teens, adults, everyone! I would LOVE to see more machines come in the future, either in addition or swapped out (to keep up the interest for return visits) especially more modern ones. If you're taking suggestions, I request Stranger Things :D

Review for 2025. Clayton MO…read more There were fewer restaurants than I expected. There were also some vendors and shops for tshirts. I enjoyed the event but it was hot. I tried places I had not in the past. Peacemaker lobster. So good. Had the mini roll. The bread was fresh, buttery, crispy. The lobster was tasty with the right amount of mayo. Juan tacos. Birra taco was the best. Came out hot. Was not greasy at all. Very tasty. Wools get again. The chicken taco was good. The steak taco was ok. The taste frozen lemonade was very refreshing and good. The creek bros lemonade was good but the sugar crystals were interesting to chew on. Parking can be challenging in Clayton but meters are free on the weekend. There's definitely a lot of restaurants. Quite a few caterers. Some brought their own chairs, else eat while standing. There was some shade which was a welcome relief to the 98 degree heat index. Always a good time when looking to try many new things.

In all honesty, my wife got me to go (she had attended a car show with me so I "owed" her!). We saw Tom Sawyer and I was apprehensive because I'm not a fan of musicals. But I'll admit that I really enjoyed myself. The building was tasteful inside and the seating and auditorium adequate, even when sitting at the end of a row. The actors are local and it is a labor of love for them; they are volunteers as far as I know. These people, especially the children, did a wonderful job! They were enthusiastic, didn't flub their lines, and really put their hearts into the acting. You knew they were enjoying it as much as the audience! If you are an ameteur theater goer like myself, give this place a try as an intro. New York City we're not, but for a local production company, I'm very impressed. Now...maybe I can talk my wife into going to another car show and then we can see another production (I'll pretend to be disinterested again...)
