Big renovations planned for STL Union Station

On Monday, the owner of historic St. Louis Union Station announced plans to transform the interior and exterior of the shopping, lodging and restaurant destination. The plans include the addition of a 200-foot Ferris wheel and the possibility of a new major family attraction.

Union Station, which is owned by St. Louis-based Lodging Hospitality Management, would be home to a new food-train park under the facility’s train shed, added green spaces, light shows and a fountain and fire show at its lake. Its indoor mall would be converted to 48 train-themed hotel rooms and 30,000 square feet is slated for private events.

Another 75,000 square feet indoors is being considered for “a major family attraction,” with more details to be released this spring.
