Zoomagination Station

Today we discovered another St Louis gem. The zoo has opened a new exhibit called "Zoomagination Station". There are tons of activities for children up to age 9 - puppets, listening center with animal sounds, water tables, books, dressup....you name it. It's the perfect indoor activity, and I have no idea why it isn't solidly booked every day. We were the only people there today (when it was raining out) for the 12:00 session. (you enter on the hour for 45 minute sessions). With the zoo employee, there was a 1:1 adult to child ratio. Can't get better than that!

Charlotte was a fan of opening and closing the door to the playhouse
Charlotte just liked playing with the animals, but older children could create habitats with cool trees, rocks, wood, water features etc.

Nicholas learning about ocean creatures with the zoo lady. His favorites were the whales.

Charlotte had her own water table at the perfect height!

This really is one of the coolest things we've done...and it's free! I'm picturing many winter days being spent at Zoomagination Station!
