For a weekend getaway… head to St. Louis! Take the whole family to St. Louis for thrill rides, animal encounters, a trip to the moon and more. Sure - lots of cities claim to be "family-friendly" or "kid-centric," but St. Louis means it. Not only are there plenty of activities and attractions that are geared toward kids of all ages, but many of those attractions are free, which makes St. Louis a budget-friendly destination for families. Some of St. Louis’ most popular attractions offer free admission, including the Saint Louis Science Center, Missouri History Museum, Saint Louis Art Museum, Grant’s Farm, Saint Louis Zoo, Purina Farms, and Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site.
After you do ALL of these, you may want a Mothers Day Out! There are at least 2 churches in Dyersburg that have programs in the summer:
First Baptist Church- (Contact Tonya Arnold at 285-4808)
First United Methodist Church (Contact Marnie Eichler at 287-1251)
