Go at night for the light show!
Visit this eco-art adult playground at night. The rooftop ticket is worth the city lights/views. Give your several hours to explore, and if you happen to go in the daytime- grab some local pizza, IMO’s across the street when you’re finished.

Eat a snack, sit in the sun or go in the art museum. Art hill is enjoyed by locals and tourists alike. It gives a great view of the city and some beautiful green space/fountain favorited for wedding and prom photo ops.

Food scene
From cardinals fans to old Italian couples, everyone knows that this is THE place for pasta. They don’t take reservations so get there early. It’s worth it.

My favorite place for boba and slush drinks. Also have hand pulled/cut noodles. I like to grab a drink and walk down the loop and do some shopping.
