First Missouri State Capitol State Historic Site
"St. Peters is close enough for an easy afternoon visit, especially for those interested in Missouri history and downtown St. Charles attractions."
This historic site features the restored First State Capitol buildings and interpretive exhibits that tell the story of Missouri’s early government. Its downtown St. Charles setting also places visitors near shops, restaurants, and the Missouri Riverfront.
Cuivre River State Park
"St. Peters families often use the park for camping and picnics. Its large open spaces and lake access make it appealing for a full-day outdoor trip."
Cuivre River State Park is Missouri’s largest state park, offering a mix of forested ridges, limestone bluffs, prairie openings, and river access. It is a popular destination for camping, hiking, horseback riding, fishing, and swimming at Lake Lincoln.
