No matter where we move around this beautiful country the zoo is always one of our first and most favorite places to check out and become familiar with over the course of our stay. There are so many reasons to love the zoo. First, it's often free - or else comes at a very reasonable rate for a years pass. Second, it's an activity that offers excitement and exercise all in one package. Third, it's way easier to keep your eye on multiple children who are walking at a slow pace in front of you, verses a museum or store with numerous corners to turn and racks to hide in. Fourth and finally, did I mention it's often free? The St. Louis zoo has been nothing less than spectacular. We've had multiple outings already that were absolutely fantastic, and that's with temperatures reaching the 100's! That must be why they offer so many opportunities to get wet - and boy do our kids take them.
