Missouri Botanical Garden

"Every year the Garden is a place for many cultural festivals including the Japanese Festival and the Chinese Culture Days by the St. Louis Modern Chinese School. During this time, there are showcases of the culture's botanics as well as cultural arts, crafts, music and food. "

Lake of the Ozarks

"At the time of construction, it was one of the largest man-made lakes in the world and the largest in the United States. Although originally built to provide hydroelectric power for customers of Union Electric, the lake quickly became a significant tourist destination for the Midwest. There are over 70,000 homes existing along the lake, many of which are vacation homes. Spectacular scenery characteristic of the Ozarks has also helped to transform the lake into a major resort area. More than 3 million people visit the lake annually. "

City Museum

"City Museum is a unique destination that is popular among both St. Louis residents and tourists. It bills itself as an "eclectic mixture of children's playground, funhouse, surrealistic pavilion, and architectural marvel." "
