For students entering 2nd-8th grade.

Join a Children's Zoo Keeper for a day of fun and hard work.

You will join the keepers for staff meeting, break time and lunch. Please wear a t-shirt, khaki or jean shorts and old shoes - you will get dirty! Bring a bottle of water and a camera if you like. A Saint Louis Zoo nametag, snack and lunch will be provided.
