Beginning at 9:00 a.m. on Monday, March 2, online registration will be available for Zoo Friends members and the general public.
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.
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 to attend the program chosen.
Who's Eligible
As a current Zoo Friends Member, 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: The signature of a parent or legal guardian is required for the Terms and Conditions (see Order Confirmation below).
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, you can register members of your household for programs at the general public price.
What you Need to Register Online
Before you begin the online registration process, please review the complete list of Programs for Individuals & Families for you and your family. When you are ready to register, proceed to the bottom of this page and select the appropriate program category to begin. A separate order will need to be processed for each program category.
If you have never used the online registration process, the first thing you will do is create a logon account. Zoo Friends members will need information from your Zoo Friends Membership card to create the account.
If you have 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 have renewed your membership information since you last used online registration, please "Edit Your Account" during logon to update your membership information.
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 Zoo Career-For-A-Day (Keeper-For-A-Day, Sea Lion Trainer-For-A-Day, and A Day with Rays), Youth, and Camp KangaZoo 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 Number
- Insurance Carrier and Policy Number(s)
When using online registration for Camp Joey, Camp KangaZoo, or Teen Camp, you will have the option to list your child's Camp Buddy during registration. Your child can choose to be in the same camper group with one buddy of the same age or one year apart. When the buddy registers, they will also need to list your child as their buddy.
For Young Children Programs, please remember to register the free accompanying adult, otherwise your registration is incomplete.

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. A processing fee per person per program will apply to any cancellation or transfer request made at least two weeks (four weeks for Camp) before the program start date. Please view the Summer Registration Information & Forms page for a list of applicable fees. When possible, we will 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 reopen 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.
