The Fabulous Fox

MAJESTIC ST. LOUIS
Wednesday, November 4
9:00am - 12:30pm

Saturday, November 7
1:00pm - 4:30pm

Experience the majestic side of St. Louis through two of its most influential neighborhoods, Midtown and the Central West End. En route to the Midtown theatre district, which is anchored by the Fabulous Fox Theatre, you will pass Saint Louis University (SLU). Founded in 1818, SLU is the oldest university west of the Mississippi.
Experience the Fabulous Fox Theatre in style. Built in 1929 as a movie theatre at a cost of $6 million, the Fox Theatre is a magnificent example of the “Siamese Byzantine” design. Built by William Fox, of 20th Century Fox fame, the theatre was designed after a Hindu mosque. During the 1930s, Fox had a theatre empire of over 800 theatres. After a period of decline, the Fabulous Fox Theatre was restored and reopened in 1982, and now hosts concerts and Broadway musicals. A tour of the theatre, complete with backstage access, will complete your visit.

Then, vist the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis, known to St. Louisans as the New Cathedral. Here be amazed by one of the largest collection of mosaics in the world – more than 84,000 square feet in 8,000 shades of color! The tiny pieces of tessere and glass portray scenes from both the Old and New Testaments, the life of Saint Louis IX, King of France, and many men and women prominent in the history of St. Louis.

On Wednesday's Tour - the fee includes a box lunch, and you will return in time to attend The Reel Thing.

Cost per person: $50 (Wed); $40 (Sat)

The Brewery

Anheiser-Busch Brewery & Ted Drewes
Tuesday, November 3
Saturday, November 15
1:00pm - 5:00pm

Your tour guide will familiarize you with the rich history of the colorful Busch family en route to the King of Beers – the Anheuser-Busch Brewery. Situated in a 100-acre complex with over 70 red brick structures, the Brewery buildings are known for their unique architecture and several are National Historic Landmarks.
During the tour, you will see the World Famous Clydesdales, the Fermentation Building, the Packaging and Bottling Plant, the Brew House and a film about the brewing process. No visit would be complete without a stop in the hospitality room to sample the family of Anheuser-Busch products.

After leaving Anheuser-Busch you’re in for one last treat. Before returning to the hotel, savor a sweet treat as you stop at Ted Drewes Frozen Custard, a St. Louis tradition since 1929. Enjoy a specialty “concrete” shake that is so thick you can turn it upside down.

Cost per person: $35.00
