Six Flags St. Louis


Not an interesting name but a heck of a great time! Although I have not been to the St. Louis Six Flags in a couple of years because of college and no money, it remains one of my favorite places in St. Louis to go with hometown friends and people who visit from out of town. Six Flags St. Louis is one of the many parks in the Six Flags family of amusement parks. The Six Flags St. Louis also as an adjacent water park, Hurricane Harbor. Now I dont particularly enjoy water parks, they scare me, but people who do enjoy the giant wave pools and going down a 30foot water slide will love this place.

Getting a season pass is one of the easiest ways to save money when buying tickets for the park. A season pass pays for itself in two uses and you are your family get great deals and coupons for attractions inside the park as well as free tickets and guest passes to the theme park and Hurricane Harbor. If you choose not to go with the season pass there are always a ton of coupons floating around the St. Louis area hotels, restaurants, and shopping centers.

Whether you go with friends or bring the family there are attractions for all ages. From the ripping wood roller coaster the Boss and the Batman to those thrill seekers to the little ones in Bugs Bunny's Fort everyone is bound to have a great time.

School Bus on a building top!

Literally there is a bright yellow school bus on top of Windows off Washington (a building downtown St. Louis), this school bus represents the St. Louis City Museum where there is something for everyone. The City Museum is housed in the 600,000 square-foot former International Shoe Company and holds many different areas for children and adults to play around. Did I mention it is considered one of The Magic House's biggest competitors, so when every time I go there I must wear my "Magic House is Fun" tshirt.

One of the most noted exhibits in the museum is the enchanted caves. "Painted in mystery and textured with intrigue, the Enchanted Caves at CITY MUSEUM offer explorers of all ages an opportunity to walk, climb and crawl through the mind of a master artist."
Caves






Along with the Enchanted Cave the most popular and oldest parts of the City Museum are: MonstroCity, Toddler Town, Museum of Mystery and Mayhem, and entire outside area to climb ladders and through wire tunnels twenty feet in the area, along with new exhibits every seasons. Overall this is an amazing place to take the kids to run around and get rid of some serious energy. WARNING: Parents bring band aids, yes this place is great but kids who like to play rough may come out with some bumps and bruises, but its all in good fun!
 
Just having some fun!!!
