The peak time is coming to view the magic of the trees in Forest Park. Come watch the colorful show starting next week, October 19, and the week after. You won’t be disappointed. To watch the stars of the show, check out these epic viewing spots for the best seats in the house.

Where are the best places to view fall foliage in the Park?

These spots are popular, but you can beat the crowds by visiting during less busy hours, particularly during the week:

• Cycling, running or walking along the 30 miles of paths and trails along the Park (particularly near the prairie near Steinberg Rink).

• Pagoda Circle

• Trees that line the Saint Louis Art Museum

• The view from the top of Art Hill

Secret viewing spots:

Kingshighway and West Pine Blvd.

• During the peak of the season, watch a shower of golden leaves thanks to our Gingko tree friends.

• Catch an epic view of trees and ornamental grasses framing the World’s Fair Pavilion perfectly.

Picnic Island

Virtual Guided Tour
