Union Station – St. Louis

St. Louis Union Station is one of the city’s most iconic historic landmarks, originally opened in 1894 as the largest and busiest train station in the world. Today it has been beautifully restored and transformed into a vibrant entertainment complex while preserving its grand architecture — especially the famous Grand Hall with its soaring ceilings and daily light show.

Visitors can enjoy a wide variety of activities all in one place, including the St. Louis Aquarium, a 200-foot observation wheel with skyline views, mini golf, ropes course, carousel, restaurants, soda fountain, and shops. The outdoor lake area also offers seasonal events and plenty of space to relax and take photos.

It’s a perfect all-ages destination — whether you want interactive attractions for kids, historic scenery for photos, or just a fun place to walk around together and spend time as a group.
