St. Louis Holiday Packages

St. Louis Holiday Packages

Known as “The Gateway to the West,” St. Louis, Missouri, was the starting point for the pioneers who settled America’s wild frontier. Now a bustling city, St. Louis is a popular destination for travellers. With museums, parks, professional sports teams and a storied history among American beer breweries, there's plenty to do on St. Louis holidays.

Things to Do in St. Louis

With St. Louis holiday packages, it’s definitely in your destiny to see the Gateway Arch, the city’s iconic monument to America's 19th-century philosophy of Manifest Destiny. Take a tram to the top of the 192-m arch for a fantastic view of the city. At its base is the Jefferson National Expansion Monument, which commemorates western exploration.

St. Louis's parks and recreation venues offer plenty of opportunities for outdoor fun. Take in a baseball game at Busch Stadium, then meander through Forest Park and find the Jewel Box—a conservatory with fantastic floral displays. You can even check out the beach—yes, the beach! A day trip to Lake of the Ozarks with our Osage Beach holiday packages is sure to wear out the rugrats.

Looking for a cultural experience? Visit the Museum of Contemporary Religious Art at St. Louis University. The whole family can play at the City Museum—an interactive experience that's half art museum, half circus. Refresh yourself at the end of the day by paying homage to St. Louis's storied role in American brewing—and scoring some sample suds—with a tour of Anheuser-Busch or a local brewery.

Shopping, Dining & Nightlife

Plan to shop during your St. Louis holiday? Go for trendy boutiques and sidewalk cafes in the city's Central West End. For the ultimate antiquing experience, try Cherokee Antique Row. If you’re looking for more traditional retail outlets, book one of our car hire in St. Louis, MO and head to the St. Louis Outlet Mall in the city's northwest corner. And you absolutely must visit the historic St. Louis Union Station, which includes 80 unique shops, bars and restaurants in a Romanesque-style building.

St. Louis-style pizza makes it hip to be square, with pieces cut into rectangles instead of wedges, while frozen custard from one of the city's Ted Drewes shops is “egg-cellent.” Find Italian specialties at various restaurants in a neighbourhood known as The Hill, and look for eclectic shopping and a wide range of ethnic dining establishments on the Delmar Loop.

After the sun goes down, St. Louis heats up. Get your groove on at a blues or jazz club in the Soulard neighbourhood, or head to Laclede's Landing or Washington Avenue for trendy bars and dance clubs. Westport Plaza is another option for fun after dark—this massive entertainment district offers restaurants, hotels, theatres and clubs.
