There are numerous things to do but there are even professional team building consultants that can design custom programs that will perfectly suit the needs of all groups.

The city enjoys excellent weather almost year round. Outdoor adventures are therefore very popular and the choice between things to do is almost bewildering. Places such as Go Ape, for example, allows visitors to explore magnificent natural forest by traversing a zip line course through the canopies of the trees. Grants Farm, an erstwhile presidential estate, is also popular. It is now home to more than 100 species of indigenous wildlife.

For those groups that want to experience something exceptional, magic and even strange, the City Museum is a must. This is a museum like no other. It was created by artists and engineers and consist almost entirely of reclaimed materials. Visitors are invited to become part of the exhibits. They can climb up chimneys, explore enchanted caves and take a ten story spiral slide all the way down to the entrance again. The 600 000 sqaure feet that makes up this unique museum contain countless treasures and visitors should allow enough time to thoroughly explore.

The Magic House focus on fun educational activities but there is a good reason why it is called the Magic House. Younger visitors revel in the pin point wall that lets them create amazing 3D pictures of themselves. Even older visitors cannot withstand the Bubble Room and the Lewis and Clark Adventure. Younger visitors can climb the beanstalk from the well know story.

Boat trips down the Mississippi is also popular. Operators such as Gateway Arch Riverboats offer both short and longer tours. They employ guides that relate the history of the area to passengers and that point out places of interest. Of course, most visitors want to see the iconic Gateway Arch, the biggest man made monument in the country.

Lovers of sport will be delighted. Visitors can enjoy every imaginable sport and then even some they never new existed. Clubs generally welcome visitors and some even rent out equipment. There are numerous world class golf courses and an absolute abundance of water sports. Those that want to try something new, like paragliding, can enjoy the activity after a few basic lessons.

There can be no doubt that this city is one of the jewels of not just Missouri, but the entire country. It seems to offer anything anybody could possibly hope for. However, because it is so popular, visitors will be well advised to book their accommodation, tours and activities well ahead of time.
