what are some things to do in St.Louis?

We are going for 4 days to see my dad. DH wants to see some brewery. I forgot the name of it.

We want to do one activity a day since we are going w/ DS who is only 11 months old.

Any suggestions?

TIA!

I'd recommend:
-Budweiser brewery tour
-Grant's Farm-it would be fun for your DS b/c I believe it has a petting zoo (and free admission doesn't hurt;) ). It's where they keep the clydesdale (sp?) horses for Budweiser.
-Missouri Botanical Gardens-I just went for the first time this past summer and it was gorgeous! Much more so than I had imagined.

I agree with these. I also like the Art Museum and the Zoo at Forest Park (http://stlouis.missouri.org/citygov/parks/forestpark/). And you can always go see the Arch.

I used to live there (my dad is from there)

The Magic House (http://www.magichouse.com/). Even though your daughter is less than a year old, she might like it. :)
The Zoo is really nice
Crown's Candy Kitchen (http://www.crowncandykitchen.com/) (not the best neighborhood, but famous...my dad grew up with this family)
The Arch (http://www.slfp.com/View-of-Arch.html)

Heather and princesstommi thanks for those links!

I think we will go to the arch b/c DH has never been there. And the zoo sounds fun, too.

I was there just last month and LOVED the zoo. It was free and a really really good zoo. We also went up in the arch. I was not wild about the pod you have to ride in to go up but it was a neat thing to do one time.
