Fitz's in the loop makes and bottles their own delicious root beer. This restaurant has two floors of tasty dining where visitors can take a peek at the brewing and bottling process. The menu includes bottomless mugs of their famous root beer as well as other Fitz's soda, great food and of course root beer floats! This is a great family place for lunch and dinner. The upstairs at night becomes a cool hang out with games and drinks.

Swing A Round Fun Town is a cheaper alternative to large theme parks. This place is jam packed with fun activities to do with the family or with friends. Ride the go karts, get splashed on the bumper boats, test your skills with mini golf, swing in the batting cages, beat the high scores on the arcade games and grab a snack at the concessions stand.

At The Magic House parents can bring their kids to play and learn at the same time. There are so many fun interesting things to do and see here! Send the kids down the slide or have them learn about grocery shopping in the store. Or learn about electricity by touching the ball and having your hair stick up! There are so many other exhibits set up to educate kids by making it fun. With several additions and updates the Magic House continues to get bigger and better for you and your family.

Everyone in St. Louis has been to a professional baseball game but how many know that we have two minor league teams close by? Gateway Grizzlies and River City Rascals games are just as fun as a Cardinals game and are cheaper. Guests at these games get a more personal experience with less fans and closer seats. These games often feature special promotions or feature local performers. These teams play hard and really appreciate their fans.

St. Louis is full of attractions and experiencing all of them is near impossible. But, instead of visiting the same large attractions, gain new memories from new places.
