10:00
Head to the Missouri History Museum in the Jefferson Memorial Building. It opens at 10:00 on Tuesdays through Sundays, so you can start right when the doors open. Explore the permanent exhibits, including the replica of the Spirit of St. Louis and the history of the 1904 Worlds Fair.
11:00
Walk one minute to Amighetti’s for a bite to eat. This American restaurant is open from 10:00 to 17:00, making it a convenient spot for lunch right after your museum visit.
11:40
Take a 20-minute walk south-southeast to the Jewel Box in Forest Park. This Art Deco greenhouse is a quiet, beautiful place to stroll and enjoy the gardens.
Local tip
The museum is closed on Mondays. If you visit on a weekday, the Panorama restaurant is also an option, but it closes at 14:00, so Amighetti’s is the safer bet for a relaxed lunch.
