Open-air Mediterranean pavilion in Forest Park
The World’s Fair Pavilion has been one of Forest Park’s most popular attractions since it was built in 1909. It was built using proceeds from the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis, hence its name! This space commands your attention before you even reach the doors: it sits on top of Government Hill, with views of the Boathouse, Post-Dispatch Lake and the Emerson Grand Basin that you and your guests can enjoy during any event. There is ample space, indoors and out, for guests to spread out, making it perfect for a large wedding full of family and friends, or even for a charity fundraiser!
The World’s Fair Pavilion has been one of Forest Park’s most popular and impressive attractions since it was built in 1909 with proceeds from the 1904 World’s Fair. Recently renovated with all the modern amenities, this venue is great for larger events and is conveniently located on the south side of the park near Highway 64 and Hampton Avenue by the Saint Louis Zoo.
This magnificent open-air shelter commands one of the most dramatic views of the park, sitting atop Government Hill overlooking the Boathouse, Post-Dispatch Lake, the Emerson Grand Basin and a beautiful and newly redesigned cascading stone water fountain.
