Saint Louis Zoo

Opened in 1910 within Forest Park in St. Louis, Missouri, this zoo spans about 90 acres and cares for some 18,700 animals across more than 603 species. General admission is free, and it draws roughly three million visitors a year. Its landmark 1904 Flight Cage, a legacy of the World's Fair, is an icon of the grounds, and USA Today named it the best zoo in the United States in 2017 and 2018.
