St. Louis fountain — Tip #1: For a taste of summer on a chilly day, visit the Missouri Botanical Garden. There, you’ll find a Japanese strolling garden, and most important, a geodesic dome housing exotic flowers and tropical animals year-round.

Tip #2: Feeling the need to commune with the old masters? Visit the St. Louis Art Museum. With works from Picasso, Van Gogh and Rembrandt, it's a perfect way to pass the afternoon, one brush stroke at a time.
