Saint Louis Zoo, St. Louis, Missouri (September, 2009)

 
As the crown jewel of St. Louis' famous Forest Park, the zoo is constantly rated as one of the top in the nation.  And, even better, it is tax supported and is free to visitors,

The sheer size and diversity of exhibits provided us with a full six hours of entertainment which is quite a bit for a zoo!  They have a good website to help plan your visit.

We entered from the south parking lot and hit the River's Edge area which is very well landscaped and full of cool animals including the elephants.  This guy seemed to be modeling for us for a few minutes before going about his business again.
