Saint Louis Zoo to reopen for normal hours after storm damage cleanup

The Saint Louis Zoo will reopen for regular hours starting Monday, May 19 after several days of storm cleanup.

SAINT LOUIS (May 18, 2025) — The Saint Louis Zoo will reopen for regular hours starting Monday, May 19 after several days of storm damage cleanup.

Some attractions and habitats, including the Emerson Zooline Railroad and River’s Edge area of the Zoo will be closed Monday, but should reopen later this week. The Mary Ann Lee Butterfly Wing will be closed as we work to repair several of the dome’s panels damaged by the storm.

Despite extensive tree damage, the Zoo was able to reopen so quickly thanks to the incredible work of Zoo staff on cleanup efforts and repairs after the storm. Our thoughts are with everyone in our community who lost loved ones or are working to rebuild and recover. We’ve been moved to see the true resilience and kindness of our neighbors in the wake of the storm.

Make Tracks Through the Zoo scheduled for May 18 was canceled. Participants can find out more information at stlzoo.org/MakeTracks.
