St. Louis Aquarium at Union Station - Full Tour! Mirror Maze, Ferris Wheel and Selfie Museum!

[@bpatrickkramer6226]

A bit of trivia...the narrator at the aquarium on the "train" is none other than brilliant actor John Goodman!

[@anelson8856]

I was trying to figure out who the familiar voice belonged to!

[@brucewayne33497]

I thought that was him but i wasn't entirely certain

[@byallmeansneccasary6884]

​@@anelson8856 oh wow I didn't know that

[@melanieiwasko6010]

Yep. John was born in St Louis and went to college there also.

[@TheCarpetbagger]

I thought it sounded like him! I just figured that he was an awful big name to do u credited narration at an aquarium

[@midwest0pe]

John Goodman considers STL his hometown. He is involved with a lot of stuff around town!

[@unicorn063]

I hope my dad can see this aquarium from heaven ❤❤❤❤

[@ParaRob]

I'm sure he can and is smiling from above. Best wishes to you and your dad in heaven. ❤️

[@nadiaborzacchini1987]

Aw I know he's loving it

[@bigrudd9346]

That alligator gar was staring you down. Gangsta checked ya. And archer fish aren't spitting, they're blowing jets of water with tunneled air. Gotta love Carpet. The greatest.

[@caroleroseburgh1344]

Hi Jacob 🙋🏽. Thank You for inviting me to watch your video ‼️ have a wonderful day ‼️💓

[@jeremybenton458]

Im currently in a manic episode making a mess of everything. Your videos give me some hope of grounding and I can’t express my appreciation enough.

[@zupzipzoo9879]

Hope you're doing well

[@jeremybenton458]

@@zupzipzoo9879 well aren’t you kind! I’m doing better now, thank you!

[@angelaedwards5124]

I almost spit out my coffee when you said JUMP SCARED BY A COW!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

My father was big in trains 🚂 too bad he wasn’t alive to appreciate this aquarium ❤❤❤

[@lissachocolate]

I love how they use that cool train ride to transition from the train station to the aquarium, and the amazing ceiling screen, so much cool stuff to do.

[@kimberlyfoster7148]

I love your "river dancing" lol and your "jazz hands" LOL You bring a smile to our day! Thank you :)

[@PrimofThees]

If you haven’t gone there already I hiiiighly recommend the Dallas World Aquarium! It’s so beautiful, and such a sight to see! I think you’d absolutely love it!

[@Nancy-iv1yj]

Atlanta Georgia has a nice aquarium

[@alliekuma4234]

What a gorgeous light show. ♥ That clock in the aquarium was really cool, along with the flying train. John Goodman did a good job narrating the train. : ) Very cool looking place. I'm glad you had fun today!

[@TheCarpetbagger]

I thought it sounded like John Goodman too!

[@suemoo22]

Even at my age, I just love cotton candy! (I’m old)

[@Sparty-pi3jq]

Not too far from my 2nd home (in Montana) this past summer 4 people were hospitized because of (very territorial) river otter attacks😱. The people were tubing, down the river. Great aquarium Jake!

[@unicorn063]

I would so recommend this place to everyone ❤❤❤❤

[@vargasfamily282]

Seeing a real live giant squid blew my mind!

[@ParaRob]

It was a video on a screen, but it'd definitely be amazing to see one in person. I don't think the tanks at the STL aquarium are big enough to hold one of those big guys. Their size is tough to comprehend even after seeing a real one. They're pretty rare and they have a very short life span. Life expectancy is 5 years. They must grow incredibly fast! The biggest one ever caught was 43 feet long and over 1,000 pounds! I can understand why they were considered ocean monsters by sailors hundreds of years ago. Pretty cool stuff!!

[@vargasfamily282]

@@ParaRob I was wondering how they could house a giant squid in their aquarium. I didn’t know their life span is so short.

[@ParaRob]

@@vargasfamily282 That screen did look very realistic tho. I was surprised as well when I learned how short their lifespans were. I think that even if they had a big enough tank, they wouldn't be able to simulate the pressure of the deep ocean that giant squids live in. As rare as they are to see, it's even more rare to see them alive. If they are caught or seen in open water, they either die from being brought up or are dying so they float to the top. Most of the time, however, they sink and become food for the scavengers who patrol the ocean floor. I have no idea why I remember so many random giant squid facts. Lol!! But I looked up what the largest one was and confirmed their lifespan because I wasn't sure if I remembered that correctly. I retain the most random information and spit it out years after learning it without talking about it in-between. Haha!! My sister gets so annoyed (and amazed) on long road trips when I just come up with that stuff out of nowhere. Have a great day!

