After many Costco runs for tubs of Lysol wipes and vats of hand sanitizer,** taking a weekend trip with family to St. Louis here soon. Any advice on places to go (in particular with a toddler), areas to avoid staying, etc.? Thanks in advance.
OT: St. Louis trip advice

Forest Park is legit. The zoo is inside the park and it’s awesome. Would be a great place for the family to hang out.
“The Hill” is an area of plenty of great Italian restaurants.
St Charles is my wife an I favorite area. There’s a river walk there and a lot of historic sites. A few breweries and wineries down the strip too if you’re into that.
Just stay away from East downtown and you’ll be fine. Washington Ave is a fun area but just like any downtown be mindful of your surroundings.
I'll echo these and add Meramec Caverns. Its about an hour southwest of St. Louis but its definitely worth it.
This is a great bbq spot https://sugarfiresmokehouse.com
I’d go to St Louis just to eat there. I’ll second the Budweiser brewery tour. Maybe not fun for a child but as an adult you’ll enjoy it. The Arch is cool.

good Lord, crawl out of the sticks every now and then and maybe big cities won't scare you so.
This is one of the coolest places ever for kids and parents can have fun too. A lot of it is targeted for older than a toddler though if that's your only child.
I second the Sugarfire nomination. There are several locations in the St. Louis area.
Very nice barbecue and I was happy to see that they were a food vendor at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre last year.

Pretty much everything everyone else said on here.
Two hotels I would suggest is The Union Station or out a bit further the Hilton Frontenac
Another good restaurant rec for BBQ is Pappys, for Cajun- Broadway Oyster Bar close to Busch stadium, Italian - Charlie Gritos and a cool spot and name is Eleven Eleven Mississippi

Unless you leave the kid and maybe the wife. Best gentleman club you will find since Platinum Plus closes down.
St. Louis has a pretty bad crime rate. But just like any other city be smart with your surroundings and you’re fine.
All of these are good choices. Another unique place for small children is the Magic House. Union Station has a new aquarium and a ferris wheel.
