Featuring more than two million dazzling lights, Garden Glow transforms the iconic setting of the Missouri Botanical Garden into an enchanted wonderland during the holiday season! It is open nightly with timed entry tickets that can be purchased from the website. If you're in town Thursday or Friday before the wedding, this is a great time to grab a drink (both alcohol and non-alcohol options) and walk around the beautiful light displays (~1.5 miles total) with your family and friends.

Giant indoor playground with things to crawl under, climb on, jump over, swing across, slide down, walk into, spin around.... fun for kids AND adults, so wear your workout clothes!

Located within Forest Park, this is one of the best zoos in the country and most importantly, admission is FREE! During this time of year, Wild Lights at the Zoo (ticketed event) will be going on nightly, which is an opportunity to walk through view cool light displays and tunnels in addition to seeing some animals.

Forest Park is one of the largest urban parks in the US. At around 1,300 acres, it is bigger than Central Park in New York. Walk or run on one of the many trails or check out some of the attractions within the park including the St. Louis Zoo or the St. Louis Art Museum (FREE admission for both).

This is probably what you think of when you picture St. Louis! This 630ft monument is actually a National Park. Walk around the grounds or take a tram ride to the top for some amazing views.

Large food hall with cuisine from all over the world, some shopping, and Putt Shack (an upscale, tech-infused mini golf experience).

While it won't be baseball season, Ballpark Village is still a fun area right around Busch Stadium with lots of bars and restaurants - a great place to hang out with groups big or small!

A combination of both history and entertainment, Union Station offers a little something for everyone. Ride the ferris wheel, explore the St. Louis Aquarium, or dine at one of the many restaurants!

Interactive play center featuring high-tech games to test groups’ physical and mental agility. Great for both adults and older kids (8+).
