Looking for a Public Pool?
The Kennedy Recreation Complex in South County (Off Highway 21 to Wells Rd.) is an Olympic sized swim pool, with a large portion of it 3 1/2 feet and under so it is great for kids. These public pools are perfect for families who are not affiliated with a pool; you just pay as you go. The pool at Kennedy Complex was very open– not many people– with plenty of lifeguards.

Head to City Museum’s Rooftop on Tuesday, July 4 from 7-11 PM for a 360 view of fireworks all across the St. Louis skyline.

- Bring the family for exclusive access to the Rooftop attractions including the Ferris wheel, slides, climbers
- BYOCC (Bring your own camp chair)—there will be some seating available, but it is limited. Pick your favorite spot on the roof and set up shop. Any direction you look, it’ll be like diamonds in the sky
- Enjoy music, crafts, food, and more
- Access to the interior floors from 5pm-10pm and party on the Rooftop from 7pm-11pm
Due to limited space, Electric Sky is a separate, private, after-hours event. All guests must purchase a separate ticket to attend.
Electric Sky is available to guests of all ages. For more information about all of their events, visit citymuseum.org
