Located in Forest Park in the heart of St. Louis is a wonderful zoo, and the best part is the FREE admission. The Saint Louis Zoo has educated, entertained and earned a place in the hearts of St. Louisans for generations. With the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in 1904, there began a long and slow process to establish a zoological park. The St. Louis Zoological Society was formed in 1910. The City of St. Louis set aside 77 acres in Forest Park for a zoo and named a Zoological Board of Control in 1913. State legislation provided that "the zoo shall be forever free," which has kept the Zoo accessible to millions of visitors ever since. This is a large zoo, with beautiful fountains, sculptures and many animals. Make sure you wear your walking shoes! There are a few parts of the zoo that charge a minimal fee (the children's zoo, the train etc.), but you can have a great day here and never spend a penny. Food is available at various eateries within the zoo. http://www.stlzoo.org/

This is a great place for kids and adults alike! Although it may be pricey to bring an entire family - it is worth the money. You could spend an entire day here and still have more to do. The pretend play and imagination that comes out of just a little while at this place is amazing. Keep an eye out for coupons....they have some buy one get ones out there.

I am a native St. Louisan and have loved this city since day 1 !! I finally was able to go up into the arch at the age of 26 ( I am afraid of heights) and Absolutely loved the view!) Now I am soon to move to another city -due to a job change for my fiance- and I know that the image of the ARCH is one that I will always have with me when I think of my hometown! Check out the museum at the base of the arch too- it is fantastic, full of the stories of Lewis and Clark!
Pros: views
Cons: hours, crowded

Did you ever watch Crank Yankers? I love that show...anyway, let me quote the infamous Special Ed when I say, Yay, yay, THE ZOO!! THE ANIMALS!! A TRAIN RIDE!! Yaaaaayyyyyy. That's the way I felt visiting this fab zoo: just like a giddy kid again.
My favorite parts were the bird exhibits where the coolest dudes with feathers were strutting around the place, steps in front of me. There was actually a gorgeous peacock walking outside of the exhibit much to the amusement of everyone around the area. I also loved the giraffes and the train ride. Yes, even giant "kids" like me can have a blast on this 'too sweet for words' train. Besides, my old feet couldn't walk anymore and it was an easy way to see the whole park :)
