St. Lou is...chock full o' family-friendly things to see and do! Here's a list of extra special events and activities geared to families who are looking for some new and different ways to have fun at some of St. Louis' most kid-friendly attractions this spring and summer.

Take a tour of the Redbirds' roost and get a behind the scenes look at the St. Louis Cardinals' home turf. Busch Stadium tours (www.cardinals.com/tours) are offered daily year-round (except on days where there's an afternoon home game, special events and certain holidays) and includes visits to such unique locales as the Redbird Club, Cardinals Club, KMOX radio broadcast booth, the home team's dugout and other unique areas throughout the ballpark.

If you head on down to the Saint Louis Zoo (www.stlzoo.org), there might be a few stingrays asking for you. That's because "Stingrays at Caribbean Cove" returns to town April 23 -September 25. Visitors can watch, touch and even feed these fascinating ocean creatures as they glide through their tropical saltwater habitat. The 17,000-gallon pool includes cownose and southern stingrays as well as some newcomers for 2011: sharks. Yep, the stingrays brought some muscle with them this time - brownbanded bamboo and bonnethead sharks - so be nice to our wet ‘n' wild visitors.
