This year, the St. Louis Aquarium is going bigger, brighter, and longer. For the first time, with two teams, freshwater grit meets saltwater flow. Two waters. One splashy showdown. Cheer them on as animal training takes center stage.

Photo Op:
Capture the spirit of the season at the interactive photo station. With Spring Training-themed props, like oversized foam fingers to vintage-style bats,  your crew can create the ultimate fan photo. Whether you’re a heavy hitter or a rookie, these props are the perfect way to knock your group shots out of the park!

Design your own Team Pennant:
Calling all young MVPs! It's time to show your team spirit at the KidZone. Grab a seat, pick your side, and let your creativity run wild!

Build your Dream Team:
When you arrive, grab your Official Team Roster. One side features our incredible “Free Agent” animals and the other side is a blank slate waiting for your big-league decisions. Visit animal habitats throughout the Aquarium and chat with the team to learn more about each animal’s unique skills and personality.  Hear fun facts about their natural abilities and find out how those real-life traits would translate to the field — speed, teamwork, balance, strategy, and more. Choose your favorites and fill in your blank lineup to build a team that would be unstoppable in the Aqua League!

Scheduled Events:
Animal All-Star Presentations: Get up close with the Aquarium's most iconic residents! Watch them show off their natural talents and learn what makes them a true "All-Star." Every presentation attendee has the chance to score an Exclusive All-Star Trading Card featuring the animal you just met!

Each card features stunning photography and detailed "scouting reports" so you can learn the stats and stories of your favorite animals.
