    I think it’s impossible to talk about St. Louis without talking about Forest Park which is close to both WashU and SLU. According to Wikipedia, “Forest Park is a public park in western St. Louis, Missouri. It is a prominent civic center and covers 1,326 acres. Opened in 1876, more than a decade after its proposal, the park has hosted several significant events, including the Louisiana Purchase Exposition of 1904 and the 1904 Summer Olympics”. In many ways, Forest Park is the heart of St. Louis, Missouri. The 1,300-acre park is home to some of the city's top cultural institutions and hosts many of the region's most popular annual events. In the summer, there are free concerts, outdoor Shakespeare, and a huge hot air balloon race. Winter means sledding down Art Hill and ice skating. Forest Park also has a large network of trails that are wonderful year-round. There’s the Saint Louis Art Museum which is free. It features more than 30,000 great works of art. Some of the works here include pieces by Picasso, Van Gogh, Monet, Jean-François Millet, and more. There’s the St. Louis Zoo which is considered to be one of the best zoos in the country and they have more than 20,000 animals and is a leader in saving endangered species and their habitats. Admission o the zoo is free. The MUNY is the oldest outdoor theater and they produce seven musicals each year which is often compared to Boadway. There’s also a six-mile dual trail. One of them is designed for joggers and walkers; the other for bicyclists. Forest Park even has its own social organization to restore, maintain and sustain it with the city. More of what it has to offer can be found here.
