Nature Attractions - Updated: 7/5/2023




Jewel Box
Jewel Box is a wonderful "greenhouse" to visit. While the Missouri Botanical Gardens tends to steal the "plant show" in St. Louis, the Jewel Box is definitely worth the visit. And, at $1 per person (free on Monday and Tuesdays from 9am-12 noon), it could be a viable alternative to a slightly more expensive Missouri Botanical Gardens.

Shaw Nature Reserve - Arboretum
A wonderful, beautiful nature reserve
Missouri Botanical Gardens
Obviously, has a wonderful selection of plants and flowers
Has a great playground for kids
Weldon Spring Site Interpretive Center and Educational Opportunities
Haven't been here yet, have you??
Bonne Terre Mines - Boat Rides
Take a unique boat ride through the Bonne Terre Mines. Expensive, but it is an amazing experience!

This park comes highly recommended from a viewer of this lens. I haven't been here, but by the looks of the website, I think I should get there very soon! Evidently, the park has a wading pool for visitors to wade and cool off. Wow! What a surprise!
Confluence Point
Beautiful park, great for bird watching, where the Mississippi and the Missouri meet!
