St. Louis’ favorite place to relax and unwind is undeniably Forest Park. Opened in 1876, this 1,371-acre green space is one of the largest urban parks in the country, and hosts many attractions including the St. Louis Zoo, Saint Louis Art Museum, Missouri History Museum, The Muny (a municipal theatre), and Shakespeare Festival of St. Louis, among others. It is also a fabulous place to walk; I have personally spent countless hours wandering the trails of the John F. Kennedy Forest and beyond.
