Saint Louis Zoo

It always amazes me that such a phenomenally good zoo is free to the public! The newer areas are designed with a lot of thought, and perfectly maintained. My favorite place for a picnic is the historic area, with the picnic tables right in the middle of the beautifully landscaped shady valley, lined on both sides by the old zoo buildings. Staff is helpful and knowledgeable, with interesting exhibits. It's a VERY large, sprawling place. Don't be surprised if you can't see it all in just one visit!

Nice zoo. Wasn’t crowded at all. Very hot out would recommend bringing personal fan or coming on a cool day. Gift shop items were reasonably priced. Also if you choose to touch the sting rays be aware of the fact that there Is no soap to wash your hands with. Everything was good except for the fact that you still need to pay for refills with the souvenir cup otherwise great experience.

So much to see. Animals are active in the morning. Get your steps in. Amazing offerings for any zoo and entry is free. Signage is educational. Great place to learn! Parking is paid, but if you arrive early you can park on the street just outside of parking lot.

My family really enjoyed the St. Louis zoo! While you must make a free reservation to get in the zoo, the extra exhibits like petting stingrays and riding the train, etc call for tickets to get in. We purchased the adventure passes when we got in for 14.95 each and we could visit this exhibit is many times as we wanted during the day. You can bring your own food as long as you don't bring glass. The animals were amazing when we went. We will definitely do this again
