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.

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.

4. Robertsville State Park
Overall Ratings
4 based on 13 reviews
The Meramec River and Calvey Creek bound Roberstville State Park, creating unlimited outdoor opportunities. Boat launches and easy water access make fishing and boating along the peaceful Meramec easy. The park's landscape includes scenic bluffs along the river, and a patchwork of hardwood forests, rich river bottomlands, and clearings that date to when the park was a working farm in the early 1900s. Waterfowl lovers love Robertsville for the diversity of birds that use the park’s waters, and families love Robertsville’s quiet campgrounds and picnic areas.

Robertsville has a nice, secluded campground. Facilities (bathrooms, water access) were good, about average for the MO state park system, which in my opinion is better than average nationwide.
During our trip we experienced a wiring fault in our pop up trailer, which I initially thought may have been the result of a faulty electrical connection at the camp site. The campground host and campground maintenance staff were kind enough to troubleshoot the problem with a multimeter until the problem was isolated to my trailer.
This park does offer access to the Meremac River, but we didn't use it on this trip.

Montelle Winery has commanding views and a huge deck from which to enjoy them. We ordered a couple of sandwiches and enjoyed a pleasant lunch on the deck. The sandwiches were large and delicious and were served with potato chips. Unfortunately, a number of bees were very interested in our sandwiches. We had been sitting at the edge of the deck, so we moved away and were able to finish our lunch in peace. Wine tastings are 5 samples for $5, including a souvenir wine glass.

My mother heard about this place through facebook & wanted to check it out while we were in the area for the art show at Shaw. The shop has tons in it, mostly vintage/antiques, but also some crafts from local artisans. There is a decent variety and everyone should find something interesting. Pricing is pretty reasonable, not overly inflated like some antique shops. There is also a small model train display. Overall, worth a visit if you're in the area.

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.
8. 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.
9. Black Madonna Shrine

These grottoes have been built by hand over a 23 year period, by one Franciscan Brother. He placed each stone, some with donated jewelry to complete a wonderful and peaceful grotto dedicated to Our Lady of Czestochowa (the Black Madonna).
Just wondering around this area gives a peace and also a wonderful place to contemplate and pray. It is a free site, but since they receive no support, a donation or purchasing a few gift shop items is a nice way to say "thank you" for this lovely spot.
