Wikipedia entry

“The Saint Louis Zoo is consistently ranked among the best in the country, and admission is free. The Saint Louis Art Museum (SLAM), sitting on Art Hill, houses a world-class permanent collection at no charge. The Missouri History Museum anchors the northern end of the park. The Saint Louis Science Center draws families year-round. Between these four major institutions, Forest Park offers a cultural program that would cost significantly more to replicate anywhere else in the country.”
