Shhhhh, this is a secret post! Often when showing people around some of my favorite spots in Forest Park, one of them will say, “I never knew this was here, and I have been coming to this Park for 20 years.”

These six spots are for those who had no idea how easy it is to “get away” in St. Louis without traveling 60 miles west. Let me lead you into the secret world of Forest Park. Let’s get lost, shall we?

Now that the secret is out, here is a little transportation tip that is not so secret to help you get started on your journey. Hop on or hop off using the Forest Park Explorer (for free on the weekend) to make your way around the entire Park exploring these secret spots for a day-long adventure.
