Celebrate summer at your favorite zoo! The End-of-Summer Celebration at the Saint Louis Zoo features extended evening hours, food and drink specials throughout the Zoo, and several educational activity stations around the Zoo.

 

See the Zoo's California sea lions perform acrobatic and athletic feats, including Olympic-style dives on a high-diving platform, flipper walks, frisbee tosses and plenty of surprises. While on stage with the sea lions, the Zoo's trainers explain sea lion behavior and positive-reinforcement training, in addition to the need for conserving the sea lion's ocean habitat.
