Pick up a coffee or pastry at MoKaBe's Coffeehouse. It is just a short walk from the viewing spot and open late, so you can grab your drink and head out with time to spare.

Stupp Center at Tower Grove Park
Walk to the Stupp Center. This spot is aligned with the sunset for the dates in mid-April. Arrive early to claim a good seat on the steps or near the entrance where the line of sight to the setting sun is clear.

Stupp Center at Tower Grove Park
Watch the sun set directly behind Tower Grove Park. The golden light builds in the sky before the sun dips below the horizon around 19:30 local time.
20:00
End the evening with a drink or meal at LA CRAZY Margarita. It is a very short walk from the Stupp Center and open until 21:30 on weekdays or 22:30 on weekends, perfect for winding down after the sunset.
Local tip
