The zoo vist here in STL was enjoyable. They do require you to RSVP any tickets in advance for COVID restrictions even though it is free entry. You are required to wear a mask while entering the zoo itself and any indoor exhibit but while walking you may take it off which was nice since it was so muggy out when we visited.

What they don't tell you is if you wish to see certain animals you have to buy passes to see them as well.

The set up of some habitats did not make sense to me a small animal or two with a bigger location where as a larger animal in a smaller area than expected. Also a small portion of animal habitats were vacant or unable to enter due to COVID.

It was hit and miss with customer service some employees were nice like in the gift shops and happy to help while others food venues seemed inconvenienced when we needed drinks or had they expected us to know kind of attitude.

Overall I did enjoy this zoo as a first time guest but was not so impressed that I will visit again. Nothing towards them but I personally have not yet found a zoo better than OKC and the experience they have offer.

They do have very healthy and beautiful animals that like to pose for the camera.
