I was honored to be on CBS in St. Louis this week with Heather Sullivan, sharing some of our favorite attractions in this incredible city- and why it’s such a fantastic destination for travelers who want an unforgettable trip without feeling like they have to choose between great experiences and great value.

At FoodFamilyTravel, our philosophy has always been about relatable and balanced luxury travel- finding destinations where you can mix amazing everyday experiences with standout moments that make a trip feel truly special. St. Louis does this beautifully.
From iconic attractions like the world-class Saint Louis Zoo to the incredibly immersive St. Louis Aquarium inside historic St. Louis Union Station, the city offers experiences that feel both memorable and accessible for families and travelers alike.
If you only have a few days in the city, there are also a few standout experiences we absolutely loved. One was dinner at Vicia, which delivered one of the most memorable meals of our trip. Another highlight was a beautiful cruise down the Missouri River with Miss Augusta Cruise- especially magical right now during bald eagle nesting season. And we also enjoyed an incredible stay at the Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis, which made a perfect home base for exploring the city (we can't wait to share more about the amazing service and gorgeous visit).
We’ll be sharing much more from our recent visit soon, including our full reviews and our favorite attractions around the city.
For now, you can watch the full CBS segment here:
