It's the city to be in, all the adventures, the diverse cultures, and the restaurant scene really makes the "Lou" special.
Being from St. Louis, I would recommend anyone to visit this masterpiece of a city, but if you're a college student on a budget or just wanting to save some dough, here are the top 15 things to do in St. Louis on a budget.
