St. Louis

Gateway Arch, City Museum, toasted ravioli and a practical first road stop.

Recommended base

Downtown near the Arch / Union Station, or Central West End

Downtown makes the Arch and City Museum easy. Union Station is especially useful with an 11-year-old because the hotel, aquarium and family attractions are clustered together.
