8 Dates That Are Great For The Winter In St. Louis

In This Article:

Need a date idea for the harsh winter in St. Louis? Here are eight of them!

1. Ice Skating at Steinberg Skating Rink

This is one of the most popular activities in the St. Louis area in the winter. The rink is in Forest park and is one of the BIGGEST outdoor rinks in the Midwest. YAY St. Louis for achieving something!!! I can't think of a better date with an SO or a bestie for the restie. After you do a few laps hand-in-hand, you can head inside to warm up with hot chocolate. And spill it on yourself if you're like me. Great first impression, am I right?

2. Sledding

There are so many great places to go sledding in the wonderful city. Art Hill in Forrest Park is perhaps the most ell known, but there is also Blanchette Park, the dam at Lake St. Louis, Suson Park, and Bluebird Park. Sledding is just fun no matter how old you are.

3. Watching bald eagles

Missouri is the perfect place for watching these beautiful creatures. Head over to the Chain of Rocks Bridge to watch them perch along the water. A fun fact for yourself today is that Bald Eagles mate FOR LIFE! Name a better thing to witness while on a date! For all you college students out there, this one is FREEEEE!!! You can also meet an eagle at the Alton Visitor Cnter on Saturdays.

4.  Winter Wonderland at Tilles Park

This place gets pretty hectic, but the massive amounts of overwhelming and bright as H*** lights make up for it. If you're not one who particularly enjoys children, maybe stay away from this one.

5. The St. Louis zoo

This option does cost... boooo from the college students!!!! but, it is only $10 or less each day. The lights that the zoo are beautiful and magical and make for great pictures. Spending hours outside in the winter does get really cold, so this is a perfect time to wrap up in your SO's arms and get all nice and toasty with a hot cocoa (with Rum Chata if that's what floats your boat). In fact, this is where my boyfriend and I had our first date! Somehow, we're even still together. If you get there during the day, you can even watch the cute little penguins march through the zoo. HOW CUTE!!!!!

6. Slam Underground

The Saint Louis Art Museum offers a free music series on the last Friday of every month. I mean... its FREE!!! who doesnt like free? Especially FREE MUSIC!!! You do have to have a ticket to get in, but again, they are FREE and near the information desk at the entrance. This one is especially a nice option because if the first date is not going well, you can just ignore each other and enjoy the music. It's a win-win!!

7. Tubing, Skiing, and Snowboarding

Hidden valley is rather expensive, but is such a thrilling place. This place is especially great because St, Louis is not known for its incredible snow falls. At Hidden Valley, there's ALWAYS good snow. If you do chose to partake in any of these activities, make sure you wear waterproof clothing. I may or may not have made this mistake one... or twice.

8. Lights at the Anheuser Busch Brewery

There are self guided light tours, live music, food, and BEER!!! FREE BEER!!!! Who doesn't like free beer?! And I guess Christmas lights?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
