St. Louis is hot in the summer! - Valerie Mellema. Date of travel: Jun 2006
I have been to St. Louis a few times in my life. The most recent trip was a couple of years ago when we went to a St. Louis Cardinals vs. Chicago Cubs baseball game in June. It was so hot! I don't recommend going if you're on a tight budget, because you’re going to spend a lot in beverages, mainly water and snow cones! No beer at this game because you're going to be dehydrated before the game starts. The game was great and the Cubs won! Before the game we stopped at the Arch and took pictures. It's really amazing to see in person. St. Louis is such a large city and the Arch looms over the entire city and the Mississippi River. Busch Stadium is also unique because it creates a perfect picture frame for the Arch in the background. Perhaps the coolest thing about St. Louis was the Budweiser Factory. You can tour it and see how they make their beer. You also get to see the Budweiser Clydesdales. They are truly beautiful and, yes, they really do have Dalmatians there! The dogs hang out with the barn managers and follow them and the horses all around. At the end of the tour, you get to go to the hospitality room and try samples of the freshest beer there is.
