I’ve travelled to a lot of zoos. But By far, the St. Louis Zoo in St. Louis, MO is the best. After checking into my hotel, I walked to the zoo, about 1.4 miles. Along the way I stopped at the Turtle Playground in Forest Park. The playground has giant sculptures of turtles; Turtles you can climb, turtles you can crawl into and turtles everywhere for photo opportunities like this one.

There are lots of reasons why the St. Louis Zoo is so wonderful.
