Saint Louis Zoo

This world renowned, 90-acre zoo is home to more than 17,000 animals; many of them are rare and endangered. 

The Saint Louis Zoo is dedicated to connecting people to animals. 

Meet Huckleberry and Finley, two grizzly bear siblings at Centene Grizzly Ridge, which opened in September 2017.

At McDonnell Polar Bear Point, visitors can go nose-to-nose with a polar bear in this state-of-the-art habitat that includes underwater views.

Penguin and Puffin Coast offers an underwater view of these oceanic birds.

Judy and Jerry Kent Family Sea Lion Sound is a 1.5 acre exhibit right in the heart of the Zoo. Visitors can walk through an underwater tunnel into the seal and sea lions' habitat to see the animals swimming all around them. The First Bank Sea Lion Show (in season) showcases sea lion behavior, animal fun facts and the need for conserving the sea lions' ocean habitat.

This is the perfect place for family fun. General admission is free. There are fees for some special attractions.
