From the Arch we walked through here to find an eatery very pleasant and has some statues and good water features. I imagine a great place for office workers to go during the week for lunch

Also look for the awesome music! Jim Stevens Band with amazing SAX is close by! Kids will love the City Garden area. Then run off to Union Station! Feed the fish and turtles under the canopy!

Tucked away in downtown St. Louis Mo is this fun, eclectic area, full of natural beauty mixed with scultures and water features. Interesting for all ages, this is a great place to meet up with friends, relax during lunch, or let your kids explore. There is a nice cafe in the garden, and other restaurants nearby. Beautiful during all seasons,... More

Great fun for kids and adults! If the day is warm, kick off your shoes, rolls up your pants and have fun playing in the dancing water garden. If you are into photography, this is a must-see/snap. Great for all ages and accessible to all!

Small but nice. The little restaurant is good there called Joe's Chili bowl. The kids had fun running around and it was safe. It was a pleasant break while walking around.

We stayed at a hotel right across from the Arch and decided to walk down to the city garden on our first night. My children ages 9, 6, and 2 all loved it. They had a great time looking at all of the art, acting and dancing on the active display, and walking across the water on the stepping stones.... More

If you find yourself in downtown St. Louis take a few moments to stroll through the gardens there is something neat for be found by all ages. Kick off your shoes and get your toes wet in the fountains, it's OK kick some water around!

This garden is a little oasis in the middle of the city. Great sculpture with a wide range of pieces to look at. The art is combined with cool fountains, beautiful landscaping. Kid friendly too. We wandered over to it and really enjoyed the visit.
