Come one, come all and test your skills in climbing and navigating a tricky funhouse. Standing at the entrance of the 13,000-animal St. Louis Aquarium in Union Station, look up three stories high and you’ll see what we mean. Overhead, tykes and adults alike step one foot in front of the other across a rope obstacle course nearly as tall as the ceiling of the station’s former mall. (Kids under 48 inches can opt for the miniature version called Sky Tykes.) The brave take on adjacent SkyRail, a 100-foot-long zip line that whisks riders 50 feet above the lobby. Just left of everyone monkeying around, an entrance to a peculiar labyrinth beckons kids to embark on a journey through its 900 square feet of seemingly endless hallways. With the A-Maze-Ing Discoveries Mirror Maze, feel your way through to black-curtained rooms (including themed ones like the Hall of Doors, Room of Laughter, and Cave of Winds) and discover facts about the 1904 World’s Fair, which the interactive attraction draws inspiration from.
