Description

Some people will tell you the 1904 World's Fair was the last great thing to happen to St. Louis. But it was the profits from that international expo that built the World's Fair Pavilion — in 1909. Perched high atop Government Hill, the World's Fair Pavilion is just one gem within Forest Park. Other popular sites and attractions include the Saint Louis Zoo, Saint Louis Art Museum, Art Hill, Norman K. Probstein Community Golf Course, Missouri History Museum, the Muny, Saint Louis Science Center, the Jewel Box and much more.

    Greetings, Sun

    By Alison Sieloff | Thu, August 02, 2012

    Paying homage to the scorching sun might not be first on your list of summertime activities, given how the nearby star has roasted us unrelentingly for what seems like an eternity. However, would you consider acknowledging the glowing globe on... More »

    St. Louis Earth Day 2012: The Slideshow

    By Ettie Berneking | Tue, April 24, 2012

    Getting ready for Earth Day 2012 we were sure that with all that hoopla flooding Forest Park, there was bound to be an equal amount of garbage: a sea of half-eaten corn dogs, stale nachos, melted cott... More »

    The first LouFest was an unqualified success. How could it not be? There was the novelty of a new major music festival in St. Louis and a lineup stacked with local heroes (Jeff Tweedy, the Bottle Rockets, So Many Dynamos) and national star... More »

  • 2012 | Best View of Someplace Other Than Downtown

    Some people will tell you the 1904 World's Fair was the last great thing to happen to St. Louis. But it was the profits from that international expo that built the World's Fair Pavilion -- in 1909. Perched high atop Government Hill, the World's Fair Pavilion offers a bird's-eye view of the northern half of Forest Park. But it's at sunset when this view is truly amazing. Gaze out west as that violet hour sweeps over the park's urban canopy and washes Post-Dispatch Lake in a palate of... More »

  • 2004 | Best Restoration

    Do you find yourself veering off Lindell, or even Highway 40, for a leisurely drive through Forest Park? Do you look for any excuse to pass by the new fountains in the Grand Basin? Have you eaten at the Boathouse, whose outdoor tables offer the most pastoral view within the city limits? Rented one of the boats? When Forest Park Forever was created in 1986, its lofty goal of restoring the deteriorating 1,400-acre park to its former glory sounded like something out of Pollyanna. Eighteen years... More »

  • 2003 | Best Place to Jog

    If the category were Most Convenient Place to Jog, avid runners with busy schedules would respond as one: "my neighborhood" or "the park closest to my house." But if time is no object and you have no moral objection to driving somewhere for a jog, then head to Forest Park. Bike paths snake throughout the 1,300-acre park and provide a backdrop to suit your mood: wooded areas, the open areas along public golf courses, paths winding past lakes and over bridges. If architecture is what's on your... More »

  • 2002 | Best Shopping District

    Sure, there are the obvious ones: South Grand, the Loop, the Galleria and Cherokee Street. But smack-dab in the middle, and conveniently located for all, is Forest Park. The Art Museum's Museum Shop offers vast tasteful options in jewelry, art books, cards, kids' toys and even teapots, lamps and bowls. Exhibition products, many of them designed in-house, also sell fast. You loved the van Gogh exhibit? Commemorate it by drinking mocha latte from a van Gogh mug on a starry night while wearing...

  • 2001 | Best Place to Exercise

    You can't ask for much more, or much better, compared with the blaring Top 40 and mechanical torture devices at indoor gyms, than Forest Park. There's its 6-point-something-mile track that circles much of its perimeter, available for runners, cyclists and Rollerbladers (who tend to take up more than their share of both the path and the supply of spandex in the city). On the north side, you can avail yourself of either a slightly dilapidated par course or the picnic shelters to do your... More »

  • 2000 | Best Public Golf Course

    Talk about pressure. What course in town makes the holes in your game as plain as Forest Park's? You drive along Skinker Boulevard, as the traffic runs by, with cars full of folks watching you play. The Forest Park course was built in 1912 by the architect Robert Foulis, who also designed the courses at Glen Echo Country Club and Normandie Golf Club, among other courses. More than 100,000 golfers play the Forest Park course annually. It has a layout of 27 holes, including the Dwight D.... More »

  • 2000 | Best Duck Pond

    Murphy Lake is sheer bucolic splendor. Accessible yet secluded, it provides an ideal spot for gazing wistfully, walking leisurely or attempting to feed the beautiful wild ducks that sometimes alight but want nothing to do with you or your bread. Fuckers. The best place in town to feed ducks is only minutes away, at a series of unnamed "ponds" between Round and Murphy lakes in Forest Park. They're often marshy and usually smelly, and their banks are coated in the excrement of the birds that... More »
