There is so much to do! Relax, eat and shop. Don't forget the amazing fountains across the road. Summer in St. Louis is so lovely.

About 10 years back, the Union Station was bustling with life, with shops, restaurants and people. Sadly, it wears a forlorn look now, with most vendors having vacated the place. The fudge shop still operates (where one gets an entertaining look at fudge preparation), but there is little else to visit the Union Station for these days!

It's gone down hill. This was the place I loved to shop for all my St Louis gear but now I don't take anyone there. The shops are pretty cheap and sparse. Food court was good food but now just junky. I am probably not going back til the reviews come up!!

I was so excited to check this place out and man was I ever disappointed when we did. We had barely made it inside before someone was trying to run a con on my husband.

The economy has obviously hit the mall hard. Only a handful of shops and food-court restaurants remain. A few tourist milled about, but mostly there were some... More

Originally built in 1894 as a working train station. I have heard this was the only train station in the county where the trains backed in. The outside of the building is constructed of stone in the French Chateaux style believed to be designed by the architect H.H. Richardson. Some of the inside of what was the main part of... More

Union Station used to be really cool. I remember when it was always crowded and when the place had all of the best restaurants. Everyone wanted to hang out there. Now it has kind of died. The shops are bland and carry a lot of knock-off merchandise. I wish they could revitalize it.
