WHILE YOU’RE THERE
I Love the Nightlife
In addition to exploring this year’s host city on the Sightseeing Tours, you will get to enjoy evening
events at some of its top attractions. Food and fun will be on tap at four downtown spots during the
following Travel Exchange socials:
Sunday:
Icebreaker at City Museum
Sponsored by Explore St. Louis
This year’s slate of evening events kicks off with the
Icebreaker at St. Louis’ iconic City Museum. You won’t want
to miss a Sunday night of fun at this unique attraction,
which is more like a combination funhouse/playground than
your typical museum. Housed in a former shoe factory, City
Museum has 10 floors featuring circus acts, an aquarium,
caves, a tree house, multi-floor slides, outdoor oddities and
much more.
Monday:
Opening Day Party at Ballpark Village

After a busy first day of appointments on Monday, you can
cut loose at Ballpark Village. At the sports-themed complex,
which is located adjacent to Busch Stadium, you can choose
from several culinary options, music, dancing, riding the
mechanical bull and watching the sporting event of your
choice on one of the big-screen TVs. You also can visit the St.
Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame and Museum and learn more
about one of Major League Baseball’s most storied franchises.
Wednesday:
Tourism Rocks
Sponsored by Hard Rock Cafe International
and Las Vegas CVA
During this annual delegate favorite, you can dance and
party the night away at the Hard Rock Cafe St. Louis. The
proceeds go to a great cause, as the event supports NTA’s
official philanthropic organization, Tourism Cares. Tour
operators attend as guests of the sponsors, and DMOs and
suppliers may purchase their tickets in advance for $40 from
NTA (email [email protected]) or if any remain
on-site, for $50 at the Tourism Cares booth on the Travel
Exchange floor.
Thursday:
Closing Night Party at Anheuser-Busch
40
January 2017
It’s tough to imagine visiting St. Louis and not going to the
world-famous Anheuser-Busch Brewery. Our Final Night
event takes you to one of the nation’s oldest breweries,
where you can taste samples in The Biergarten, go on tours
explaining the beer-brewing process and take pictures with
one of the legendary Budweiser Clydesdales. Come raise a
glass with your fellow Travel Exchange attendees to toast the
end of a productive week!
