The best time to visit is before 10am when it is very seldom crowded.

2. Anheuser-Busch Brewery

A trip to St. Louis without a visit to the Anheuser-Busch Brewery is simply sacrilege. St. Louis has played home to America's most renowned beer maker since its conception in 1852. Now with 12 breweries nationwide, Anheuser-Busch offers tours of its flagship brewery for free. Guests over 21 years of age can sample products in the Hospitality Room.
