Some of my favorite memories are spending summer weekend nights at the Muny. Located in Forest Park. My dad and mom used to take me all the time when i was younger and the traditions only continued as i grew older. Now every summer i come my dad and I try to see at  least one show. We distinguish it as a father daughter night which includes dinner in the park from our favorite on the Hill restaurant and a great musical.

The Muny is an outdoor Opera House in the beautiful Forest Park, about ten min. from downtown. Forest Park includes attractions such as; The St. Louis Zoo, Science Center, Sculpture Park, ponds, playgrounds, and more. The Muny is only open during the summer season and is centered around the performing arts. Every summer the company come out with a series of 6-7 musicals to highlight the season. Other activities such as weddings, graduations, school plays, local theater companies also use the great Muny setting to host events. There is a variety of seating options, everything from free seating to the upper price of orchestra seating, concessions are available, as well as pre-show performance from local St. Louis groups.

If you want to get away for a night of music and fun, something different, visit the Muny. Trust me it will be worth your time and provide with amazing family/friends memories.
