How are you doing the Cinco de Mayo dinner cruise which was from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM. Upon entering, it was very professionally set up they took your name at the door and as soon as you walked in was the bar which was very convenient so you can get your drink before you sit. The two bartenders said they were fairly new, but I cannot tell they held it down all night. Drinks were on point and they were getting the line down really fast no matter how long it got. Drinks were also very reasonably priced. I don't think I paid over five dollars for any drink. As for the food, the cruise included a unlimited taco bar, which was very good. The chips were very fresh and the meat was very well seasoned. I love that they include fresh guac and fresh sour cream, which I think is the perfect addition to any taco bar! They get 5 stars from me!!

You could sit in top or bottom or stand on the bow. And if you are a kid or kid at heart, the captain with let you drive the boat. The gift shop at the harbor is nice and large. Lots to choice from and they give free wine tasting. This was great to do before the boat ride because we were able to determine which wine we liked on the boat. There is also a restaurant right there if you want to grab a bit to eat.

I've used Country Bob's APS on everything from chicken to steak to hamburgers to fish. I've used it as a sauce, I've used as a marinade, I've even used it in a bloody mary; it goes with everything. Down here in the deep south we can buy the Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce at Wal-Mart and Kroger, but it is also available via their website along with other products they offer like rubs and other sauces. Since Christmas is coming up we figured we'd order a few gift packs for relatives since CB is having a 25% off sale online, can't wait for those to get here so I can make the giftees cook us up some grub. Besides being a darn good sauce, Christ is also Country Bob's CEO!

The Reuben sandwich was a fav as well. Unique flavor. My Mom who is in her 80s wanted to go out on a boat...so whoaknowsa we may be back again If It's not raining. I'm almost ready to try one of those standing board things. I've been several times over the years, & Glad to hear that the same family that's on the interior GIANT stone fireplace is donating MILLIONs to the re-model. I hope that means the fireplace will remain. Lots of ducks, a heron & a white goose visited on the water while we were there. Came home with my own souvenir as they are selling quite a bit before they close. I saw the sale items on their Facebook page. The staff was VERY helpful, & You can pick up items for sale from 9-4.

We did the Day Fresh tour which was a fun experience. Originally wanted to do the finisher tour but…read morethe don't offer it on the weekdays so we went with the Day Fresh and enjoyed it. We got to walk around the brewery and see all the basics, including a visit to the Clydesdale's stables. You get a half pour of Bud Light or Budweiser in the brew house, get to take home a "day fresh" beer meaning they bottled it that day, and then end your tour with a cold beer of choice. Our tour guide was informative and a good sport with the jokes and questions the group had.

Drive into the campus and follow the Tour signs which take you to the Visitor Center with plenty of free parking in the lot. Walking inside is a gift shop and large lobby area where you can buy tickets or check in before your tour starts if you bought them online. Our tour guide was Larry and my group of about 14 people wandered in and out of several buildings on the campus while Larry provided a lot of interesting and historical information about Anheuser-Busch and St. Louis. We went into cold rooms where the different beers are kept in very large metal tanks along with warm rooms where the cooking process takes place. We also went to a viewing area above the bottling operation which was fascinating to watch the assembly of bottles being washed, inspected, filled, labeled and then packaged. They only brew beer when they have an order from the wholesaler ensuring freshness at its highest level. The architecture of several of the older building is quite interesting. We also stopped in the stable area where The Clydesdale's are kept seeing several of them in their stalls and one out on display. We sampled beer twice during the tour. One time in the middle of the tour and again at the end. They also gave each adult a bottle of beer to take away with them. Also at the end is a large tent area that serves food and beer and allows for relaxation. I enjoyed the tour and thought it was well worth the cost.

There's a "lake' with a fountain that is peaceful and there are plenty of spots to park and sit it take a walk and rejuvenate yourself. But the crown jewel is the YMCA right inside the park.

I saw some people fishing which I guess is popular at this park. While I was walking on the track I was taking in the scenery and enjoying all the greenery and views. The park sits close to a neighborhood and I was just admiring the homes as I made my way around the track. I noticed they had places for horseshoe and other park activities, but things seem to be closed off right now due to COVID. People were staying distanced from one another and it was easy to walk around people if I needed to. This is a great park and I can't wait to visit it again on the next nice day we get in STL.

At the fuel dock, Jackson and Jill went above and beyond--helping with pump-out, rinse-out, and even offering to take our trash. Fuel prices were very reasonable too. The marina office staff were fantastic to deal with. We were a bit uncertain about our timing and length of stay, but they were flexible and accommodating the whole way through. When we pulled into our slip, our neighbors came right out to lend a hand with docking, which gave the whole place a welcoming, community feel. The facilities are clean and well-kept, with a laundry room (two washers and two dryers at just $1 each!), a beautiful pool area, and a casual snack bar that's perfect for breakfast or lunch. The covered slips feel secure, and the location is excellent--right next to the Alton Amphitheater, where there were live events going on during our visit. Another big plus is convenience: Enterprise picked us up right at the marina for a rental car, which made exploring the area simple. All in all, Seahorse Marina is a gem on the river. Great service, friendly atmosphere, and everything you need for a comfortable stay. We'll definitely be back! Thanks, Jan & Mike, Kwiat Nights III

Impressive! My…read morecousin periodically docks his boat here. Last night, I spent the night on his boat after hosting a bridal shower over at the Cracker Factory. The property is well secured and safe. I was truly impressed with how pristine this marina was maintained. This marina is definitely upscale compared to those up closer to Grafton. Arriving late at night, I didn't have the opportunity to use the built in pool, but I'm sure it is a popular gathering place with the boating community during regular hours. The restrooms for those who are docked in the marina bays were equal to a upscale private mens health club. Ahhhh, a real shower instead of one on the boat. This marina has it all for the true boater. I'll be back? - When the cousin is docked here, I'll be here. When: April 28, 2018 Why: Sleep Over

It is a nice nature area nestled off Dalbow Road and near Highway 79. Here you have water access for your boats and jet skis. There are some spots available for picnicking and such too. I'd advise to arrive early if you intend on parking near the water access area since it has limited spacing for vehicles. The water that you will be getting in is a tributary off of the Mississippi River. Lots of people come down here to go fishing since they've got such an abundance of different fish such as bass, crappie, and catfish. Enjoy your visit!
