1 and 2 Star Reviews of St. Louis' Favorite Places
Everybody’s got an opinion, and let’s face it, many of them stink. How else to explain people who’d complain about the beauty of St. Louis' glorious Art Hill — or complain about getting ripped off at our totally free Saint Louis Zoo? (Did we mention it’s free?) And who could possibly have a bad word to say about City Museum?
Yet various Karens and Kyles have left some hilariously misguided negativity on Yelp and Google about St. Louis' favorite places. From people complaining that the animals at the zoo look lifeless to the nattering nabobs upset that the fans actually watch the game at Busch Stadium, the complaints are numerous and even occasionally innovative in their stupidity.
Scroll down for some of the goofiest one- and two-star reviews we found on Yelp and Google (and maybe even a few three-star ones, too).

"God awful. No circulation when I went. People were literally dropping like flies and others were just stepping right over their bodies to continue shopping."

Saint Louis Zoo
Stacey, 1 star
"Very disappointed! We won’t go back. The $4 ice cream cone was so stale, the cone was like chewing leather! Dickerson Park Zoo is so much better in Springfield, MO than this one!"

Saint Louis Zoo

"You invite people to the zoo and have no parking spaces. Then you give people tickets for parking on the side. Here is the one star you deserve."

Saint Louis Zoo
Pete M, 1 star
"For those that think this is a wonderful zoo — you REALLY need to get to more zoos. I cannot believe I wasted an entire day on this joke of a zoo. PATHETIC!!
"But of course this is a FREE zoo and like the rest of the hand-out, take-care-of-me society — standards are always lowered in order to get FREE. Go figure, look at what runs St. Louis.

Saint Louis Zoo
Kyrsna V, 1 star
"Oh wow, everyone seems to love this zoo. I would too, if the animals looked at least somewhat happy. I know this is a zoo and no animal is happy to be in a zoo but, come on, every animal here looks sad and lifeless."

"Complete shit, never going back. Not like it used to be."

Gateway Arch
Carolina S, 1 star
"Wow. Just wow. Going to the arch was definitely an... experience. Would I characterize it as a mistake? No. The real mistake was this HUGE, godforsaken arch being built in the first place. This is not a shape that should exist on Earth.
"Getting there was nearly impossible, with the directions taking us STRAIGHT OUT of St. Louis. Maybe the directions were trying to do us a favor, because I wish we would've stayed out.
"Whatever you do, do not enter the museum. It is a den of propaganda trying to convince you that that shape is physically correct.
"Also Missouri is too long."

"Sucks plain & simple. The Arch, like other so-called landmarks, has no real point. To me at least a waste of tax money to where it could help the homeless."

"Not tall enough. Maybe just rebuild the entire thing from scratch. Quite an embarrassing thing to look at."
