Play Up High with the Whole Family on this Indoor Ropes Course at the Union Hotel!

After we visited the St. Louis Aquarium, we ended our visit near the Ropes Course inside the Union Hotel.  My girls begged me to let them try it and, for only $5/child for the Sky Tikes, we decided to give it a go! My girls are 6 and 5 and they really enjoyed the Sky Tikes which is made for visitors under 48 inches tall.  The highlight was the "zip line" and which was surprisingly fun for my girls but it would have been doable for much smaller toddlers.  We spent about ~30 minutes and had the place relatively to ourselves.  It was a great place to practice agility, hand / eye / foot coordination and for the kids to get some energy out.

For older children or for more advanced 6 year olds, you may want to try the general admission (though note that guests 12 and under must be accompanied by a paid adult 18+ and all participants must wear shoes with a closed back for the bigger General Admission course).  The bigger course looked like it would have been a lot of fun for older children and there were also a lot of adults enjoying themselves!  I'd love to come back when my kids are older.

This was a great activity for a cold, rainy day!

Per the website: 

"Do you have what it takes to soar 3-stories up? Test your agility, strength and nerves on our indoor Ropes Course overlooking historic Union Station. More than 90,000-cubic feet of climbing space and 30 obstacles take you almost to the top of the trainshed. Feeling really brave? Try the SkyRailTM, a 100-foot long rigid zip line that glides 50 feet above the Union Station lobby. You are in control of where to go and what to do, making this a sure hit for adventurers of all ages and skill level! "

Note: Last ticket is sold at 4:30pm Sun-Thu and 7:30pm Fri-Sat.
