Being Bored is for Boring People.

Living in St. Louis means the party never stops and there is no excuse for dull moments. Here are things you can do to maximize your STL experience

1. Joining a gym is a great time filler when you are partied out and want something to do without drinking involved.

2. There are plenty of shows going on around town and some of them are even free. Check out wrongdivision.com for show listings or just ask Facebook.

3. Enjoy some art at one of our amazing art museums. If you check the event calendars on their websites, there are usually some great free events and activities.

4. Its hot outside, go check out some penguins or spend time photographing you fave animal at the zoo.

5. Sunday is a good day to check out the swap meet at Lemp Brewery.

6. Park at Friar Tucks on Watson and take Grant's Trail to Grant's farm. Feed some baby goats, grab you beer samples, and head back to Friar Tuck's to purchase beer for home.

7. Hike at Mastadon state park, drive a couple of exits down to Festus for thrift shopping and a Jumbo Burger at Gordon's Stoplight Diner.

8. Take the Riverview hike at Castlewood and hop in the river at the end.

9. Take a trip to Grafton, eat at the Grafton Winery/brewhouse. Hike at Perre Marquette, head back by ferry and stop for a drink at the ferry stop before heading across into St. Charles to head home.
