Tours

The famous Anheuser-Busch Brewery in St. Louis is the company's world headquarters and the largest of its 12 breweries. Visitors learn how beer is created through a tour that includes historic buildings, the brewhouse, aging cellars, and a packaging plant. Guests can also visit the Budweiser Clydesdales at their paddock and stables.

Since 1965, when construction workers placed the final piece of steel at the apex of the Gateway Arch, over 25 million sightseers have journeyed to the top. Also known as the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, the Arch stands as the 630-foot tall gatekeeper to the Midwest, making it the tallest national monument in the United States, and the 4th most-visited tourist attraction in the world. Its juxtaposition between the Mississippi River and the historical city of St. Louis provides sightseers with much more than a bit of vertigo at journey's end. Whether you check out the exhibits in the Museum of Westward Expansion, take a ride to the top, dine on the riverfront, or indulge in one of the many activities or exhibits, a visit to the Gateway Arch Riverfront offers a multitude of fun things to see and do.

Since first opening in 1859, the Missouri Botanical Garden has acquired contributions from artists, architects, and scientists. Now, secluded oases and photo-ops abound within its 79 acres of natural and architectural splendor. Whether visitors come to brush up on their gardening techniques or simply indulge in personal reflection, the Botanical Garden – also known as Shaw's Garden, after its founder – offers a refreshing natural refuge in the midst of the city.
