I made my husband come here for an hour so we could see it while in town last week and I regret nothing. We easily found free parking and I enjoyed walking around seeing the beautiful and unique sculptures and water elements here. It was an easy visit and an easy walk and it's well-done. I love to see a city that has invested in free spaces. They had a nice outdoor water park fountain for children to run and play in a splash zone that was full with happy, screaming kids while we were there. I can't wait to take my 1-year old when she's older to enjoy things like this. The downtown of StL is a bit sketchy but this area seemed nice, you just have to drive through some bad area to get here and I wouldn't go too far outside this main zone. As such, there isn't a ton of coffee shops or restaurants easily walkable but there were a few we saw.

The rules are posted on the wall for lap swimming. On several occasions there have been people that get into your lane and do not abide by the rules. You tell the life guards, and they do nothing. Most of the life guards are teenagers, and they never intervene unless the situation is severe. I have had occasions where someone gets into the lane while I am swimming, and almost crashes into me because they did not look at the rules or follow them. The lifeguards saw all this but still did not say or do anything until the yelling started. This doesn't happen very often, and the offenders are not the lap swimmers. It is usually a kid who is not supposed to be in the lap lane to begin with (summertime issue when school is out and the pool is crowded), or someone who is not a lap swimmer and did not read the rules. Both times it was a huge safety issue. They list the days/times/hours for lap swimming, but do not enforce the rules. It can be very frustrating.

The kids seem to gravitate to different areas each visit. Two nephews have had Birthday Parties here in the past year. The Defy Staff has the party game on lock. They do things like take the gifts and shoes up at the front door in a locked rolling cart to the party room while the kids start jumping. The parties have the kids jump first, and then meet in a room for pizza, juice, gifts, and cake. They supply the paper plates, cups, and napkins and do all the clean-up from the party. This is a low stress option for parents. I will be back soon.

You're not allowed to eat food in the pool area, only by the concession stand, so don't be surprised if a lifeguard calls you (or your kid) out for having food in the pool area. Highly recommend!

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.
