Once the hot and humid summer in St. Louis arrives, it is all too easy to sit at home and make the full use of your precious AC system. Although it is nice to relax and stay cool, it is well worth the effort to get out of the house and visit some of the marvels around town. Below are some things to do in summer in St. Louis to get you out of your home (and maybe even help you save on AC bills while you are out!).
Work on Your Home or Garden
That “before summer to-do list” has been accumulating has been growing longer and longer. Now is the ideal time to catch up and knock a few items off the list before summer in St. Louis starts heating up.
For example, routine maintenance on your HVAC system can be a godsend when summer in St. Louis is in full-swing. No one wants to be left sweating it out, and an emergency air conditioner repair can be costly. Now is the time to go through a maintenance checklist or have a professional come out to make sure everything is running perfectly, so small issues do not turn into big problems during the scorching St. Louis summer.
Explore the Missouri Botanical Garden
This is a great way to keep the kids content for a few hours during summer in St. Louis. From the Children’s Garden to the Climatron for an authentic rainforest experience, to the many waterfalls and all of the exotic plants scattered around, you and your family are sure to have a relaxing time exploring the full 79 acres of lush gardens. When you finally tire of exploring, you can rest your feet in the serene Japanese Garden.
Watch the St. Louis Cardinals
Why not take in a game and support the World Champions, the St. Louis Cardinals? There is no better time to cheer them on than summer in St. Louis when they are at a home game in the Busch Stadium. For adults and kids alike, this can be one of the best and most talked about events during a summer break.
Take in Grant’s Farm
This is one St. Louis summer activity not just for the kids! There are tons of activities for everyone of all ages at Grant’s Farm. There are rides, shows, and a chance for children to get up close and personal with some of the animals.
When it comes to refreshment time, the whole family can escape the St. Louis summer heat in the Bauernhof (German for “farmstead”), although guests over 21 are invited to taste the samples of Anheuser-Busch beers.
