🎃🏴‍☠️ LOOKING FOR SOME SPOOKTACULAR HALLOWEEN FUN WITH THE KIDS?! 👻🍬

Got five kids to entertain? Or even just one or two?! 🤣

The St. Louis Aquarium at Union Station is currently hosting Pirates & Pumpkins, complete with a special TRICK-OR-TREATING UPGRADE! 🎃🍭

We’re talking AMAZING ocean, river, and sea life, pumpkins, pirate treasure, pirates, candy, sensory experiences, and SO MUCH MORE to discover! 🐠🦈🐙

And the best part?! THE AQUARIUM IS JUST THE BEGINNING! ❤️

Because when you visit St. Louis Union Station, you’re stepping into an entire destination filled with family fun!

Seriously, you could spend an ENTIRE DAY exploring everything Union Station has to offer!

And with FIVE kids ranging from two to ten years old, trust me when I say that finding somewhere with something for EVERYONE is a pretty big deal! 🤣❤️

Thanks to complimentary Aquarium admission and trick-or-treating tickets provided to our family by the St. Louis Aquarium and Union Station teams, we had the opportunity to experience Pirates & Pumpkins together — and the kids had an absolute BLAST! From exploring the Aquarium to collecting Halloween treats and discovering new underwater friends, it was a day to remember. All of the opinions and experiences I’m sharing are our own. ❤️

Of course, there were a few toddler meltdowns along the way, because what would a family outing be without a little chaos?! 🤣

The tears were real. We got into trouble. The day was almost over LOL.

But that’s all part of the fun!

🎃🍬 DIDN’T MAKE IT YET?! THERE’S STILL TIME!

The remaining Pirates & Pumpkins trick-or-treating dates are:

  • 🏴‍☠️ Friday, October 23 | 2–6 PM
  • 🍬 Saturday, October 24 | 2–6 PM
  • 👻 Friday, October 30 | 2–6 PM
  • 🎃 Saturday, October 31 | 9 AM–6 PM — HALLOWEEN!

The trick-or-treating experience is available as an additional $5 upgrade with Aquarium admission. Other Union Station attractions may require separate admission. Check the Aquarium’s official Pirates & Pumpkins page for details before visiting.

A HUGE thank-you to Nancy and the wonderful teams at @aquariumstl and @unionstationstl for inviting our family to experience the Halloween festivities! ❤️

And an extra-special thank-you to the kind Aquarium staff who helped make sure all five of our kids could enjoy the trick-or-treating experience. Those little moments of kindness make such a difference!

So grab your little pirates, princesses, superheroes, and candy collectors and head out for some SPOOKTACULAR Halloween fun!

Have you visited the St. Louis Aquarium or experienced Pirates & Pumpkins yet?! 🎃❤️

And guess what?! Pirates & Pumpkins isn’t a one-time thing! It’s been bringing Halloween magic to the St. Louis Aquarium for several years now, and I’m already hoping we’ll get to go back next year! I think the Geggs may have found ourselves a new Halloween tradition. 🎃🏴‍☠️❤️

Trying to stay awake for all things HALLOWEENY,

Kelly I’M ME

Feel free to partake in the chaos that is my life! 5 kids, a giant TBR list, dreamer of vacations, researcher of anything remotely interesting. Sums it up in a nutshell. Did I mention chaos? Lots. Of. Chaos.
