I'm visiting St. Louis next weekend and I'll admit, sometimes visiting a town over the weekend can be iffy, business wise.

So perhaps doing a bit of sightseeing would be fun!!!
There is one place that I would REALLY like to visit!!!
Topic about it here:

This Spring, I'm looking to do some fun and different things. And I'm sincerely glad to be adding St. Louis to the mix!!!
So if you have any helpful hints, I'd appreciate it!!!

If the weather is good, consider taking in one (or both) of the Missouri Botanical Garden or the St. Louis Zoo. Both are world class institutions.
If the weather isn't so good, and you want to stay indoors as much as possible, I'm very fond of the St. Louis Art Museum, and of the History Museum in Jefferson Memorial in Forest Park.
Sadly, the City Museum didn't get started until a bit after I left St. Louis, but my daughter (who still lives in STL) thinks it's the greatest.
I am sorry I'll miss your visit, but I hope you enjoy! I am still so smitten with my birthplace that I don't identify as a Memphian (even after 15 years here), but as a St. Louisan in exile.
Cheers,
