Exciting New Local Attractions: From Sobela Ocean Aquarium to Pennway Point District

Missouri continues to develop new attractions for both residents and visitors. One such place is the Sobela Ocean Aquarium at the Kansas City Zoo. It houses around 8,000 marine animals in 34 habitats and educates visitors on ocean life. The aquarium also participates in conservation efforts, including caring for young sea otters separated from their mothers.

The Landing Current River in Van Buren, located in the Ozarks, has recently reopened after a fire in September 2021. It now offers rooms with views of the Current River and various float trips. After a day of activities, visitors can relax at The Blue Heron restaurant.

Kansas City has added the KC Wheel, a 150-foot Ferris wheel, to its attractions. Operating throughout the year and accessible to wheelchairs, it's part of the new Pennway Point entertainment district. This district, set in repurposed industrial buildings, will offer entertainment options like restaurants, live venues, mini golf, and city gardens.

The Pennway Point district will also organize activities such as outdoor volleyball, tailgating events, sports watch parties, outdoor movies, and winter ice skating. The district's neon lights contribute to its appeal.

Finally, the 21c Museum Hotel in downtown St. Louis adds to the city's thriving arts scene. It's part of North America's only multi-venue museum dedicated to 21st-century art. The hotel displays original art in guest rooms and rotating exhibits of emerging artists. The museum is open to the public 24/7, making it a top destination for art lovers.
