Meet in Forest Park in St. Louis in winter. Walking in Forest Park, passing by the History Museum, Art Museum, Zoo, and Science Museum. Along the way, there are people running in shorts, cyclists, fishermen by the lake, and people playing golf and tennis... There is such a large forest park in the city center, and there are many places for entertainment. People regard exercise and enjoying the sun and outdoor air as part of their lives. I am a little embarrassed to wear a sweater and trousers.
It was my first time to visit the forest park. It covers a large area. I only walked a small part of it in more than 2 hours. It was autumn, and the leaves were red, which was particularly beautiful against the blue sky! I visited the museum, but I could only understand the Asian part.

This is a family park and has something for everyone. It’s pricey but they are always investing in new things and in improvements.
I love visiting this place every year, especially when the fall craft fair is on. We were lucky enough to see the pumpkins in action, which was great for the kids. There were lots of craft vendors and different food options. The fee is about $75 for people over 12, so if you're going back, buy a season pass. You'll need hiking shoes.
