I really enjoyed this family visit to the aquarium. It's cute and interactive and great for kids…read more The aquarium itself is levels and the first thing you do is walk onto their "train" which takes you on a journey through history/StL time and is one of those interactive sit and watch the screens while it simulates movement-type of rides and my two-year old was thrilled and fascinated. A little cheesy, but cute. Lots of big and well-lit, clean aquariums for my little girl to get up close and personal and look and learn. I loved the Doctor fish area where you can basically get a fish manicure - I've never done anything like that before and it was sooooo cool! The second floor is more interactive with the touching stations for jellyfish, feed and pet the stingrays and more. I loved the small toddler play area for my daughter and the interactive water station. They also have different pets and shows at different times all day long where you can learn about all sorts of things - while we were there it was a leopard gecko which was so cute! It's not very big - but, they make good use of the space they have and it's located in the beautiful Union Station area with dining and other things to do nearby with plenty of paid parking. There is the St Louis Farris Wheel, a soda fountain, and carousel as well as a train. You can buy a pass for the adventure ropes course up above and the selfie museum as a package to save some money. We didn't this time, but I do want to come back to the selfie museum in the future - it's only $10 per person and looks cute and fun.

There were supposed to be around to help families but every time you asked them for help they would say things like "well did you read the instructions." Additionally, I asked a staff member how the digital paint station worked and the response was "touch the screen" The staff was extremely dismissive and even though the WiFi network said guest, there was no public WiFi. While my kids had a blast and I'd come back, I'd definitely lower my expectations of anyone to assist. M The kids loved it though! How they

It's welcoming and cozy, well organized, and has plenty to do. Adult seating is provided around the room. A well-stocked art area allows for messy creativity. A sensory area allows for play in tubs of rice with containers to fill and tools to scoop with. It also includes a play store, a table filled with learning toys for little hands, and a section with an assortment of building blocks and materials. I'm a fan! We'll be back.

It chronicles the African-American history of St. Louis, and you'd be surprised which African-Americans who are very famous and well-know have ties to this city. The wax sculptures are awesome and really bring life to the exhibits, and most were created by the museums founder, Ms. Lois Conley. I love how they also pay homage to little known St. Louis from the Black community who made indelible marks civically and cultural on the local and state level because you never hear about those heroes and sheroes on the global stage. This is a must see when visiting STL. Admission is $7.50 and there's ample street parking.

Currently, looking forward to revisiting to indulge in the artwork that will be placed outside, around the building.

There are prompts to tell you how to take a photo in each room, but some just didn't make sense. Also most are not "selfies" but rather taking pics of others doing things.
