As an educator, the Zoo continues to be a great resource for all. If visiting, be sure to see what childrens' and families' day course may be available. I am extremely interested in talking to cslang or anyone else with memories of elephant rides, the purchase of this elephant, or anything else pertaining to the first years of the St. Louis Zoo. Any family members still around from the first elephant riders, photos or certificates. Putting together history project for this time in Zoo history.