[@LindaSolis-b9s]

O@@ParaRob I was wondering if that was a video- I thought it might be. With the latest technology it's hard to tell- especially on a YT video!. Thanks. It was very well done 🙂

[@ParaRob]

@user-cn6de7xe2o it is very hard to tell! It looks very realistic on KZbin video. Even in person, it looks realistic, but you can see the screen. I agree. It was very well done. I appreciate your kind response!

[@elijahdoesmine9964]

I remember going to the St. Louis Aquarium before the Pandemic

[@lisafreeman4222]

I love watching aquarium videos they are relaxing

[@jawllypop1750]

Union Station has changed a lot since I was there long ago as a kid!

[@dana5782-b8s]

There is a new Aquarium being built near me in Utica, Michigan call the LegaSea Aquarium that you must go to when it opens ! A big reptile KZbinr who has millions of subscribers owned it but he passed away a few months ago before it was finished. This is a huge deal in my town and you can watch the progress on the channel and then see the finished progress. They currently operate a reptarium across the street as well. So many more details go into this but that’s just a basic background on this aquarium! Please go to it when it opens in a few months !!!!

[@ParaRob]

Brian Barczyk was such an awesome person!! His work with reptiles and letting people experience them was so special. It's amazing how much he put into the LegaSea Aquarium. I wish he could have seen it completed and been there for the grand opening, but he is definitely watching down from above and he will live on through LegaSea Aquarium forever! I'd love to visit it and his reptarium some day. He was always so positive and so kind. He made so many people smile and will continue to make people smile for many years to come. Thanks for sharing about LegaSea! I hope they have continued success! It is most certainly deserved.

[@dana5782-b8s]

Absolutely gut wrenching that Brian is gone.

[@brianaluett]

I was coming to the comments to say the same thing.❤❤❤❤

[@timonrachael]

I've been to the St. Louis Aquarium at Union Station since when I was 22 years old. You're gonna love this place it has a talking otter where guests can interact with him.

[@denisedarnell1641]

I absolutely LOVE THE SMOKY MOUNTAINS Aquarium . Swear its the best one I have ever been to in any state...so amazing and big variety of aqua worldlife

[@johnchambers8528]

I visited Union Station years ago while it was mostly a mall. It is great that they were able to repurpose it as an aquarium and other attractions.

[@mollysmith1226]

My husband and I visited this aquarium on our honeymoon last year. It was wonderful

[@jays379]

Jacob, Thank you for showcasing my hometown so well!! Highlights of St. Louis are wonderful to see

[@AbigailLewis-j3j]

I'm from St Louis and I've not been there yet. Thanks for taking me, I'll have to check it out in person sometime. Keep up the good work!

[@angelaedwards5124]

We have a WONDERFUL aquarium in Cali, The Monterey Bay Aquarium...❤

[@syedhamidi5643]

It's just great to see aquarium is adapting to the current technology 🫶 just amazing. Also you don't need the luggage props because you always with luggage all the time 😊😂

[@matthewfarmer2520]

Morning Jacob 🌞😊 the aquarium looks great at the union station. The fishes 🤓🐟🐠🐡🦞🦈

[@juanzapata492]

They incorporated a beautiful place

[@melanieiwasko6010]

Hey Jacob, it has been a while since I stayed at the Union station Hotel, but they used to do a light show in the lobby. It was awesome! 🎆🎇❤

[@BigAmericanGirlFan]

When it gets warmer, I would recommend Mystic Aquarium in Mystic, CT if you haven't been to it yet. They are one of the only US aquariums with beluga whales. Plus, you are close by to Mystic Seaport, which is a great historic museum.

[@STRANGExDAYSx]

You have to come here to Colorado springs!! There's so many museums and historical sights here👍 and Denver has an aquarium.

