Love the aquarium!!!!! Especially on a freezing cold day what is better than doing something indoors, the aquarium is absolutely beautiful, there's a water play table and a little play area with coloring tables for hands on fun and of course seeing all the amazing animals is unbelievable!!!! Loved it so much!!!!! Perfect for all ages

Took the kids and grandkids down for the Polar Express train ride. The whole station is lit up for the holidays and is so pretty at night. With our tickets we also got a free ride on the ferris wheel which gives you a great view of the entire area. Watching all the families running around in their jammies for the train is hilarious.

It's such a unique place to be. Love the indoor/outdoor space. We sat in chairs by the Koi pond after feeding the fish. They had a drink station with bottle pop, beer, and seltzer drinks. They have a few food places you can eat at as well. There is a dessert place, aquarium, burger/ice cream, etc. Every hour in the pond, there is a few minute fire show that's fun to watch. Also, a carousel and large ferris wheel. So much fun and highly recommend going if you are around the area.

We walked around the Union Station without any expectations and it was such a delight to take a stroll in the fall. Lots of koi fish and birds you can feed. Wooden chairs line the entire water which are actually quite comfortable. At the top of each hour they have a fire/water show that’s synchronized to music. If I was a local, I could definitely see myself reading there with the relaxed atmosphere. There’s a few restaurants, the aquarium, the wheel, and a few other attractions making it a great place for the entire family. *Went on a Monday afternoon and there was zero wait to get in and it wasn’t crowded at all.

St. Louis has found a great way to re-purpose this prime real estate. I used to come here when there were shops and restaurants, but as brick and morter died, apparently so did Union Station. But let's move on because now Union Station, located in the heart of downtown St. Louis is home to a family-friendly aquarium, ferris wheel, mirror maze, selfie station, and ropes course. The kids will spend hours here. Wait, before you go inside, be sure to stop at the pond to feed the koi and watch the flames shoot out of the water (Ever seen a flame fountain? Now is your chance). There are 9 places to grab a bit. Yes, Landry's is there and still serving good food. Want something new? Try the Soda Fountain. They have a full menu and are a bit more kid friendly. Short on time? Have a fish taco at Taco Container, they are yummy. Okay, now we can go inside. I must admit I was a little disappointed with Cookies & Cupcakes. They were out of several items on their menu when we visited. They were even out of black coffee (how is that possible)? We watched the kids climb, zip line, and swing on the ropes course, which was suspended 30+ feet in the air. Next, it was on to the aquarium. It was fun and very interactive. We stopped to take a virtual 3 minute train ride and watch a video. Then we laughed with Tommy, the virtual otter. There were several touch pools along the way. I touched rays, jellyfish, starfish, and even sea urchins. I must admit it brought the kid out in me. There were several other noteworthy exhibits, but you will have to see them yourself. The afternoon ended outside at the giant ferris wheel. There were 5 in our party and we all fit comfortably in the climate controlled gondola. Amazing views of the city and perfect selfie taking opportunity. I can honestly say Union Station is better than ever!!!! Pro tip: Be sure to park in the visitor lot and bring your ticket with you. Get it validated on your way out and pay only $5. Also, buy the combo ticket to the attractions and save some money there too. Have fun!!!

So much to do and priced well especially if you buy the pass to do it all. Best aquarium I've been to. Got to feed turtles and sting rays, touch sting rays and jelly fish. As a visitor to St Louis it was great to see the native fish to this area that we don't have in Oregon. Lots of activities for children. We ate at the Train Shed, good food, fun atmosphere overlooking koi pond. Mirror maze, selfie express, mini golf and carousel all very fun. 200 ft ferris wheel was incredible. I don't like heights but the views from up top were worth it. Definitely a must see attraction

This place was a neat detour. We went to the aquarium and ended up seeing and doing quite a few other things also! There was a maze of mirrors, rope course, several restaurants (quick and easy to expensive date atmosphere), fireballs shooting out of the pond, birds, trains, a Ferris wheel... We'll have to see what other surprises await next time we are in town!
