Would you consider the train safe for me (thirteen years old) and my grandmother ? Are the two blocks in a good neighborhood ? And is it easy to carry our luggage etc. on the train ?

Hi Cayla, I have been riding the train both to and from the Millenium for years. It is fairly easy from the Airport. An elevator at the end of the airport takes you right up to the Train. It only goes out from the airport so you can't get lost. When you get off the train at the Stadium stop, there is a ramp uphill for walking and pulling luggage. It is only a short distance and then you are on the street. The street is by the ballpark and usually only very few people walking around. The hotel is about two blocks from the station on the other side of the ballpark. I have never seen any unsavory types hanging around the station. Most of the time I have met other tourists that use the train to go from place to place. Coming from the airport, most of the train passengers are commuters and people on their way to go shopping, etc. I have never had a problem and will continue to take the train, including this year. It is much cheaper that the shuttle van and very reliable. Most of the time I have met up with women and children so I have always felt safe. Of course I always come in during the day. I also take the train to go to other areas while I am in St. Louis. Hope you have a pleasant journey.

Don, I checked the schedule for the Metrolink and according to that, the trains start departing from the Stadium station as early as 4:23am on the weekend and shortly before 4:00am during the week,heading for the airport, so it looks like you should be all set time wise. I do know that the train stops both at the Southwest terminal and the main terminal. Not sure if there is another way the two terminals connect.

I make the 5.5 hour drive these days, but when I've flown I used the MetroLink. If you arrive near rush hour you'll cruise past a lot of cabs and shuttles stuck in traffic.
Go from the airport to the Busch Stadium (if the new park is named the same). If you get off there and head in the direction of the arch you'll find 4th street and the hotel.

I have taken the train on each of my St Louis trips. I don't recall ever having any sort of an issue, the only thing I might say is that the two or three block walk from the train to the Hotel may be considered too much for some folks, it's an outside walk so if it is raining or real hot it may not be the answer.

Hi, hope to meet up with you at the show. Forgot to tell you, the Millenium did have a van and they may shuttle you to the train station. I did use it once when I was with friends and they took us to Union Station where we could also catch the train. At the time there was an afternoon ballgame and the area was crowded. This is something to check on. See you in St. Louis.
