The Saint Louis Zoo… it’s a classic. Sure, it’s got the conservation mission, but let’s be honest – you’re going for the animals. Established back in 1910, they’ve had over a century to get this right. They pack in the crowds, so plan accordingly if you hate lines.
Here’s what’s worth your time: River’s Edge gets you up close with hippos, rhinos, and those always-hungry cheetahs. Sea Lion Sound? Adorable. The penguins are hilarious. The WildCare Park is great if you’ve got kids – hands-on stuff to keep them engaged.
Parking is a pain. Get there early or be prepared to walk. Also, those “special exhibits” cost extra, and honestly, some aren’t worth it. The food is overpriced (what else is new?) Pack snacks if you can.
The Zoo does some good educational stuff, and they host fun events for adults and kids throughout the year. Check their website if that interests you. No matter what, it’s a St. Louis institution. Odds are, you’ll have a good time.
