The Soda Fountain at Union Station serves up an atmosphere and décor that are as bubbly, sweet and playful as its retro menu. Diners can choose from sundaes, malts, floats and ice cream by the scoop. The real scene-stealer, however, is the wide variety of shakes, which includes classic fare like chocolate, strawberry and vanilla, and boozy concoctions for the over 21 crowd.
Since its construction in 1894 St. Louis Union Station has served as a hub of activity in downtown St. Louis, first as a train station, later as a popular retail center, and even, on occasion, as a home away from home for a certain North Pole dignitary. This stunning historic destination has once again reinvented itself, this time as a family entertainment complex. The centerpiece of the redeveloped St. Louis Union Station is the St. Louis Aquarium, which opened to the public in 2019. The 120,000-square-foot aquarium houses 13,000 animals across 257 species in 44 exhibits.

Fortunately, the St. Louis area offers a full artist’s palette of kid-friendly spaces where families can create art together that you’ll both be proud to display in your home (all without the paint spills and marker on the walls).
