See full size image
See full size imageThe Fox theater is home to one of St. Louis residents favorite places for entertainment. The Fabulous Fox host numerous events from proms to plays, from concerts to seminars. The Fox theater located near St, Louis university is about ten min from downtown St. Louis which leaves visitors room for  a "fabulous" night out.

When the Fox first opened in 1929 over 5500 people opened this amazing theater, now the fox can seat just over 4000 not including box seating and standing room if necessary. The Fox offers many different seating options that fans can choose from, ranging in price, depth, and width in the theater. Personally I have sat just about everywhere. If you like to be up close and personal with the orchestra and the actors then the floor seating is the best option. Did i mention that students can "rush" a show and get half off floor seats. I did it for Rent and it was amazing! If I had to choose, however, lower balcony (for best price) and mezzanine (for best view) is the way to go. Not only do you get to see all the beautiful details inside the building but the view is amazing. A person can sit higher and view the entire stage and depending on the performance the orchestra.

To this day I have been to too many shows to count simply becasue i absolutly love the experience. My dad and I have sorta made the Fox our special place. Anytime a new show or one of our favoite shows would come through town we would go. The last show we saw was Phantom of the Opera, just happened to be my second time seeing it, but it was AMAZING!!!

If you are a show person and love the theater i encourage you to vist the Fabulous Fox Theater!

See full size imageOne of the most famous tourist attractions in St. Louis the Gateway Arch, which is why St. Louis has been named "The Gateway to The West."

There are so many amazing things you can do when you visit the Arch. First, the Arch grounds are a beautiful place to hang out with the family. Right along the riverfront and grassy greens compliment the amazing Arch structure and beauty. It also is conveniently located downtown St. Louis, within walking distance from many great restaurants and shops. Second, inside the Arch bottom is a gift shop and the Museum of Western Expansion. This exhibit gives customers an in depth history lesson on the Lewis and Clark Expedition, animals of the west, and much more. Lastly, making your way to the top of this historical monument is a MUST! Tickets are a very reasonable price and are set by times. On your way to the trams that lead you 630 feet up, you can tour the entire building process of the Arch and its grounds. Finally, you take about a 3min ride up one of the legs and reach the top. At the top you can look out one sides and see Illinois and the river, and the other side a perfect view of Busch Stadium and downtown St. Louis.
