About this listen
We are rolling along and finally get to a place we can see some really cool things.
DraftKings at Casino Queen RV Park.
We parked acoss the river from St. Louis and have a view of the Arch, but we took the time to go walk the area as well.
St. Louis offers a unique mix of American history, modern attractions, and a deep-rooted love for baseball—and the heart of all this action is centered around Downtown St. Louis, where you’ll find the Gateway Arch, Busch Stadium, and a vibrant surrounding district. ⸻ 🏛️ Gateway Arch: The Icon of the Midwest The Gateway Arch is the tallest man-made monument in the U.S., standing 630 feet tall, and symbolizes St. Louis’s role as the “Gateway to the West.” Highlights: • Tram Ride to the Top: You can take a small pod-like tram ride all the way to the top for panoramic views of the Mississippi River and the city skyline. • Museum at the Gateway Arch: A modern, interactive museum beneath the Arch explores westward expansion, Native American history, and St. Louis’s founding. • Gateway Arch National Park: Includes beautifully landscaped grounds, riverfront walking paths, and riverboat cruises nearby. 🛈 Pro tip: Book tram tickets in advance, especially during peak travel season or Cardinals games. ⸻ ⚾ Busch Stadium: Home of the St. Louis Cardinals Just a short walk from the Arch, Busch Stadium is the home of the St. Louis Cardinals, one of the most storied franchises in Major League Baseball. What Makes It Special: • Great skyline views from inside the stadium, with the Arch in the background—especially striking during night games. • Electric atmosphere—Cardinals fans are known for being passionate and loyal, yet friendly to visiting fans. • Ballpark Village right next door adds even more to the game day experience. ⸻ 🏙️ Ballpark Village: Dining, Entertainment & Nightlife Ballpark Village is a mixed-use district adjacent to Busch Stadium designed for fans and tourists alike. What You’ll Find: • Sports bars, rooftop seating, and restaurants like Cardinals Nation, Brew House, and PBR St. Louis. • Live music, event nights, and massive TVs during games—even when the Cardinals are away. • A fun place to walk, dine, and hang out whether you’re going to the game or not.
