Kobe Steak House of Japan
Great place to take a crowd of friends to and watch them prepare the food right in front of you. Plus they are quite entertaining. We’ve had a blast there everytime regardless of it being a group of friends or group of out of town co-workers in for business meetings .. always fun.
Chihuahua’s Restaurant
Really good Mexican food at an affordable price. Plus they have great margaritas
Edward “Ted” and Pat Jones-Confluence Point State Park
Where two mighty rivers meet. This state park is rather small as state parks go, and is more notable for its history and geological significance than its beauty. Driving from St. Louis to Alton, Il, you’ll come to a great area for eagle watching in the winter. You’ll have to drive a ways off the [...]
City Museum
A great museum for the kids. It is filled with animals (some you can pet), caves for the kids to climb in, free crafts, and slides. It will cost you a small fee to get in but it is worth it when the kids are having a good time so check it out.
Booger Hollow
If you happen to find yourself passing through Arkansas and just happen to be traveling highway 7, I recommend passing through this interesting little town. Sure it might make you feel just a tad weird but we found it interesting all the same.
The Butterfly House
Extremely neat place to visit and see some of the most beautiful butterflies flying all around you as you walk through a manmade natural habitat made just for them. In addition there’s a really old carousel that has been rebuilt that you have to let the kids take a ride on.
Eckerts Farm
Really cool place to take the kids and pick your own fruit. Check out their website for a list of what’s in season so you can make plans to go. Make sure and grab a bite at the country restaurant while you’re there.
Their website has a schedule showing when the fruits are ripe for picking.
Here’s [...]
Growler’s Pub
Great place to kick back and catch a Rams games on a Sunday afternoon and an even better place to have a blackened grouper. I get that every time, plus kids eat free on Sundays … what a deal.
The Science Center
Wow! The Science Center offers many things for children, and adults, to explore. The Science Center spotlights themes such as, astronomy, dinosaurs, transportation, and much more on a regular basis. This is a must see!
Grant’s Farm
At Grant’s Farm, children can see and pet many different types of animals. You can walk around the park or catch the train. Grant’s Farm is also home to the famous Budweiser Clydesdale horses the world has grown to love.
