The Museums of St. Louis

We have big plans for the day today, so we got up early and went to Snarf's Sandwiches for breakfast. It's a pretty cozy environment here. The menu is mainly made up of sandwiches, and there are also many salads, soups and various snacks. We like potato salad and cheese and mushroom sandwiches.

One of the main attractions of the city is the St. Louis Art Museum, located directly in Forest Park. Various art collections from different eras and cultures are exhibited here. Besides, the expositions are not limited only to painting, there are also interesting collections of household items, sculptures and furniture. It is important to note that the museum is not open on Monday.

Another interesting attraction in Forest Park is Saint Louis Zoo. Aviaries for animals are located in an area of about 90 acres and are fully adapted to their natural habitat. Here you can see polar bears, grizzlies, penguins, orangutans, camels, eagles and many other amazing and rare species. It's also nice that the zoo is free.

After long excursions and walks around the zoo, we decided to go to the Courtesy Diner for lunch. The facility's interior is simple, but quite comfortable. Here are served such familiar dishes as sandwiches, salads, burgers, as well as various snacks, including onion rings, nachos, burritos. We chose a chef's salad and a chicken breast.

After lunch, we decided to return to Forest Park to visit another landmark place here - the Missouri History Museum. The main expositions of the museum are devoted, for the most part, to the history of St. Louis.
Here you can learn a lot about how this land was colonized, about people who put their lives to improve their city and country. Many exhibitions are complemented by an interactive component.

After lunch, we decided to stop by Citygarden Park. A walk here, of course, will not leave anyone disappointed, the garden is beautiful.
Vegetation planted along the paths attracts many insects, so it seems as if you are not in the city, but somewhere in nature. The park is also decorated with various fountains, which are illuminated in the evening, which also creates an incredible atmosphere.

We decided to have dinner at Sugarfire Smoke House. The atmosphere here is quite hospitable, the interior in general is simple, but comfortable.
Mainly meat dishes are served, there are also various snacks and salads. Pork stew, by the way, is delicious. In addition to the main courses, they took vegetable salads.

Today was a fantastic day. We made many interesting excursions to various museums, learned a lot about the city and its development, visited the zoo and walked around the city. We need to take a break now because tomorrow we have to go to Indianapolis.
