This is the part of my website where I tell you about fun things you can do with your family for the weekend...either free or cheap. There is obviously more here than the average family could do, this is so you can have several options. I also tried hard to find activities that are for different age groups, in different parts of St. Louis.
Don't forget...while you are out & about & stopping for lunch, be sure to patronize a restaurant that practices KIDS EAT FREE! (button always on my sidebar too!)
Happy Weekending!
