The visitors get to watch the natural native habitat and wildlife species of Missouri, the pond life from beneath, a 'Out to Sea' exhibit that features a 21 feet deep and 225,000 gallon aquarium which is a home of the sharks and several tropical fishes.

World's Largest Fork

A giant metallic fork entering the ground is an unusual sight in an otherwise normal setting of a brick-walled office building. Rising for a height of 35 feet and weighing approximately 11 tons, the fork reaches up to the top-most floor of the three-storeyed building. Installed in 1998, the plaque here claims that this fork is the world's tallest one, something that draws people to this place.
