When it comes to taking your kids out for some family fun, what's better than free?
Our go-to free destination is the Saint Louis Zoo, but it's not on this list. Don't get me wrong – we love the Zoo with a passion. We are members and go so much we're actually on a first name basis with the anteaters. But the Zoo's reputation proceeds it; everyone knows it's awesome.
So here are the first five of my top ten list of my favorite kid-friendly, free gems of the city. Minus the Zoo, but it's implied.
March brings a very special kind of madness to the Butterfly House
in Faust Park. Thousands of breathtaking Blue Morpho butterflies take up residence to welcome spring.
Native to the forests of Central and South America, the Blue Morpho's dazzling, metallic blue is all in the eye of the beholder: Their wings are not actually colored blue, but are lined with many tiny scales that only allow blue light to escape.
