STLCC’s Spring Break begins at the end of this week. If you find yourself with nothing to do on your upcoming week off school then according to “Explore St. Louis” here are some fun places to go.
- The St. Louis Zoo is the perfect place to walk around to get fresh air and look around at all the animals throughout each exhibit and building. Plus, it’s free to enter, although parking is $10 for regular vehicles and $20 for oversized.
- If you haven’t gone to check out the newer amenities at Union Station then Spring Break would be the perfect time to try it out. While you’re there you could try the ferris wheel and the aquarium. According to the St. Louis Aquarium’s website the aquarium and the wheel are $40 for adults.
- Going to the movies is perfect for relaxing in those big comfy chairs with your overpriced popcorn, slushies and candy. You could go see the movie you’ve been wanting to see or see a movie you’ve already seen but can’t get enough of it. The movie theater nearest to campus is Ronnies 20 Cinema, and ticket prices on Tuesday are reduced compared to other days of the week.
- Bowling is always fun. You could make a whole day out of it, bowling 3 rounds then working your appetite to the bowling alley food. A nearby place is Concord Bowling which according to the website on Monday thru Thursday before 4pm is $3 per game and person and $4 for shoes. Anytime after 4pm on those days and on weekends is $4 for both shoes, games, and players.
- You could go mini golfing and play 18 different holes. A perfect game to get rid of your frustrations and to play with your loved ones. A nearby place is Aloha Mini Golf and Shaved Ice. According to their website it’s $8 for unlimited play. The shaved ice is between 3 and 6 dollars.
- Grants Farm in Affton is another great chance to get some fresh air and to look around at the animals. When visiting, you can go to the goat den and feed the goats, check out the animal shows or just enjoy a nice afternoon on a giant Beer Garden patio.
- Going to a park near you is always a good free option, as it allows you to get some fresh air and some exercise. At the park you could walk around nature or walk on the trails. You could also bust out your bike and bike around the park on the trail. Or you could have a picnic or even do a craft there, plus the people watching is always good on busy days.
