Being the birthplace of the blues, St. Louis is a place where history and imagination come together to create a Midwest destination like no other. From its beginnings as a simple French village founded in 1764, St. Louis has grown into an amazing, exciting and character-filled city, especially for student tours. The magnificent Gateway Arch, opened in 1965 as a memorial to Thomas Jefferson’s dream of a continental United States, stands as a world-famous iconic structure and represents the nation’s western gateway. Beyond the arch, St. Louis offers student groups an exciting array of unique attractions, historical sites, world-class museums, shopping, delectable dining, fine arts, pro-sports and live entertainment. No matter what you’re planning to do, see or explore, your group can find it in St. Louis.
