LPZ Vs. St. Louis Zoo
STLZ vs LPZ by: Laura B. (St. Louis Zoo and Lincoln Park Zoo)
I know, I know. Everyone wants to go to some expensive zoo that doesn’t do anything but rob them. Well, then let’s try a zoo that’s free but is rated five star. Because although many people think that zoos are all the same, St Louis zoo and Lincoln Park zoo are very different.
Well first let’s compare prices. I can tell you this much. LPZ is free! STLZ is also free but you need to pay for some attractions. I mean isn’t that way better than some zoo that you have to pay for? Then let’s look at hours. The St. Louis zoo is open from nine to five while the lincoln park zoo is open from ten to four thirty.
The distance from STLZ to Eureka is about 184 miles. Which is about 4 hours and 5 minutes in the car.(This includes two thirty minutes potty breaks!!!!) The distance from LPZ to Eureka is about 141 miles. That is about 3 hours and 21 minutes in the car.(This also includes two potty breaks at thirty minutes each)
Now the two most important things. Animals and food. Food first. STLZ has 16 restaurants. These include some yummies like hot dogs, bacon hamburgers, pizza, chicken nachos and Dippin’ Dots. LPZ has only 6 restaurants to choose from but they have just as big …show more content…
LPZ has a huge variety of animals. For the sake of time, paper and my poor hands, I will just list some of the newest arrivals at the zoo both imported and born. These animals include 2 Baer’s Pochards, a rare species of duck, which breeds in eastern Russia, northeastern China, and also Mongolia (see website for more), 2 young Puerto Rican parrots(the most endangered species of bird in the world), and a baby Bactrian camel. STLZ has 5 “regions” for animals. These “regions” are River’s Edge, The Wild, Discovery Corner, Historic Hill and Red Rocks. Some new animals are 2 baby giraffes and new to Grizzly Ridge are 2 baby grizzly
