What are three great venues you would recommend for off-site group events in St. Louis?
- Moto Museum: At The Moto Museum, you can host your event amid 100 rare and vintage motorcycles collected from around the world. The museum contains six galleries, each representing a different geographical region and exhibiting the full-range evolution and design of the motorcycle. Guests love to roam the museum and marvel at the many varieties of bikes. Complete your event with temporary tattoos and photos of guests posed on a motorcycle.
- City Museum: City Museum is a fantasyland made up of unique found objects from around St. Louis. The first floor is an oceanic wonderland where mermaids and sea creatures swirl around the mosaic floors and columns. The second floor is home to the Vault Room, where guests can view an authentic bank vault door. Architecture Hall, on the third floor, is home to a turn-of-the-20th-century bar from the St. Louis Hill neighborhood, with a vintage wooden dance floor. Guests can explore the museum during their event and be amazed at sights such as the world’s largest pencil or a big top circus complete with performers.
- Busch Stadium: If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime event, Busch Stadium is the place to be. When the team isn’t in town, your group can experience batting practice on the field, complete with pitching coaches, customized event tickets, authentic game day hats, personalized bats for each player, use of the visiting clubhouse and dinner in the Cardinal Club. For something less interactive but just as amazing, how about dinner on the field? Imagine your VIPs’ surprise as they are led onto the warning track and greeted by an elegant seated dinner around the field—or even at home plate. Definitely an unforgettable experience.
