There isn't a bad seat in the house. We saw "To Kill A Mockingbird" and went back for the next show "Million Dollar Quartet" ...both were outstanding.
We aren't always available so season tickets aren't for us but "rush" tickets work great. We live close enough to walk.

They grow many of their own vegetables and use local products when they can. They have been a real presence in the revitalization of the Maplewood community. We love dining outside on their patio in good weather. They have unique dining options-not just the usual bar fare.

Well preserved excellent example of FLW Usonian, especially impressive collection of furniture and textiles. Hidden gem, but worth the trip

Missouri has a wonderful network of State Parks and Conservation Lands. This Nature Center is one of the jewels of the Conservation Department. This area provides easy trails and longer more moderately challenging paved hikes. The hills provide a nice challenge during light walking. The indoor exhibits are also worth the time. Plus, I like the little library.

We shared a sampler plater with ribs, chicken and pulled pork. Great flavor, tenderness and done to perfection. I was craving Barbecue so it satisfied my craving. Fries and bloody mary were good also. Quick service and no waiting.
My daughter and I shared the sampler plater and got a side of coleslaw. It was only $17.00 or so for the plater with the side. My brother had a chicken sandwich with potatoes and said it was equally as good. Little Isla had a grll cheese and ate it like a champ.
We did not go for breakfast when i town but I hear it is Great. Highly recommend buffet on Sunday.

It's very simple. We lock you in a room and throw away the key. With only your wits about you, your group will have 60 minutes to use intense critical thinking and teamwork to solve a series of puzzles and riddles to find a way out. Escape from Saint Louis is proud to present a new type of amusement for all types of genius to enjoy! Are you up to the challenge?

We had bought a Groupon for another escape room in St. Louis and absolutely loved it. When we left that place, we knew we wanted to do another one soon. Lucky for us, we found a Groupon for Escape From St. Louis.
Unfortunately, we were disappointed. We did the locked in detention room. It wasn't challenging at all and we were even able to get out of the room before finishing all of the steps.
One of our favorite parts about escape rooms is the ability to use multiple clues in order to solve several mini puzzles (which eventually lead to more clues) as opposed to Escape From STL which is essentially solving one puzzle in an hour.
Also, please come in with as little as possible. There was no place to put our purses or jackets. We had to bring them with us into that tiny room and kept tripping over them.

Unfortunately the Chihuli glass onion installation wasn’t there, but there there is still the entrance chandelier and a smaller flame lily installation in the climatron. The gardens are incredible. It was a cold day and we just hopped from the climatron to the houses and braved the open air in between. Such a fabulous way to spend a day

Listed in the National Historic Register, the Hawken House is a structure both handsome and historic in suburban Webster Groves. Originally built several blocks west around 1857, it was moved in 1970 to occupy a space in Southwest Park on Rock Hill Road. The house is maintained and operated by the Webster Groves Historical Society while the park is maintained by Webster Groves. The house is completely furnished in the style and decor of the period, with many furnishings from the Hawken family with the balance furnished through donations from residents and members. The house is open to the public three days per week and special tours can be arranged. The staff is interested, skilled and knowledgeable in explaining the details of the house.
The Webster Groves Historical Society maintains a separate structure, the Hearth Room, behind the Hawken House, used as a banquet hall for weddings, special occasions, etc. Revenue from Hearth Room activities supports the Hawken House.
The Hawken family settled in St Louis in 1807 and had a rifle shop where they handcrafted the Hawken rifle, a black powder rifle that was shorter and larger caliber than others being used. Used by many famous explorers the Hawken rifle brought fame and fortune to the Hawken family. The house was built by Christopher Hawken, son of Jacob Hawken who manufactured the Hawken rifle with his brother.
A garden at the rear of the house the gift of the Webster Groves Herb Society. Visitors can picnic in the adjacent Southwest Park following their tour of the home. There is ample free parking and the park includes a playground and well maintained restrooms.
Anyone curious about mid-nineteenth century life, furnishings and architecture will enjoy a tour of this house. There are many details to enjoy and a visit could easily last several hours for those with a keen interest.

We expected this park, especially the playground, to be much nicer based on the TA ratings. If you look closely at the shared the pictures, you will see damaged surface areas which can be hazardous for children. The tennis courts, pool, etc may be great but the playground and play equipment are rather crumby.
