World Aquarium

Since its inception in 1971, the mission of World Aquarium is to increase the knowledge of aquatic life and environments, to enable people to conserve the world of water, and to provide leadership for the preservation and sustainable use of aquatic resources.

Located in the City Museum in downtown St. Louis, this aquarium has adopted the animals from the Children's aquarium including the small sharks, piranhas, catfish, crabs, alligators and turtles. The staff offers an incredible hands- on learning experience.

With the addition of the 13,500- square- foot World Aquarium in June 2004, creature lovers of all ages have yet another incentive to call on downtown's most intriguing retreat. See what it's like to pet a shark, stingray and sea turtle, but if you just can't muster up the strength to conquer your fears of underwater beings, there's also less intimidating animals like Guinea pigs and such hanging around near the corals and tide pools at Sand Castle Beach.
