The St. Louis zoo is an awesome place to visit. It is free and has all sorts of animals. It is great for children and adults. My husband and I really enjoyed our visit. It was nice to casually walk around and check out the different exhibits. The hippos seemed to be a big hit as they swam past the... more

We love taking our boyz to the Zoo. The price is right - FREE. The childrens zoo does cost a few dollars, butt the kids enjoy it. Parking costs 11.00 or you an park on the surface streets in Forest Park for FREE. This year they had the Stingray exhibit and it cost 3.00 but was well worth it. GREAT... more

As a St. Louisan, I am proud to 'brag' on our local zoo - it is totally free admission, which having traveled throughout the United States, I feel is rare - and along with it being free, it is one of the top-rated zoos in the U.S. It is very clean and the personnel are friendly and helpful. There are... more

I love this zoo. It has alot of animals and is free to get in. Pay to park but who cares? It is a great zoo and takes all day to go through. more

My wife and 2 daughters (ages 7 & 5) were on a road trip back from Branson to Chicago, and we had a morning in St. Louis to find something to do. The glowing recommmendations of others on TripAdvisor proved very true. We loved it! It was a Monday in late August - I'm not sure if kids were in... more

We loved that this zoo was free (however they charge $11 for parking and being a small town girl, I don't understanding all these big city parking fees- it drives me crazy!). We went on a saturday when it was cool and the animals we got to see were very active. Especially the 7 or so tigers that were playing... more

First of all, it's a free zoo. There's parking next to the zoo, but since you're already walking might as well use the free gravel parking lot that's a 2 minute walk away. Every zoo I visited has one exhibit that stands out from the rest and it's the penguin exhibit. If you're going to in the summer, I highly... more

By far the best zoo we've experienced in the nation. more

We love to visit the zoo!!! So many animals to see!!! You can also go there early 8am to 9am and take advantage of the free carousel and free sting ray exhibit (you will get to pet live sting rays!!). The children's museum is also free during this time, but we are not as impressed with this and believe it... more
