About the Museum
Beginning its journey in the late 1800s, The Zoo in Forest Park & Education Center continues to be an integral part of our region's diverse cultural and educational environment. Today, The Zoo is a non-profit organization governed by the Forest Park Zoological Society. Situated in Forest Park, The Zoo is home to over 225 native and non-native animal residents representing a large variety of species.
The Zoo is proud to work with wildlife rehabilitators across the United States to provide care to animals that have been deemed non-releasable to the wild due to injury, illness, permanent disability, habituation to humans or other factors.
The Zoo offers a variety of educational programming for children and adults of all age groups and interests, including our award-winning Kids Go Wild, Wildlife on Wheels, Zoo Camp, Guided Tours and Discovery Programs. Through these programs and our static exhibits, The Zoo allows guests to explore multiple aspects of science while having fun.
