After 50 years, Children's Zoo at St. Louis Zoo will close for good this fall
The Children’s Zoo, a St. Louis Zoo mainstay for more than 50 years, will close.
The attraction, formally named the Emerson Children’s Zoo, will remain open with free admission through the end of October, the zoo announced Thursday.
In spring, a dinosaur exhibit will open in its place and will stay there for a couple years as the zoo figures out what to do next with the area, which occupies 3½ acres on the north side of the zoo. It will include something suitable for families and children.
The Children’s Zoo opened in 1969, celebrating its 50th anniversary last year.

Sad to see this feature close, but happily the Zoo itself will remain open to the public and free of charge as it always has.
