If you are passing through St.Louis with young ones in tow, be sure to stop at the Cahokia Mounds. (X6-I55, X24-I255) St.Louis was first called "Mound City". What is left is at the park there. It is not what you think you know about civilization before Europeans cme along. Plan at least a couple of hours for the museum and a couple more for the grounds.
When passing through St. Louis, we usually stay at Casino Queen. But, with our usual timing, the RV park was not open.

I think my entire family would like the mounds. Thanks for the suggestion. I had no idea. It's very close as well, which is a big bonus. We only have one day, so we have to prioritize but I think we can fit it all in and not feel overly rushed. City Museum appears to be open late, so we could do the mounds and then the Arch, have a meal out somewhere and still get to City Museum before calling it a night.
Looks like we'll plan on staying at the Casino Queen. It opens one week prior to our scheduled arrival.
