There are a lot of wonderful things you can see and do in St. Louis, if you plan to arrive early. We may be doing some of these things throughtout the week before the cookout (see the Cookout Events section). If you plan to show up early, let us know; here are just some of our top suggestions:
Adrenaline Zone and Demolition Ball
Big arcade with bumper cars and Demolition Ball (kind-of a team game you play in multi-person bumper cars mounted with cannons that shoot balls). It's wicked cool.
Funny Bone Comedy Club
Cool standup comedy club. A bit pricy to get in.
Gateway International Raceway
If there's a race in town, you can go see it!
Maryland Heights Aquaport
A very nice water park.

Imagine a huge multi-level indoor and outdoor go-cart racing track, arcade and NASCAR themed place. It's amazing.

What list would be complete without this world famous amusement park? Includes a water park, Huricane Harbor.
St. Louis Mills Mall
Giant fricken mall with tons of stuff including the hockey rink the Blues practice at, a go-cart place and a gamer shop. This place isn't the biggest in the world, but it'll tire you out.
