Not getting killed would be my prime directive in the "Lou".

I take the wife on ‘date night’ once a month. Mostly go to St Louis, some time Springfield or Columbia, have yet to feel uncomfortable in any of them. I carry, keep an eye on folks. The ‘Hill’ is a part of St. Louis that just feels safe. We eat there at a different restaurant every chance we get.

I think we have decided on going to the zoo on Sunday before the concert. On Saturday we plan on taking a kayak tour of a flooded cave in Crystal city. Thank you everyone for your replies.

Park in the road in forest park and it's free vs paying for their lot.

Grants Farm is nice and free but it's $18 to park.

MO recognizes My Indiana carry permit and I always carry.

There's the Arch and I believe the Wild west museum is right there close to it. we stayed right next to Busch stadium and could walk to both. Lots of nutty people there and you'll probably get asked for money. Got to see St Louis PD crime scene unit in action right next to the hotel in Busch stadiums parking lot. There was a breast cancer awareness walk the Saturday we stayed there and one of the participants must of had their car broken into so the cops were there.
We did go to the zoo as well which is free but you'll have to pay for parking.

Had a homeless crazy person talking to himself and staring at us then laid down on a bench and took a nap.
We were there less than a full day.

Let us know if you survive, if we don't hear from ya we'll know why.

If its a nice day take a drive/walk/picnic in lone elk park. A drive through the loop takes about
30 mins. Can see elk, bison, and usually some whitetails. Its free. The wild bird sanctuary is there also. It requires paid admission.

A tour of the AB brewery is worth seeing as well. Its free.

Annie Gunns in Chesterfield is where you'll find the best steak dinner. Requires a fat wallet but you wont be disappointed. Pappys or Bogarts for best BBQ.

Forest park, Central West End, The Loop, and Webster Groves area is full of butt hurt woke liberals with purple hair and ugly pets.

I recommend going to the City Museum. I've been twice. Parts of it are like a giant, human sized hamster habitat. There's a 6 story, spiral slide, exhibits and all sorts of random things to explore.

2 x on city museum. And fyi the arch has metal detectors and no storage place before you have to walk through them. Tsa was meaning them. I cracked the door and asked if they had storage and they were do you have a gun on you now mode, I never stepped inside it's a good thing. Needless to say I will never get to go up in the arch.

LEAVE!

Pine Lawn is a must see neighborhood in the hood lol after working in that city for 35 years plus my advice is to see your concert and split these idiots play for keeps

St. Louis is like Chicago and most other major US cities in that as long as you stay out of the black and Hispanic areas and away from nearby areas to those, with public transport, your chances of being a victim of crime are low.

The 3 times I went to St. Louis, I had a good time. I went with friends. We bought gas before entering the city. We stayed out of non white areas.

There are very few "Non White" areas around that have anything to really do.

Visit the Budweiser brewery. Attend their beer college.
