The FAA records 32 operational heliports and helipads within 25 miles of St. Louis. One is designated public use; the rest land by the owner's permission. A charter operator arranges that permission while planning the flight, which is why the owner contact on a record matters more than the pad does.

They sit across St Louis (10), Alton (2), Grafton (2), O'Fallon (2), Belleville (1), Bridgeton (1), and other communities in the metro. The metro crosses a state line, so the list spans IL, MO.
Heliports only. Airports are a separate class of facility and are not counted here, and a charter into St. Louis may well work from one.
Every heliport within 25 miles of St. Louis
Distance is measured from the middle of St. Louis, so the top of this list is what sits closest to town. Pad size is the landing area, not the property. Open any record on the map for surface, lighting, elevation, inspection date, and the owner contact that gets you permission.

Are there public-use heliports in St. Louis?

Does this include St. Louis airports?
