This center services both, Amtrak and MCT (Madison County Transit). So it makes it real easy for…read moreyou to take a bus here and catch a train to your next destination. The station is kept super clean on the inside and the grounds outside are landscaped nicely. Amtrak has agents on duty 7 days a week and they are there, 7AM till 7PM. MCT does not have anyone in their office, but there are plenty of brochures explaining all the different bus routes available. This station is big city quality in a small city. Only thing missing is a coffee shop and a small food court, but they do have vending machines. Happy Travels!

Love this station. Always immaculate and the employees that work are always very helpful…read more Lobby, bathroom, seating always nice and clean Keep up the good work guys , and just a side note. I had the wonderful experience of chatting with the clerk at this location. What a wonderful outgoing spirit We talked about kids and family. What a beautiful experience I had all waiting for my train home. I won't give her name but she knows who she is Thanks for the great conversation :)

We stopped by on a whim when visiting the in-laws. It happened to be the anniversary & there were…read moreperiod actors interacting that were set up throughout, with assorted stations. This was both cool & informative. There was no entry fee, always a plus. The info desk had a guest book. It appeared most visitors who signed were from Illinois. The movie wasn't playing during our visit, I'm not sure if there was a mechanical issue or if it was because of the special celebration. So, I can't speak on it. It's smaller than I expected, yet very interesting & I did learn a few new details. We walked out to the cabins/fort & they were all locked with some of them having the roofs/walls collapsed. Perhaps an entry fee is in order for maintenance/upkeep. Overall, worth a stop, especially for those interested in the expedition.

Actually I had lunch at the High Flyers Grille inside of the Airport. This was a business luncheon,…read morefor the Riverbend Growth Association. The tables were nicely arranged, everyone had a good view of the speakers. It was a buffet style lunch. Salad with cheese, sweet peppers, slices of big red onions and a homemade home dressing. It reminded me of the salad from Imo's. We had mostacolli with cheese and grilled chicken breast. A small roll was available at the end of the table. It seemed like an odd combination but it had a nice taste. I dont know what they have on the menu, as far as other food items. The place does have a bar,which boasted Natty Lights for $1.50 per bottle or $5 pitcher of draft Natty Light. I was told they stay busy with the small aircraft that flies in and out of the airport.

OK we all know you go to a restaurant for great food at a reasonable price. The blue cheese,…read morebacon, chicken sandwich is both! Add to that a great beer selection, a view of an active runway, and great service, this is the place. I guarantee if you like good food, great beer, and a fun place, you will love the the High Flyers Grill at the St Louis regional airport (free parking!)

I've spent a lot of time here, usually at a study desk on the second floor. I'm surprised by how…read moremany chairs and tables usually are available, except during finals time. The library shows its age, but the fact it looks like my old undergrad library is probably one reason I keep going back. Parking may be an issue for some. There are usually spaces in Lot B, and you can pay by charge card. But it costs $1.00/hour.

I go here almost every day. There's always an open chair or desk to use. I always go to the second…read morefloor where the quiet area is. It's pretty amazing how the group study area is on the same floor only a few isles down and you can't hear any noise from the quiet area.

We enjoyed a visit to the largest archaeological site in the U.S…read more Quick visit advice: Park at the visitor center or across the street at Monk's Mound (if there are any spots in this smaller lot). Walk to and up Monk's Mound, which is the largest. I recommend reading the signs about the history of the mounds. Background: I visited just after finishing a book called "America Before" by Graham Hancock. He extensively covers the geoglyphs (mounds) across the Americas and describes their site-line survey complexity. They are basically dirt mound versions of Stonehenge, and line up with solar events during the equinoxes. The amount of precision from an ancient hunter-gatherer society is absolutely fascinating. I highly recommend a read before visiting.

We were in the area so we had to go check this place out, right? The history along should garner…read moreinterest. Pulling up, my kids were not amused. "What's with the big hill dad?" Oh kids... I mean it does look like just a big hill but... As a history buff, I thought it was kind of cool. We climbed the stairs to the top (great work out, a couple folks were doing just that) to get a view of the area. Not much at all is built up around this area, the small town that it is located in is barely a blip before you enter the St. Louis metropolitan area. It is actually pretty remarkable how rural this area is being only miles outside of St. Louis. Anyways, I tried to get my kids to understand that the people that built these mounds did not have Bobcats, dump trucks, or any huge equipment. We are talking woven baskets and such. Still not impressed. At least we stood on the top and say we have been there. I suggest you do the same. Check it off the list and say you once stood on one of the tallest pre-Columbian structures in North America. Can't say that every day!
