Reviews
"I love Raja and the others. I'm always so excited to see them and they're the reason why I come to the zoo every year"
"River’s Edge takes you on a fun 3/4 of a mile trail across various habitats through four major river systems along rivers in South America, Asia, Africa and Missouri. There are some bathroom stops at about the halfway point on the trail. The elephants were definitely the highlight for me because there were so many of them and they are just such majestic beasts. The trail is shaped beautifully with rock and water features in between the habitats."
"I remember when I was a little boy the "River's Edge" opened up and it's been inspiring me ever since. The individuals that planned and maintain this area are absolute spectacular human beings for bringing such a unique, endemic feeling all that way to St. Louis. You feel as if you're waking through the African savanna or something similar while walking the River's Edge."
"Me and my husband love taking a baby Ozzie to the zoo! We all absolutely love animals. We love going for Boo at the Zoo and the Wild Light at Christmas! Our little man Ozzie loves seeing the penguins they are definitely his favorite and one of mine but I also really love the elephants."
"The St. Louis Zoo is such an amazing place! First, it's FREE! Then they keep adding great exhibits with Grizzly bears. You can get so close that you will know what a real bear smells like. Go to the zoo and take your kids."
