1. Castlewood State Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 178 reviews
In the early 1900s, the area that’s now Castlewood State Park was a popular retreat for partying St. Louisans. The dance clubs are gone, but the winding Meramec River and the lush valley that surrounds it remain. The park has hiking and mountain biking trails that range from those great for first-time riders to ones that even the most experienced will return to time after time. The park is considered one of the best mountain biking locations in the St. Louis area. Good fishing, broad meadows filled with wildlife, and plenty of recreational facilities make the park a favorite for people who want an adventure or just to get away.

Castlewood has really good hiking and biking trails with some great bluff overlooks. Not many "improvements" so the park is pretty much set up for hiking or river wading. It does have one playground for the kids.

Very interesting and worthwhile. This place is doing a good job with injured birds. I spoke with one of the workers, they were going to send two baby cranes back to a preserve in a couple of weeks. I would go back to see the educational program they have.

Even though Mother Nature had different plans, we took the tour in the cold rain. It was absolutely cool. The wolves were very active, and the two tour guides were amazing. From Cub Scout Pack 473 at Forder a Elementary School in South County, we...MoreThank you so much for visiting our center, even in the cold rain! So glad the wolves were still so peppy despite the weather and that your pack was able to enjoy it! Come out and see us again sometime!
4. The Wabash Frisco and Pacific Railroad Association, Inc.

Reviewed By Lorin G - Saint Louis, Missouri
Conveniently located just north of I-44 and off Missouri Route 109, this is an attraction you don't want to miss. The locomotives and trains run on a 12-inch gauge track, and the ride is through beautiful countryside in the shade from a forest. The train ride is about 25 minutes long, and the trains run every few minutes on Sunday afternoons from May through October. This is a great place to take children. The train crews are friendly, and they are very helpful.

We have lived in this area for years and never took the opportunity to visit the giant bright glowing mass during the holiday season.
We took our 7 and 8 year old niece and nephew the day after Thanksgiving.
Lights and displays are really neat. As we crept along the winding road, mesmerized by the creative light displays and themes, the adults in the car were having more fun telling each other to look here, look over there, look at this one.
We us as much fun seeing cartoon displays from the Jetsons to current tv and movies. The animated lights of elves and reindeer leaping over your vehicle are great.
No wonder they give a discounted price discounted price to drive through a second time.
Well worth the $20 for a carload. So jam as many people in the car as you can and enjoy the ride through the lights.

The facility was modern and clean. Friendly staff provided us with a prompt start. The game we played (Casino) was enjoyed by our entire family, with everybody able to contribute with clues and ideas, including our two 13 year-olds. While we didn't need much help, there was a point where we stalled and the young lady monitoring us remotely, stepped in with just the right level of clue to get us back on track. The next time we have the family all together again, we are going back.

My grandson is five and loves horses. I recently sold my horse and my grandson was so upset. The people at Rockin J have a kiddy program for young riders. They offer safety lessors prior to the ride. This is a great place to ride.
9. Route 66 State Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 64 reviews
Travel through history on The Mother Road at Route 66 State Park. Route 66 captured Americans’ imagination and exposed millions of citizens to small towns and different cultures across the country. Sample a slice of that at Route 66 State Park’s visitor center, which has displays showcasing the road. The visitor center is the former Bridgehead Inn, a 1935 roadhouse that sat on the original Route 66. The park’s location, close to metro St. Louis provides visitors with a quick getaway to nature. More than 40 types of birds have been identified in the park and picnic sites are sprinkled throughout the park.

10. Rockwoods Reservation
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By HikingT - Saint Louis, Missouri
Rockwood Reservations is a beautiful place. There are cool rock formations, beautiful gulches and a babbling brook. There are several different hikes depending on your abilities and desires. Lime Kiln is approx 3 mile loop and a decent workout. Rock quarry is approx 2 mile loop and is mainly crushed rock so you can go after rainy days. Trail among the trees is approx 1.75 mile loop and strangely black top on about 1/3 of it and regular terrain on the other parts. If you want something more challenging then take Green Rock trail. It is linear, out and back so you can go as far as you want. This trail continues on into Greenfelder park and beyond. There are several areas for picnics. Dogs are welcome.
