Free Places to Visit in St. Louis

Saint Louis, Missouri. The Gateway City. One of the only cities to have a wealth of free activities; from museums to zoos. A great place to plan a family trip and save a lot of money. Below you will find just a few of many different places that offer free admission in the beautiful city that is St. Louis

The Muny

The Muny is an outdoor musical theatre. If you are a fan of going to musicals like Footloose, Cinderella, or Matilda, this is the perfect place to bring your family to get some musical enjoyment. The last nine rows of the theater offer free seating but it is on a first come, first serve basis so arrive early so you can get the best free seats in the house

Missouri History Museum

What’s a family trip without learning a little bit of history about the place you are visiting? They have many exhibits available throughout the year and also some special ones for a limited time. Curb your curiosity with free admission to the museum.

Delmar Loop

The Delmar Loop is one of the most unique places to visit! You’ll love the chill vibe, and there’s plenty for the whole family to do. I love Fitz’s for the rootbeer (you can even watch and see them making it), and there’s no shortage of local restaurants to eat at. Lots of art to view and tons of photo opps make Delmar Loop a must-see.

Contemporary Art Museum

Love art? Stop by the Contemporary Art Museum to get a taste of the art Saint Louis has to offer. They offer many different types of tours; audio, spotlight, first-friday, and stroller tours, perfect for families that have infants and toddlers, so there is a tour for everyone.

Saint Louis Zoo

Does your local zoo cost you $20 per person to enter? Do your kids ask you to go to the zoo almost every week but they don’t want to go to the local one? The Saint Louis Zoo may be the perfect place to take them. How does free admission sound? Make your children and your wallet scream with joy. You’ll both enjoy the over 16,000 animals the zoo takes care of!

Saint Louis Science Center

Are your kids going through a science phase? The one where they’re asking about space and dinosaurs and planets and everything science related? Does free admission to a science center sound pleasing enough to take a trip to Saint Louis? If so, St. Louis Science Center will be great for your curious child.

There’s everything to gain and nothing to lose. Save yourself getting the Google run-around and visit the Science Center on your next family trip.

Grand Center Arts District

Home to over 60 art and cultural organizations, 16 theaters, 10 music venues, etc., is the Grand Center Arts District. They offer a walking tour of about 2 hours that will take you over 2 miles of art and cultural landmarks. No matter how many times you visit, there will always be something new to see, do and enjoy.

Saint Louis Art Museum

Art is one way we can see into the past. What you interpret from it is up to you, which makes art fun. What you see may not be what someone else sees. You could even take your child here to see what they interpret from the picture.

Admission is free every day. They also offer a free one-hour tour every day.

If you love learning about different cultures, viewing art, watching amazing musicals, seeing animals and saving money, St. Louis is calling.
