The Best Time to Visit 

Generally, St. Louis experiences long and extremely hot summers as well as long and cold winters. So, the time between these seasons (shoulder seasons) which are springtime (April to May) and fall (September and October) are the best times to explore the city with suitable and pleasant temperatures. The city is packed with maximum tourist influx during the summers due to school holidays. Winters are very chilled and cover the city with snow, thus it is off-season but very budget-friendly.
