St. Louis Shuttle

The VHPA is offering attendees a shuttle as convenient and scenic transportation through the heart of the city, with stops at some of the most iconic attractions. Stops include:

  • Soldiers Memorial Military Museum, where you can explore the rich history of America’s armed forces
  • Blues Museum, celebrating St. Louis' deep musical heritage and its connection to blues music
  • Gateway Arch, an iconic symbol of American expansion and an unforgettable sight
  • Ballpark Village, where you can soak in the excitement of a sports district filled with restaurants, shops, and entertainment

The shuttle offers VHPA guests an easy and fun way to explore St. Louis’ cultural and historical landmarks on their own.
