If you'd like to learn more about St. Louis without wearing down the soles of your shoes, hop on board one of Gateway Riverboat Cruises' paddle wheelers and float through the city via the Mississippi River. The ship's captain offers narration on the city's rich history and points out sites of interest. Another way to save your feet, yet still get some exercise during nice weather, is a bicycle ride through the seven-mile course at Forest Park, which takes bikers past the zoo and museums. Bike rentals are available here. For a true "overview" of the city, you can book a helicopter tour with Midwest Aeronautical and enjoy a breathtaking aerial tour narrated by a certified pilot.

Gateway Riverboat Cruises


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.
