After-hours tours are a great addition to any Zoo Event Rental. Why not let your guests enjoy the animals in an up-close and exclusive setting? We can even set up a bar for a unique cocktail hour at one of our award winning exhibits! These tours are only available after the Zoo closes and with an Event Rental.

Caiman Experience

Give your group an exclusive and intimate look into one of the Saint Louis Zoo's oldest exhibits. This tour starts with a keeper chat on the history of the Charles H. Hoessle Herpetarium and its inhabitants. You'll have a front row view as keepers feed several caimans, which are nocturnal crocodilians. Plus, you'll have a chance to meet other reptiles up close and personal.

Jungle Evenings

Your group or corporate event can enjoy an exclusive after-hours visit to the Jungle of the Apes where gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans will enthrall you with their antics. Zookeepers will be available to tell you personal stories and family histories of the apes. Available in the colder months only.

Penguins & Puffins

Come chill out with the feathered friends of Penguin & Puffin Coast! A zookeeper chat will fill you in on differences between the penguins and puffins while you watch them dive through the frigid waters.

Tours are $25 per person + event rental.
