The St. Louis Zoo has released its plans for a new experience for children and families on site of the current Emerson Dinoroarus, formerly Emerson Children’s Zoo.
“Thanks to an incredibly generous $15 million lead gift from the Henry A. Jubel Foundation, we are able to carry forward the goal of the previous Children’s Zoo by providing dynamic experiences for children and families that will inspire a love of animals and learning, but in new and innovative ways,” said the Zoo’s Dana Brown President and CEO Dwight Scott. “Destination Discovery will have animal adventures at every turn. You will be able to explore and play side by side with animals, building connections to the natural world.”
This is the third evolution of the Children’s Zoo, which dates to 1969 when it was first introduced as the Charles H. Yalem Children’s Zoo.
