FAMILY FUN

Just consider the classics. The Gateway Arch’s museum and tram ride are open once again, with masks required for guests age 2 or older. Although some exhibits are temporarily closed at City Museum to help ensure social distancing, there’s still plenty to explore, including most of MonstroCity. Six Flags is following safety guidelines and requiring temperature checks. And with 42 gondolas that permit social distancing, the St. Louis Wheel still allows guests to see the city from 200 feet up year-round. And that’s just hitting a few high notes.

WILDLIFE & OUTDOORS

ST. LOUIS’ WILDLIFE EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS ARE UNIQUELY POSITIONED TO OFFER MOSTLY OUTDOOR NATUREBASED ENRICHMENT.

SAINT LOUIS ZOO

Know Before You Go: The zoo’s many outdoor exhibits make it easily adaptable to social distancing restrictions. Reservations are required and available starting a week before the visit day. Reservations can be made at stlzoo.org until 3:30 p.m. on the day of the visit.

What’s New: Legions of Jurassic Park–loving children (and adults) are eagerly awaiting the Dinosaurs exhibit, opening April 18, National Velociraptor Day. Situated in the footprint of the former Children’s Zoo, the exhibit offers visitors the chance to stroll among animatronic creatures and learn about such topics as extinction and dinosaurs’ feathered descendants.

The zoo is operating cashless to help limit the spread of COVID-19. If you forget to bring a card, you can purchase a gift card at the north and south
