The long-awaited opening of the St. Louis Wheel at Union Station is here! Families are invited to ride St. Louis' newest attraction on its first day of official operation. You can also try the new St. Louis Union Station Soda Fountain.
Purina will be on hand with adoptable dogs from local shelters on the Purina Performance Plaza. Kids will have the chance to test their skills on the Purina agility course, and pet owners will be able to take home a bag of dog or cat treats.
The St. Louis Wheel is a 200-foot high observation wheel with 42 fully enclosed, climate controlled gondolas that seat up to six adults each. Wheel passengers will take three to four rotations high over the St. Louis skyline. The St. Louis Wheel at Union Station will be open every day of the year.
The grand opening begins at 10 a.m. Tickets are $15 for ages 13 and up, $10 for ages 3 to 12, and free for ages 2 and under.
