Story

Located on 90 acres in Forest Park, the Saint Louis Zoo is home to more than 603 species of animals, many of them rare and endangered. It is one of the few free zoos in the nation and has been voted America's Top Free Attraction. The Zoo annually attracts three million visitors, who can see 14,840 wild animals—including the thousands of leaf cutters and butterflies at the Zoo.

Since its 1910 founding, the Zoo has been renowned for its beautiful naturalistic exhibits, its diverse collection of animals and its innovative approaches to animal management, wildlife conservation, research and education. The Zoo’s Education Department staff—the largest among the nation’s zoos—offers programs designed to help visitors of all ages and abilities learn through experience, involvement and discovery. Of the three million visitors hosted annually by the Saint Louis Zoo, approximately 1.7 million visitors interacted with an Educational Interpreter, Zoo Docent or Zookeeper who provided educational experiences and information.

Love this place. Rated in the top 10 zoos in the country and still offers free entrance to all. One of the best places to be in St. Louis with your family in any given day. Very nice collection, love the Asian section with the elephants, African section with lions, Polar bear is always a good attraction, and penguins section. The zoo is well spread with a decent walking distances, can use the zooline railroad too and restaurants are well placed for good resting area. Overall the best place for the money, and it is mostly free...

The Saint Louis Zoo is truly a gem. Not only is it a one of a kind attraction for the St. Louis area, but it is one of the best Zoos in the country and the best FREE anything in the country. Even though the zoo is already huge, it is planning to expand in a way that will make it even better both for the attendees, as well as the animals. They put on great events and we try to go at least once a year. It is a wonderful place to visit for all ages. If you don't want to pay for on-site parking. There is ample free parking throughout forest park, though you may have to walk a little. Good thing the park itself is very scenic!

Excellent place to take your family. Best Zoo for the money....FREE!! Concessions weren't overly priced. And you can get a beer. Great exhibits. The polar bear was great.

This zoo is free and awesome! Their red pandas always seem to be out and about when I'm there. The penguin exhibit is amazing. The penguins are so close you could easily reach out and touch them. There are plenty of indoor exhibits, so don't let cold weather or a rainy day keep you from visiting! Don't bother paying for parking, there are plenty of free spots past the main lot, and if those are full there is a free-to-park lot near the art museum a short walk away.

Best zoo around! Free parking in Forest Park, and free entrance to the zoo! Always updating and working on new and old areas. Lot parking is available near one entrance. Kids petting zoo, train rides, inside activities and gift shops. It's a full day of family fun, for sure.
