We eventually withdrew him from his local public school and found GFA. It worked out really well. He found a great group of friends and was academically challenged. The teachers really cared about him and despite its small size, there were enough extra curriculars and clubs to keep him engaged. I strongly recommend this school if the public school is not a good fit for your child or you are looking for them to be challenged. The Teachers go out of their way to create classes to meet the needs of the students, and the results and college acceptances prove that.

We have been buying mulch here for years and were very satisfied, however this past week we bought…read moreblack dyed mulch that turned back to its natural color in 1 day. We bought 5 yards and spent hours spreading it. A day later it rained and it completely washed the color away. It is natural looking now and after calling on three separate occasions we were told to read our receipt. There's no guarantee. First of all the receipt doesn't state that and while I get they can't guarantee everything, this is obviously a dye issue that they don't want to fix. We paid extra for dyed mulch not natural brown. They offered to let us buy two more yards at half the price. Why would be buy more that could possibly do the same thing. We have always loved the quality until this last time. We will be taking our business elsewhere. The first person we talked to was super nice but the last one was extremely rude.

Staff is available if you need help but if you like to do things on your own, you can totally do that. I check out the new releases, the semi new releases and the head upstairs to check out the magazines and cookbooks. Back downstairs to self checkout and I am on my way with my bag of fun reads!

They have an auto book return at the front (the kids love it), tons and tons of events for adults and children always going on. The staff is very nice and helpful. There are self checkout counters which are super easy to use. The kids area is where we spend the most time. There's a closed off area with big windows - they seem to rotate the big toy in the middle every few weeks (big blocks, doll house, giant connect 4, connect blocks, etc.). They have wonderful selection of books. There's also magnatiles, coloring area, etc. so fun! Great for all days! Also they're open until 8pm M-Th!

I particularly enjoy being able to check out periodicals, including architecture and fashion magazines. The beautifully restored building and extensive collection make this one of my favorite places to visit downtown.

It's because it's out of the way that makes me largely ambivalent about recommending a visit. However, it's free, which is a major benefit for families on a tight budget. But, you'll burn gas to find it. It's small, so you may only spend an hour viewing the various birds, a few reptiles, and small mammals. Exhibits are mostly outdoors--good because a strong stench dominated the indoor exhibits. Young staff were on hand to answer questions. Signs also explained why wildlife were caged here. Most wound up here due to serious injuries; others due to becoming socialized to humans and unable to long survive in the wild.

Tower Grove Park is a very special place in St. Louis with many amenities. First of all, there are…read morelots of sidewalks that allow you to walk all around the part. Parking is free along the streets, as marked. There are pavillions that can be rented. There is a regular Farmer's Market, as well as fairs/festivals that take place here throughout the year. There is a fountain where lots of people take photos and a glass enclosed building that is popular for wedding receptions. You will find kickball/softball fields, a playground, and much more. I do recommend you cross streets with caution (don't be staring at your phone!). People often drive fast through the park and you could get hit by a car if you aren't paying attention. Also, keep your dogs leashed.

It would be great if the windows were larger so you could see a little bit more, but it's someplace everyone should visit once. If you are claustrophobic, the capsule ride to the top may not be the easiest trip, but it's worth a little three minutes of discomfort. We had a great guide. She was friendly and knowledgeable. It was over 100° when we were here and the inside was cool and comfortable despite the heat

My first time visiting the Gateway Arch, and I'm so glad I finally got to see it up close!…read more I've seen this thing from about 10,000 feet, but seeing it from the ground is a completely different experience. The architecture is seriously impressive, and I loved getting close enough to actually see the welding beads in the stainless steel. It made me stop and think about how in the world they actually put this massive thing together. There's something really cool about seeing the little details on something that looks so impossibly perfect from a distance. Parking on a Saturday afternoon was not exactly easy, so thankfully a friend dropped us off and we were able to walk around, get a closer look, and take some photos without turning the visit into a parking expedition. We didn't go up to the observation area this time. I'm not entirely convinced I'm ready to be packed into a tiny tram going up inside the Arch. But I think I'd like to give it a try someday. I also had no idea there was an underground museum! Apparently I need to do a little more research before my next visit because I definitely want to check that out too. Overall, this is one of those places that really lives up to its iconic status. It was fun finally getting to see it from ground level instead of through an airplane window. If you're visiting St. Louis for the first time, definitely make a stop here. Even if you just walk around the Arch, it's worth seeing up close.
