Golf At The Galleries Is The Coolest St. Louis Summer Activity

The second floor of the Sheldon Concert Hall and Art Galleries in St. Louis has a very interesting exhibit running right now. The exhibit is called Golf at the Galleries and showcases artist designed mini golf. The pieces are even playable and were created by artists, architects and other creators.

It runs until August 12. It is $10 for adults, $6 for kids 12 and under, and if you're a US Bank cardholder you get $2 off each admission! It might be a drive, but it's seriously worth it.

This event is family friendly and accessible. I went with my boyfriend and we had a wonderful time, it is truly fun for all ages. It's also air conditioned, which makes it perfect for these hot summer days!

There were 9 holes total, each was set in its own room. The experience was immersive, each hole took up its entire room and there was supplemental art on the walls and around the installations to add to the experience

My boyfriend's favorite was "Distortion" by Arcturis, a half pipe with a mirrored ceiling. It was by far the most difficult of all the holes - neither my boyfriend nor I actually completed it.

I preferred Justin King's "Serengeti Park", which was made entirely out of cardboard. It has animals like an towering elephant, a fox having a picnic, and a chimpanzee sitting on a bench you could take selfies with. While it was not particularly challenging as a mini golf hole, it was pretty straight forward. The cardboard animal statues were cute and made for a great photo opportunity.

Another hole I liked was called "The Gateway Green – A Hole-in-One for STL" By Switch. It was a model of the new Gateway Arch grounds as well as the old courthouse and Kiener Plaza.

I really enjoyed the creativity put into the works, they were all different and had their own unique challenges. It was definitely a great experience and not quite your everyday activity. It had a fun spin on your average mini golf outing. I highly recommend checking it out, you'll thank me later.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