[@mcwatersd]

That is one awesome aquarium . I loved how they tied in the trains . Most selfie museums I find slightly boring but this one seems to be next level. Loved the different concept in the mirror maze . They have so many things for families to do .The carousel and Ferris wheel. That looks like an awesome restaurant to finish it off. Safe travels Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤

[@alicetheneko7529]

I remember years ago, long before the aquarium, they had an event during the winter for A Christmas Carol on one of the trains. I went back to Union Station back in 2023 to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was a fascinating experience.

[@JustinAldrich-y7d]

The aquarium was really clever, last time I was in St. Louis that wasn’t here. Thanks gain great. Job.

[@LindaSolis-b9s]

OMG- that aquarium is amazing!! You and I share an absolute LOVE for the aquariums and zoos. I saw some animals I've never seen in an aquarium- especially in that deep sea exhibit!! Was that a REAL giant squid, or some clever CGI? I didn't know you could even keep those in captivity! Awesome!! Love the squids and octopus. I'd seen some of the "deep sea" creatures on exhibit in Monterey, CA, but not the squid!! Or the Ceanothus!! Thank you so much!! 😀🥰

[@woeb0t]

It’s been so cool to see you stay in one city for a while. Especially a midwestern one. I’d love to see more midwestern content. You’re finally somewhere within driving distance for me.

[@BNSF-xd6og]

Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, CA is top tier in my opinion. Literally some gorgeous tanks and animals. Plus the area around it is extremly explorable.

[@brandoncarroll9652]

I've been to the aquarium in st.Louis at Union station with my aunt Amy, Uncle Bill, grandma, my sisters, cousin Jeremy and his family.

[@MattTheLizard]

Train overload! Really great stuff, Jacob

[@djpanther77]

When you are in Cincinnati, you should have went to the Newport aquarium. And as a big zoo and aquarium person , I definitely love seeing more of that here on the channel

[@mareekatz]

What a heat way to start the day !!!! This was so fun !!!!

[@angelarowe3472]

Jacob thank you for sharing this. This is one of the most unique and beautiful aquariums I’ve ever seen. Maybe someday I can go there and go through it and surely seems to be an experience. Thank you for sharing. Take care and be safe.🫶🏻🤠

[@timhagens340]

We were just there two weeks ago! It is a pretty amazing aquarium!! Plus the bonus of being inside the historic Union Station!

Thank you Jacob for sharing this adventure loved it ❤❤❤❤❤

[@bg199083]

That’s a very cool adventure you went on Jacob! Hope you enjoy it! 😊😊

[@ParaRob]

The Polar Express event is such a great time! You should come back and check it out. They do hot chocolate and cookies and sing Christmas carols on the train while it chugs along the tracks. It'd make for a great video! Thanks for all you do, Jacob! Your travels are always fun to watch and I've been able to visit many of the places you've featured while taking road trips with the family. A year or two ago, I was visiting places just a week before or a week after you were there. I'll bump into you at one of them sometime down the road. Best wishes to you!

[@vickys7370]

What a fun video! Really enjoyed 🤗thank you 🤗

I love when big cities have a Big wheel or big ferris wheel like the one in London so cool to experience ❤ only been on one once quite the views you get ❤❤❤❤

[@unicorn063]

Wow they got so much going on in this aquarium how cool and fun ❤❤❤❤❤

[@kingmo8789]

I always wanted to go to St. Louis Aquarium. Amazing video

[@Retromicky82]

Still think it would be cool to see Jacob doing a series where he travels from one side of America to the other (yes can be stressful but be a experience 😅) and would make an interesting watch .

[@history_leisure]

32:37 Next closet would be how Spain hosted both Expo '92 and the Summer Olympics in 1992, but in different cities. Spain decided to build the Madrid-Seville High Speed line because that was where the World's Fair was while Barcelona held the Olympics. I think Seville's airport is a lot smaller for being the capital of its region without transatlantic connections, so they assumed most people would fly to Madrid and maybe spend a day or two there to get over Jetlag before going to Atocha to reach Seville while Barcelona is a fairly major airport and Barcelona-Seville is a short flight anyway-like that route by high speed rail today is like the edge of high speed being competitive to flying

[@jdave5092]

Hey Jacob awsome video of St Louis Aquarium and train ride was super fun to. Enjoyed very much good job 👏

[@dylank9377]

Great video! If you love aquariums, one of the best in the country is the National Aquarium in Baltimore, Maryland. It’s my personal favorite!

