Great experience. Bought the adventure pass and it was well worth it. Take plenty of drinks and snacks. We did ride the train which was fun. There are no views of the animals from the train, but it was great to help take you to the next area to see the animals and attractions.

This free zoo is such a gem. I absolutely love the penguin exhibit. It's cold! There's also a very cool area for children to play and have up close views of animals along the Primate Canopy Trail. There's free street parking or paid lots.

The best zoo. I love how family friendly and easy the zoo is to get around. I have gone three times since moving to STL and what is more amazing than the fact that it is free fun for all!So grateful to have such a great activity so close by!
