The St. Louis Aquarium Foundation provides free admission ticket vouchers* for the Aquarium Experience to every approved organization! We do not fund any additional Union Station attraction tickets.

Parking in our Union Station Lot (on 18th Street) is $5.00 total with every validated Aquarium ticket (per each vehicle). This $5.00 fee is not covered by the St. Louis Aquarium Foundation.

*Partners may receive up to 300 ticket vouchers per year.  Voucher allocations are determined by our team based on past usage, community members served, and available allocations.

Unfortunately, we are unable to provide complimentary St. Louis Aquarium admission to individuals and families directly. If you are connected with a local community organization, service agency, or nonprofit, we encourage them to apply to become a Community Partner to arrange for their families to visit!
