Hi, guy! No need to worry! You know St. Louis is one of the best cities in the nation when talking about free things to do. That is to say, there are many attractions in the city where you and your friends can explore without spending a penny. Here are some of the top free attractions in St. Louis.

St. Louis Zoo - It is thought to be one of the top zoos in the nation. The zoo is home to over 5000 animals and each visit to the zoo can be a unique experience. Best of all, the admission to the zoo is free. But some attractions inside the zoo like the Children's Zoo and Zooline Railroad require a small admission fee.

The St. Louis Science Center - The center gives you a truly hands-on experience. It is a collection of buildings including a science museum and planetarium. You know, the center is one of only two science centers in the nation which offers free general admission. Though the admission to the center is free, some special exhibits and the OMNIMAX Theater have a small admission fee.

Grant's Farm - This is another great place to see animals from around the world. There is a tram ride which can take you to the middle of the park. Please note Grant's Farm is open on weekends in the spring and fall and every day in the summer. The admission is free to everyone.

Have a great time with your friends!

Since you've done all the main things already, you might want to try the City Museum downtown. Although not free, it doesn't cost that much to visit. You don't mention how old the teens are, but out in Chesterfield there is Faust Park, with an old time settlement village (I think), and the Butterfly House. Walking the Streets of Old Town St.Charles and going through the shops might be something to do. Dave and Busters Restaurant (Earth City) has all kinds of video games for kids (and adults) of all ages. Anheuser Busch Brewery Tour. There are several church carnivals and Affton Days going on Saturday, so you might want to do something like that.

I don't know what the rivers are like, but just a car or bike ride along the Great River Road in Illinois from Alton to Grafton and Pierre Marquette State Park has nice views and the weekend is supposed to be really nice. I hope this helps out.

Anything in Forest Park is Free: The Zoo, Art Museum or Science Center.

You could go to Stuckmeyer's and get pumpkins, Ride bikes through a park or walk through Jefferson Barracks and see all of the changing colors.

If get a little more money look at all these things you can do.
