Best time to take a vacation to St Louis

  • Best Time to Go

    The peak season for visiting St. Louis, Missouri is June through September—Cardinals baseball and lots of festivals like Fair St. Louis over July 4th. If you must schedule St. Louis vacations in the summer, June and September are the most comfortable months. Visiting in the fall and spring is a bit cheaper, and the outdoor parks like Tower Grove or Forest Park have pretty lovely colored leaves and bright spring flowers. Remember to pack that umbrella though, and plan on reduced hours for some attractions like the St. Louis Zoo. Winter is slushy with mixed weather and chilly temperatures, but there's sledding at ArtHill, Blues hockey at the Scottrade Center, and Rams football at the Edward Jones Dome.

  • St. Louis is lucky enough to experience four distinct seasons. Heat advisories, high humidity, and triple-digit temperatures are not uncommon during the summer, so avoid St. Louis at this time if you are sensitive to heat. The city is quiet during the winter, as temperatures fall to average lows in the 20s and 30s, but you can expect to find art and music festivals during the rest of the year. If you are willing to brave the high summer temperatures, stop by on the 4th of July for the annual St. Louis Fair and Air Show. Orbitz.com can help you plan your own Midwestern vacation to St. Louis, Missouri.

More on St Louis from AOL Travel

  • St. Louis, the Gateway to the West, offers visitors more than the Gateway Arch and major league baseball team the Cardinals; from the French neighborhood of Soulard’s lively Mardi Gras celebrations and live jazz and blues bars to the nation’s seventh largest urban green space, Forest Park, there are a plethora of options for any visitor. Forest Park includes a host of free attractions, many of them ranked among the best in the country, including the St. Louis Zoo, Missouri History Museum and St. Louis Art Museum. The park is also home to the Muny outdoor theater, St. Louis Science Center, the Jewel Box – an Art Deco-style conservatory – and pavilions and monuments marking the 1904 World’s Fair. For a taste of St. Louis’ storied past as a booming riverfront town, check out the Gateway Arch and the Museum of Westward Expansion just below this magnificent feat of engineering. For refreshment break, nearby Laclede’s Landing offers plenty of bars and restaurants housed in the neighborhood’s historic brick buildings lining cobblestone streets. St. Charles, a western suburb of the city, also serves up a taste of the old frontier, with beautifully preserved structures dating back to the 1800s along its Main Street, a perfect place to shop for antiques, collectibles, souvenirs and home-cooked eats. St. Charles is nestled along the Missouri River, and cycling, hiking and running enthusiasts will enjoy the adjacent Katy Trail, which runs across the state of Missouri. For a more urban experience, visitors can take in the clubs and late-night dining found in the upscale loft district of Washington Avenue in downtown St. Louis.
