Book Your Pagoda Lake PicnicThe Experience
Pagoda Lake sits tucked inside Forest Park near The Muny — peaceful, lush, and just far enough from the crowd to feel like your own little world. As the evening light filters through the trees, it's hard to think of a better backdrop for a date night in St. Louis.
We handle everything. A fully stocked basket arrives ready — three courses from some of our favorite local restaurants in the CWE and Grove. Blanket, cutlery, corkscrew — all there. Two hours, just the two of you.
And with every booking, $5 goes to Forest Park Forever. Romance, but make it civic.
