As a wedding photographer, it is always a joy to photograph a wedding at World's Fair Pavilion! Exceptional views and a great place for out of town guests to experience St. Louis.
Beautiful place. I can understand why there was a reception being set up here. I would have enjoyed it more if we were able to walk up stairs to see the view from one of the other towers.
I love it. I'm here every uear working the African Festival as a vendor. Really cool underneath the Pavillion and there are bathrooms here and they are clean.
Great spot for a wedding or other outdoor event when it’s not cold out. The views from the top of the hill are great and you can see for miles. There are tons of steps to go up and down if you want to get a good workout in. There’s also lots of flat grassy areas to use. The large fountain is nice in the summer months.
One of the best places in Forest Park to take in the views. Resting high on a hill you get a very nice look to the north, I think. We were here for a wedding and the venue looked very nice. I would assume 150ish is the right number of attendees. Has large restrooms off to the west side. The sun setting was kind of rough for an hour or so and we kind of rotated around our table to get out of direct rays.

Historic elegance meets breathtaking views in the heart of Forest Park.
