| About the Content Provider |
The Saint Louis Zoo was voted #1 Zoo in America by a Zagat's and Parents' Magazine survey. Our mission is to conserve animals and their habitats through animal management, research, recreation, and educational programs that encourage the support and enrich the experience of the public. Our videoconferencing classes will take you and your students on virtual tours of our most popular exhibits and then teach your students about animal habitats and adaptations. Older students will also learn about our conservation programs going on here at the Zoo and around the world. Live animals from our Emerson Children's Zoo will visit our studio during the programs. At this time, we do not have the ability to broadcast remotely from Zoo exhibits. |

| Here's what others are saying about our programs |
About Zoo Clues: "I enjoy and learn something every time we make a connection with St. Louis Zoo." "This program was the best we have had this year." About Penguin and Puffin Coast "Great program! I would highly recommend it." "The program included photos, live action, real animals and a competent presenter. It was the most fun we have had all year with our elementary students. That is all you can ask for a presentation!" |
