Road construction in St. Louis wasn't in the GPS, so we got a little lost on the way to the zoo. After many turns to get back on track, we finally made it. But literally as we are pulling into the parking lot, it starts to rain! It lets up to a sprinkle as we are walking in, but after potty breaks, it is a downpour! We huddled under a big bush til it let up then headed to the reptile house and monkey house. Both were indoors. After those 2 exhibits, we were on our way to all the outdoor animals.
St. Louis Zoo is wonderful! All the animals are close enough to see, and the ones that need bigger areas have multiple places to stop and see them. So you should always be able to get a good look.
Another great exhibit there is the indoor penguin and puffin habitat. It's pretty cold in there, but you can see them swim and stand up on the land. We really enjoyed this particular puffin swimming, splashing, and showing off.
Probably the best exhibit for our family was the hippos. The exhibit was half in the water, half on land with a thick glass front where you could stand up close and see them. One just kept swimming in circles so we could really see him! Malea especially enjoyed the hippos!
After 3 hours at the zoo, we were off to grab some fast food and hit the road til dinner.
