Chesterfield

Don’t let the suburban setting of Chesterfield fool you – this residential area boasts world-class attractions, electrifying entertainment venues, first-class shopping and pretty public parks.

Incorporated in 1988, Chesterfield is located approximately 25 miles west of downtown St. Louis along Interstate 64. While you’re exploring the peaceful enclave, don’t miss The Awakening created by J. Seward Johnson, Jr. in 1980. The aluminum sculpture on the east side of Central Park Chesterfield depicts a 70-foot-tall giant clawing his way out of the ground. If it’s not too hot, you can sit in his hand, climb up his arm and slide down his leg.

Visiting in the fall? Chesterfield has stunning fall foliage, plus plenty of places to eat when hunger strikes. Annie Gunn’s is an institution known for steak and seafood; Black Salt has revolutionized Indian cuisine in the St. Louis area; Bishop’s Post boasts one of the loveliest patios in the region; and The Stellar Hog satisfies barbecue cravings with meaty classics, to name a few.

Throughout the year, families, friends and couples can enjoy fairway fun at Topgolf, live music at The Factory, delicate nature at the Sophia M. Sachs Butterfly House and craft beer at 4 Hands at The District, among other memorable activities.

With millions of dollars pouring into the redevelopment of the neighborhood, Chesterfield is poised for a renaissance, which we encourage you to experience for yourself. Find more itinerary ideas below.
