We enjoyed having a great weather kind of day. We went just before lunch and grabbed a bite while we were there. Not as expensive as most parks charge for the food. We had a very enjoyable afternoon, and still didn't get to see all the animals. Great time anyway. Will come back again.
What an amazing zoo. And it is Free!!! Anyone should make this a stop in St. louis. I was amazed at the grounds and the animals and the amount of natural habitat in this zoo. They have done alot of fantastic work there. We did purchase the safari pass for $10 which allowed us unlimited train rides, 2 different 3-D movies, 2 simulator rides, 2 ...
Again we were looking for free things to do and the ZOO was one of them, my husband and I always try to find a zoo when we go on vacation. It cost us 11.00 to park which I didnt mind paying it goes to help get supplies for the animals and then it was free to get in. The outside was packed with school kids and we thought we would never be able to ...

Best Trip Of My Life

I am from Fresno Ca. I went to St. Louis on busines but made time to do some sightseeing. I am so glad I did. I was amazed. This zoo is nothing like our local zoo. I spent four hours just wondering thru. Also visited the Science Center. I could not believe it was all free. Our next family vacation will be to St. Louis.
Marlin Perkins of Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom probably had the biggest influence on how the St. Louis Zoo has ended up. He passed away 14 June 1986. We St. Louisan's owe him a debt of gratitude for making the Zoo one of the best free Zoo's in North America!

Best Zoo
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/15/09
This is an amazing zoo my husband and I went there by ourselves and could not believe it was FREE! We live in Kansas City and the zoo here cost $9 to get in and does not even hold a candle to the STL zoo. We were able to walk thru the whole zoo in less than 2 hours and see the animals up close at home the animals are so far apart and far away. We are returning real soon with the children and cant wait they are going to have a blast:)

St.Loui Zoo
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/12/09
I loved this place!! I could not believe the Admission was FREE!! The only thing I did not like was that they did not have the Boa constrictor!! i would surely recomend this to friends
I just cannot believe that this zoo if free from admission!! The zoo is awsome!! The landscaping was perfect. Great placement for the animals, and there was actually great animals to see. Not like our zoo in Springfield,Mo. that you have to pay for. It is pathetic compared to a FREE zoo. I urge anyone to go visit. It is absolutley beautifull!! Great job St.Louis. You have an awsome zoo program!!!!!
