I plan on using this whenever I come to Union Station. Here you can pay for your parking and if you show your entry ticket you can get parking for all day for $5. After the sharks there were seahorses and jelly fish and then you are deposited in the gift shop. This area is very dark so watch your step and watch your small children. You then move down a ramped area to the shark tanks and where several species of salt water fish are housed. This is where the blue lobster Lord Stanley is housed in his special St Louis Blues display. Petting sting rays - feeding turtles and learning about river systems. Taking an escalator up you are in a large area of several different hands on activities. Then you experience more freshwater fish but more tropical in nature including a tank of piranha's. After a short "ride" where a presentation is given you enter the aquarium proper and are greeted by a large tank of what would be considered local fresh water fish like bass, catfish, gar etc. ![]() You then enter another holding area before boarding a "train car" for your journey to the museum. When standing in line to enter annual pass holders were let in last - that's not the right way to do it. The process of picking up my pass took way more time than I expected including entering of data that I already entered online. Use the phone app to cut down on time standing in line. Annual pass holders may enter at any time but others must purchase a ticket with an entry time and they do sell out so order ahead of time on line. It was very busy on a very early Sunday morning and had to wait in line to pick up the actual pass. I went down to the aquarium having purchased an online annual pass. ![]()
