Its free to get in but you definitely need to have alotted alot of time. They have a build a bear inside the zoo with selected animals that can only be purchased here. Walk around.--go to the feedings but dont waste your money on the extras

It is free except I parked down the street because parking was $6. My favorite exhibit was the penguin exhibit. Also, there is a railroad and railroad crossings throughout the park. There is a graffiti exhibit and a lion exhibit. At the lion and gorilla exhibit, don't drop anything in or if you drop items in where the animals live, they will not retrieve it for you. There is also a cheetah exhibit and panther exhibit. They like to pace because they are unhappy and hungry. They have a carousel that lasts three minutes expect they will stop the carousel if you don't follow the carousel rules. I don't like buying Coke products such as Sprite here. It cost $3 for a bottle and they will not take any credit cards. I can get a bottle of Diet Coke or Sprite for $1.39 at most places. Still, the zoo was enjoyable.

Located in beautiful Forest Park, the zoo is well worth the $9 parking! My two boys loved the fact that they got their very own maps to follow and the maps are clearly and easily marked so they could point out which animals they wanted to see.
I was also impressed with the cleanliness of the grounds. I have been to other zoos where the grounds were very littered.
The food is a little pricey, but that is expected of any park.
They also have a lot of shows such as the sea lion show, a bird show, and various others depending on what is scheduled for that time of the year.
There is also a train that you can ride for additional fees, but was fun for the kids. Also for an additional fee, you can ride the carousel.
Great day of family fun! Just remember the sunscreen!

St. Louis Zoo is a great place to spend the day—and it's free! One of the few free zoos in the U.S. (Though, they do charge for parking, so I suppose that makes up for it.) It's a great place for kids of any age. Most of it's outdoor walking, so wear comfy shoes. It's also open year-round, so keep the weather in mind too.

This zoo is great. There is free admission for everyone, and it is one of the best-maintained and cleanest zoos I've ever seen. They have a great penguin exhibit, and you actually go through an open-air exhibit with freezing temperatures, which just adds to the experience, as you watch the penguins in their natural habitat. They offer a variety of shows throughout the day. They also have a train you can ride throughout the park, and although the views aren't great, the ride is fun but does cost a small amount. They also have a children's petting zoo, which is always fun for the kiddos.
This is a must-see of St. Louis! A side note: the zoo offers parking for $8. You can park over in another parking lot for free and walk down the street to save some cash.
