1,326 Acres to Work With
Forest Park runs 1,326 acres, with room for anything from a scavenger hunt to a quiet break between sessions. Missouri Botanical Garden, the oldest continuously operating botanical garden in the country, is a second option if the group wants private event space instead of open parkland.

Somewhere Real to Close Out the Day
Blueberry Hill and The Pageant anchor the Delmar Loop’s bar and music scene. Soulard keeps its 19th-century blocks and its own Mardi Gras crowd. Either neighborhood gives the group a place to go when the event wraps.
