Designed in Downtown St. Louis: Iconic Family Experiences Across America

Visitors, including children, stand in a blue-lit station-like gallery with arched entrances labeled "TRAINS" while they look up at a vivid, rippling aquatic ceiling projection of colorful reflections and a large silhouetted manta ray above a round clock window.

PGAV Destinations, based in the heart of Downtown St. Louis, is the creative powerhouse behind some of America’s most unforgettable family attractions — including the St. Louis Aquarium at Union Station and the Cardinals Hall of Fame & Museum in Ballpark Village.

PGAV’s reach goes far beyond the St. Louis region. The firm is behind world-class destinations like SeaWorld Abu Dhabi, Ferrari Land, Busch Gardens, and more — all imagined and designed in Downtown St. Louis.

“We’re among the best in the world at what we do,” said PGAV chairman and principal Mike Konzen. “I’m not kidding you when I say that. I think it’s important to say because I want people to know that such organizations exist here. I think it’s really important that people become more aware, as a matter of civic pride… Downtown’s full of amazing businesses that do amazing things, and we are part of that.” (St. Louis Magazine)
