ZOOmagination Station
We’ve been finding a lot of great (free!) things to do with Esme lately. One recent discovery was ZOOmagination Station at the St. Louis Zoo. They describe it this way: “The Zoo’s new discovery room experience invites young children and their caregivers to create, explore, investigate, and imagine while discovering the animal world together.” Essentially, it’s a big play room with lots of fun and educational toys. It’s open every day year round, and did we mention it’s free? You have to get tickets for a 45-minute session, though when we went on Sunday we had no problem getting into the session which started a few minutes after we arrived.
Esme is a bit too young to appreciate the “educational” part of it, though the “fun” part certainly appealed to her, as you can see in the pictures below.
As an aside, I (Jeff) am writing this from a plane right now, somewhere between Boston and Milwaukee. I’ve taken a number of flights recently where wifi is available, and it’s truly a remarkable experience to be connected at such a speed and height. It will be interesting to read this post years from now, since I’m assuming that in-flight internet access will be as common in 2029 as running water is in 2009.
