 Seekers of the naked truth come here |
Grand and Russell Avenues (5600 Clayton Avenue inside Forest Park [Parks Office]) St. Louis, MO 63110 United States +1 314 289 5330 http://stlouis.missouri.org/ci... |
Compton Hill Reservoir Park was dedicated in 1867 and spans about 36 acres. The Naked Truth, a controversial statue, draws many onlookers. Local families enjoy outings here, as do many travelers seeking a historical interlude. With a rest area, a playground, tennis courts and a basketball court, the park offers many activity choices. Its location next to the reservoir adds to the ambience of the park. Now run by the Parks Department, Compton Hill hosts many group events, but permits are required for these.

Cruise the Mississippi River on a paddleboat |
800 North First St St. Louis, MO 63102 United States +1 314 621 4040 |
The Mississippi River has long beckoned adventurers to ride its mighty currents. Here you can board a paddle wheeler, the Tom Sawyer or the Becky Thatcher and take a step back in time to the era of Mark Twain. The slow-moving vessels offer perfect vantage points for sightseeing, while the riverboat captain narrates the tour and points out attractions and historic sights as they steam past. Take the less expensive daytime cruise ($9.00 for adults, $4.00 for children) or spend a little more for the dinner cruise or the helicopter tours. Review © 2007, Wcities |
