We had a fun day at the St. Louis Zoo. We visited the Children’s Zoo first and then went to the new polar bear exhibit. This was definitely a highlight for all of us, but the kids especially as the polar bear was literally swimming right next to them.
We also went for a ride on the train, which is always fun!
Then, we spent the day just wandering through the different exhibits. Unfortunately, the kids were “attacked” by this snake! John allowed the snake to bite him so that Laura could steal one of the snake’s eggs.
Not to worry, both kids were okay after the “attack.” We spent a while wandering through the Sea Lion tunnel and just watching them from above. The kids decided to see how hard it is to balance a ball on their noses. Laura went first…
She decided it was definitely not as easy as a Sea Lion makes it look. Then, John stepped up for a turn…
He also declared it difficult. Both kids decided that maybe they weren’t cut out to be Sea Lions. We ended the day wandering through the bird and reptile houses on Historic Hill. We had a really great time at the zoo. I am looking forward to seeing the Stingrays next time we go back!
