How Online Registration Works
Zoo Friends and the general public can register online for any of our programs for individuals and families. Please note that availability for programs listed on our website are subject to change and some program sessions may be sold out. Once you have logged on, any program not shown as "sold out" will have at least one opening. To be placed on a waiting list for a sold out program session, please call the education department at (314) 646-4544.
Please register either online or by mail. Processing fees will apply for canceling duplicate registrations.
Participants may register for only one session of each program title, and must be the appropriate grade level and age to attend the program chosen.
Registrations will be accepted until two weeks before the date of the program session. You will not be able to register online for a program less than two weeks away.
Who's Eligible
Online registration is available to Zoo Friends and the General Public. With a current Zoo Friends Membership, you are entitled to discounted prices for Education Programs. You may register immediate family members living in your household. Any nieces, nephews, visiting cousins, friends, out of town guests, etc. are not eligible for online registration using your membership information.
Grandparents may register their grandchildren if their Zoo Friends Membership is at the Grandparent/Family level or above. NOTE: A grandparent's signature will not be accepted for the Terms and Conditions. Terms and Conditions must be signed by the participant's parent or legal guardian.
If you are interested in becoming a Zoo Friends Member or upgrading your membership, please visit Membership.
If you do not have a Zoo Friends Membership, please only register yourself or those in your household. Friends or extended family should be registered on a separate order.
What you Need to Register Online
Before you begin the online registration process, please make sure you have reviewed the complete list of Programs for Individuals & Families and selected the program(s) for you and your family. When you are ready to register, proceed to the bottom of this page and select the appropriate link for either Zoo Friends or the General Public.
If you have never used the online registration process, the first thing you will do is create a logon account. If you are a Zoo Friends member, you will need information from your Zoo Friends Membership card to create the account. If you do not have a membership, please create the account using the head of household's information.
If you have already used the online registration process, you will be able to use the same email address and password to logon. You will not have to recreate your logon account.
If you forget your password, you can request that your password be emailed to the logon email address. The education department will not be able to give your password over the phone.
After you log in, you will enter information about one participant and then select the programs for this participant.
For the Zoo Career-For-A-Day (Keeper-For-A-Day) and Homeschool Programs, you will need to have the following information to register online:
- Two Emergency Contact Names and Phone Numbers
- Family Physician Name, Address and Phone Numbers
- Insurance Carrier and Policy Number(s)

- Edit the programs you have selected for the participant(s)
- Add another participant and select programs for them
- For Young Children programs, enter information for the free adult and select the program session they are attending
- Enter payment, agree to the Terms and Conditions and receive your confirmation
We accept payment by Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express.
Order Confirmation
The space(s) in the program(s) you have selected is not confirmed until you checkout and receive your electronic confirmation. Please print the confirmation page for your records and close the window. This confirmation will also be automatically emailed to the email address entered at logon.
NOTE: If you are registering for programs in more than one category, you will receive a separate confirmation for each order.
Terms and Conditions
A Terms and Conditions form will be part of your electronic confirmation. To finalize your registration, an original signed form for each participant/order must be mailed to the Education Department within 48 hours of receipt of your confirmation. Each participant 18 and older must sign their own form. For participants under 18, a parent or legal guardian must sign for their child. Fax or email forms will NOT be accepted. Failure to return this form will result in cancellation of this order without any refund.
By choosing to use our online registration process, you are helping to conserve paper and other resources. Your email confirmation will be the only notice you receive for your program. You will not receive one in the mail.
Cancellations and Transfers
To make a change to an existing registration order, please notify the education department as soon as possible at (314) 646-4544 or onlineregistration@stlzoo.org. An $8 processing fee per person per program will apply to any cancellation or transfer request made at least two weeks before the program start date. When possible we allow a program participant to transfer to another session of the same program or to a different program as long as there are openings and the participant is the appropriate grade level or age. We cannot accommodate a transfer or provide a refund for requests less than two weeks before the program start date.
Completed Orders
After you have completed an order and received your confirmation, you will not be able to re-open that order and make changes online. If you need to add family members to other programs you can create another registration order online. You will be able to logon using your email address and password, but you will need to re-enter the personal information for the participant you are registering. The system will not present you with this information.
