Here’s a fun learning event for the kids!
Keeping up with the 13,000 animals that live at the St. Louis Aquarium at Union Station is going to be easier starting this week with a “QuaranStream” virtual visit on Facebook every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10 to 11 a.m.
To see the live video of the Aquarium’s galleries, go to: www.facebook.com/aquariumstl.
Team members are hard at work keeping the animals in the Aquarium’s care safe and well-tended during the temporary closing. The
“QuaranStream” will feature live video from their cameras set to soothing music.
Hosted Facebook Live events also are planned for Tuesdays and Thursdays each week during the Aquarium’s closure. Topics and times will be announced on the Aquarium’s Facebook page and other social media accounts @aquariumstl.
The first hosted Facebook Live from the Aquarium was last week’s virtual breakfast with Coconut the sloth, which attracted more than 15,000 viewers during the event. Watch the video here.
