Forest Park - Take Your Pick
We all know the 1873 novel by Jules Verne, "Around the World in 80 Days" … Well, we play on words with our tour on the site of the "1904 World's Fair in 80 mins" (or so) offering a "Then & Now" tour. Let us take you on a leisurely ride to all the major areas of the Worlds' Fair - known as the Louisiana Purchase Exposition - plus show you photos from yesteryear. You will learn all sorts of fun facts about the 1904 World’s Fair, with lots of great photo ops along the way as we carve on a Trikke through St. Louis' own Forest Park! We have the perfect amount of info and "just riding around" on the tour.
This is a GREAT family tour and the PERFECT way for you to meet Forest Park, one of St. Louis' most treasured resources. You will understand why it attracts millions of visitors annually!
In 1904, when Forest Park hosted the World's Fair along with the first Olympics held in North America, the Grand Basin was the fair's heart and soul and site of the World's Fair Opening Ceremony. We visit The Flight Cage (or has it come to be known as the Bird Cage) and The Art Museum – two of the remaining structures from the World’s Fair. Other attractions on this tour include: The Jefferson Memorial/Missouri History Museum, The World's Fair Pavilion, The Lindell Pavilion, The Cabanne House, Flegal Falls, Friedrich Jahn Memorial, The Post-Dispatch Lake and Boat House plus even more! We provide you with a listening device that allows our guides to communicate comfortably with you throughout the tour.
