    You know by now, that this TR family loves a sculpture walk.  The combination of art appreciation and the outdoors is irresistible to us!  On a recent vacation trip, we discovered Laumeier Sculpture Park (LSP) in St. Louis, Missouri.

    Located on 96 wooded acres, LSP is dog friendly and free-of-charge to explore.  A majority of the main trails are wheelchair/stroller accessible.  Clean restrooms (with baby IMG_1967changing stations), water fountains, and benches are abundant throughout the park.  There are indoor galleries as well, but since we had our dog on this journey, we stuck to the outdoor exhibits only.

    Tip:  You can go off the main trails and experience some moderate hiking through beautiful woodlands.  These paths are not well marked so be sure you’re in the mood for a lot of meandering.

    LSP requests that you do not touch or climb on most sculptures.  But there are some exhibits that are clearly marked for you to enjoy exploring.  Our children loved climbing within the “cantaloupe”  and zigzagging through the House of the Minotaur.

    We spent about 2 hours at LSP and only explored ¼ of what they have to offer.  We highly recommend this destination!
