ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Aquarium doesn't open until Christmas Day, but we got a sneak peek!

As you walk into the aquarium, the entrance halls are filled with high tech screens and light displays.

Then you go into the grand lobby with its curved ceiling that displays a changing show featuring sea life, that is set to music.

Then there's the Train Experience that takes guests into the Aquarium through a virtual ride where you start in the year 1894.

We also got a look at the Confluence that features environments filled with fish found at the bottom of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. 

And a look at the Global Rivers section featuring the River Monster habitat and the piranha habitat.

The aquarium opens on Christmas, but you can buy tickets now.

Strange sounds stir me at 3am. A flame-grilled crackling. An eruption of bubbles. The snapping of tiny bones. Ahead of me, two glassy eyes rest upon a rubber-lipped frown. Gliding with rock star swagger, the bloated marine monster bears an uncanny resemblance to Mick Jagger – and tonight this aquatic Rolling Stone is performing just metres from my bed.

He's not alone. Dozens of giant trevally fish have joined the bumblebee grouper at this frantic after-hours party, gobbling at gusts of tiny silver fish as they blow through the water like cosmic dust. Agitated by moon and tide, the ocean is at its liveliest after dark and I don't even have to get wet to experience it. This is what it's like to...

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Reviews: Horrified SeaQuest Aquarium Visitors Tell All | PETA - PETA Reviews: Horrified SeaQuest Aquarium Visitors Tell All | PETA - PETA Posted: 21 Sep 2020 12:00 AM PDT SeaQuest aquariums—which are owned by Vince Covino—are plagued by issues: animal deaths, legal violations, injuries to employees and members of the public from direct contact with animals, and customer reviews that'll make your jaw drop (and not in a good way). So if you've ever considered visiting a SeaQuest location or any other Covino-operated aquarium, do yourself and animals a favor: Learn from these TripAdvisor and Yelp reviewers. At SeaQuest Folsom in California, an otter was apparently whacked with a broom. "This place smells the animals look tortured and starved. I'm not a fan of this place. Took my family and we ran out of there. … We will never go back. Also we saw an employee wack an otter with a broom. … If you love animals you will hate t