[@HeyItsTim]

The coolest thing ever.

[@nadiaborzacchini1987]

I wanna visit I love stuff like this looks like a good time love seas life and creatures lol thanks for posting what was you favorite part of this much love to you and Jenn hope all is well God bless

[@Nancy-iv1yj]

I love aquariums Thanks Jscob😊

[@willku9000]

You should check out the Newport Aquarium in Newport Kentucky. Its small but it’s affordable, fun and right across the river from Cincinnati. Although maybe wait for the renovations to be done though

[@sophielane5919]

If you’ve never heard about the 1904 summer Olympic marathon, I’d definitely recommend researching it. It was wild!

[@LinecookThorJamiethaxton]

That's John Goodman for sure awesome video as always Jacob keep up the awesome work and be safe out there and enjoy your family time

[@MissingLinx]

The train shed has always been open aired. When it reopened as a shopping center in '85 it was also kinda of train themed also. That soda shop use to be a Hard Rock Cafe. That train you saw was Metrolink it's our lightrail transit system.

[@scottwebster5211]

15 years ago driving southern Indiana near Ohio river daytime saw the strangest thing run across the road about a football field in front of me until today it was my own personal cryptid now I realize it was a really big river otter

[@purplesquirrelgaming1465]

Hey there Jake you should check out The Newport Aquarium in Newport Kentucky. Very fun place to go for a date or just something fun because they have a room where you can pet stingrays and a baby shark. And definitely check out the shark bridge very fun.

[@whiskeywithcryptids7819]

The Chattanooga Aquarium is really nice

[@dprince6350]

Philadelphia zoo is one of the oldest zoos in America and one of the top zoos I think you would enjoy

[@Raees-Divitiae]

This is stunning! If I lived in the vicinity, I'd basically live in that aquarium. It has steampunk fish in a clock. Ya kinda can't ask for more.

[@byallmeansneccasary6884]

Have u ever been to the Chicago aquarium. Very big and beautiful its definitely a must see

[@dianadelahaye7660]

That is a cool simulation of a train iride a😊very creative idea!An amazing place.😊

[@ToeJamTerryGaming]

You should definitely need to go to the Newport aquarium in Newport Kentucky

[@tylercollins3130]

I never knew about St. Louis hosting the Worlds Fair and the Olympics. It’s a pretty fun place to explore.

[@locotuss]

Yep the train station as you enter the roof was made that way,

[@CollectorJeff]

Wonders of wildlife and Aquarium at the Bass Pro shop in Springfield,Mo!! Best one I have been to!

[@coinclecter]

The Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta is a must, if you haven't been.

[@unicorn063]

Wow I did not know the Olympics were held there in 1904 world fair either Thankyou for sharing that info very cool 😎 ❤

[@InkblotHyena]

Well, Jacob, if you're looking for cool aquariums to check out, I'd say be on the lookout if you're ever in Connecticut! I think Mystic Aquarium is very nice, and there's also the Old Mystic Village and the Mystic Seaport. I highly recommend them all, especially since I volunteered at Mystic Seaport for a few summers about a decade ago now. Additionally, if you're still in a train mood, Essex Steam Train & Riverboat is a nice stop in Connecticut as well. And if you _do_ head up to Mystic Seaport, watch out for the Charles W. Morgan. Old whaling ship, and she still smells like it, ha ha

[@amandas8621]

There is a nice aquarium in Manteo, NC. Would you ever consider doing an outer banks trip?

[@denisefink507]

Hey Jacob, have you been to the Dallas Aquarium,its really nice and when i went a few years ago,they had manatees. San Antonio just opened one but I havent been there yet. Moody Gardens in Galveston and Im sure you have already been to the Texas State Aquarium in Corpus Christi. Great to see you having so much fun as always!

[@Andrew271980A]

Before the Aquarium and entertainment center, it was Union Station open type mall.

[@peterdean9181]

I remember the song you sang in the St. Louis Gateway Arch while with Adam.

[@NoahSmith-gb5go]

I would love too go too this aquriam and ride that ferris-wheel they both look like fun

[@oliverqueen4327]

Hey Jacob, been watching for a while now. Been hoping you'd visit Colorado. If you're in Denver, it's worth checking out the Molly Brown house and grabbing a bite at Pint's Pub nearby. Safe travels!
