It¡¯s easy to find romantic things to do and places to go in St. Louis, Missouri, whether you're on budget or have money to spare.
Spend the day at Forest Park, where the only cost for many of the attractions is your time. Larger than New York¡¯s Central Park, this was the site of the 1904 World¡¯s Fair. Bring a picnic lunch and rent a rowboat at the Forest Park Boathouse. The two of you can leisurely paddle past scenic grounds landscaped with flowing fountains and gorgeous gardens. If the weather doesn¡¯t cooperate, there are many indoor attractions waiting for the two of you. At the Steinberg Ice Rink you can skate arm-in-arm year round, with roller-skating offered during the summer months and ice-skating from late fall through early spring. And whether you share a mutual interest in art, history, gardening, or zoology, the park offers free museums where you can develop that interest together.
