    STL is blessed with amazing parks and this is definitely one of them. TGP is an amazing spot to wander through the trees in the center of the city. There's ample space for athletic activities, picnics, walking, relaxing, and soaking in the vibes. Depending on the time of year you can catch gorgeous flowers or the fall foliage at its best. I also love it because it does so much for community- there are so many events including the iconic farmers market on Saturdays in the warm months. If you haven't visited, it's a must!

    Walking through TGP makes for a great, scenic walk especially with less foot traffic and ample parking. I love walking on the eastern side of the park with the various types of scenery that it has to offer, and the fountain is one of my favorite views of this park, especially in the Spring and Fall seasons. The only downside is maneuvering around all of the goose droppings.

    Love Tower Grove, however please give attention to the older children's playground! I noticed while there with my preschoolers that there pointy shards of rust and broken steps.

    Such a beautiful park. There are walking trails around the park. There are plenty of pretty flowers to take pictures of and there are kids playgrounds for kids to play. Our dog Chloe love the fountain. There are also events here. Farmer markets are usually here on certain Saturday mornings. Last week they had festival of nations which was nice.

    Not much going on today with on and off rain but I stopped by and had an explore of this fabulous park. The land was donated in 1868 by Henry Shaw who made his fortune here in Saint Louis selling supplies to pioneers. The park is 289 acres and extends more than a mile and a half from end to end. There are a number of pavilions and I only spotted a couple of them today during my exploration. The park also has tennis courts, softball fields, soccer paths and I enjoyed some of the paths that are suitable for walking and cycling. There is parking throughout as the roadways are quite wide. In addition to being home to nearly 400 species of flora, it is a bird-watching area as it is part of the Mississippi Flyway used by many different migrating birds. There are a number statues and monuments throughout the park including Shakespeare. The Columbus statue was removed after some controversy in 2020.

    Park is my favorite park in St. Louis. It's a very active park. They have a farmers market, sip and strolls, events at the Piper Palm House all the time. There's a lot going on at Tower Grove Park. It's an excellent walking park. And it's excellent for family events. It has several rentable pavilions.

    Attended the Festival of Nations and I enjoyed the chicken masala from Afghanistan and a tamale from Belize. The tamale was unlike no other that I've had because it contained a big chicken bone in the tamale.

    Beautiful park! Huge, with ample street parking...at least there was on a weekday. The grounds were lovely, beautiful trees and flowers abound. Great place to take a stroll or laze in the shade.

    How fortunate to have stayed only 2 blocks from this fantastic outdoor space during our vacation to St. Louis! The 1.6 mile linear park is a National Historic Landmark with large open green spaces in the center for activities (soccer, softball, etc) that is flanked by numerous monuments, statues, gazebos, pavilions, benches, and more. There are over 400 species of flowers, shrubs, and trees within the park. This is a perfect place to picnic (we took advantage!), cycle, jog, dog-walk, or simply sit with a good book and cup of joe and relax! I understand that it is host to many outdoor concerts, events, and weddings. Of course there tennis courts, playgrounds for the small ones, and even a wading pool and horse stable! There are food trucks on Fridays and a farmers market on Saturday morning. The park is dog-friendly (leashed of course). This park is an absolute jewel and the locals are fortunate for its presence!

    I feel very lucky to live so close to such a beautiful park! Every season has its perks but for beauty alone, fall and spring are my favorites - you can really get lost in the lovely spring flowers or gorgeous fall colors. The ponds by the ruins are also a neat place to people watch or feed the ducks and on the weekends, loads of people filter in to take wedding or prom pictures..it can be amusing. In the summer it's fun to picnic, rent a pavilion or catch one of the iconic fests such as The Festival of Nations, TG Pride, The Pagan Festival and so much more. The Farmers Market has also grown so much and it's a nice way to spend a Saturday morning - shopping, having a bite or a cocktail and listening to live music. Close to Christmas, The Piper Palm House which hosts a wonderful brunch year round, transforms into Frosted, a holiday pop up bar and it's soo adorable! I almost forgot to mention the horses and carriage rides though the park! They only have 2 horses and truly take good care of them. This is the only place I would ever consider taking a carriage ride because I know the horses are well cared for and live a happy life at the park. There's a little something for everyone at TGP!

    What a gorgeous day to walk the park!

    Always beautiful with activities galore. St. Louis has some of the best parks in the country and this is my zen place choice of them!

    Fall colors

    I came here specifically to walk and enjoy the fall foliage. I loved that they have a 3.4 mile paved trail and it is fairly flat (easier for my dog to walk). The foliage did not disappoint - it was very pretty! There are many openings to get into the park and that makes some of the driving areas one way, but it's still very easy to get around. They were having a big pokemon event while I was there but it seemed well organized and most people were in a specific area looking for the pokemon. It didn't really impact the walking trail at all. Note that I dropped it one star because I didn't see any boards anywhere in this park that showed the trails and/or how to get to the different areas in the park. Because there are many entrances and therefore walking ways for pedestrians to those entrances, parts of the walking trail were difficult to know where to follow.

    This park stressed me out and grove me to drink

    So into this review I dove To rave about this park, and I rove Of the gorgeous wild trees And that one dude who pees In the bushes here at Tower Grove This is the most beautiful park in St Louis - of those I've visited - and one of many reasons why St. Louis is an underrated city with a lot of great things hidden around the city, here and there. It's also a massive city, and this kind of park is exactly what the city needs. Definitely my favourite Park in St Louis, out of all the ones I've been to.

The tram ride up is one of the most unique experiences. It's weird but also a cool sensation where you're moving sideways and upward at the same time, around 3 mph. The ride down feels slightly faster for some reason. Each tram fits a maximum of 5 people (or 6 with a baby in lap), so it is a snug little pod. If you or someone in your group has claustrophobia, I wouldn't let it stop you. Some of my friends have mild claustrophobia and they were fine. The tour guides while you're waiting in line are enthusiastic and keep things fun. I appreciated them. Once you get to the top, you have about 8 to 10 minutes to take in the view through these little windows that kind of make you feel like you're looking out of a plane. The view of the river is nice and you can spot planes and ships from up there. While you're waiting for your time slot or even after, there's a really nice Missouri history museum section at the entrance worth browsing through. Don't skip the gift shop, it's worth a quick stop. The grounds under the arch are a full park, so it's a great excuse to just be outside and enjoy the space. Perfect for families, friends, or anyone who wants a fun and easy way to spend some time in the city.

Keep that in mind, totally empty your pockets to avoid an embarrassment. Loved the tiny tram ride to the top and back down again. The museum under the park is amazing and well done. The gift shop is well appointed and prices aren't too bad at all. The cafe also isn't too bad. Just watch your receipts. I got over charged and heard it's happened fairly recently with a few other people. Will certainly come back again and explore some more.

We didn't know if we could get on the tour that day so we first stopped by to see it and take some pictures. We met an intern and found out that we could get in on a tour about 2 hours later. So we paid our fee and went to see Frank Lloyd Wright's mentor, Louis Sullivan's Wainwright Building in downtown St. Louis. I believe this is one of Sullivan's best work still standing. When we returned for the tour I was stunned. This is a great, late house by Wright that has many magical and playful elements to it. It's has most of the original furnishings and something totaling unexpected in a Usonian house--art glass windows. The tour guide was new and did an excellent. Everyone involved in this project should be very proud of the work they've done, and continue to do.
