4. Louis — and Its Free Attractions
St. Louis is your gateway to adventure — and free attractions! It has more free tourist attractions than any other city in the country, aside from Washington, D.C. You won’t pay admission fees at the history museum, science center and zoo, all located in the 1,300-acre Forest Park, one of the largest city parks in the world. St. Louis is also brimming with award-winning restaurants and other world-class attractions, including the iconic 630-foot-tall Gateway Arch, the highest man-made monument in the United States. If you haven’t done so already, you’ll want to take a tram ride to the top of the arch, where you’ll be able to see breathtaking views of the mighty Mississippi River and other famous landmarks.
