Future Renovations
A penguin exhibit is expected to open in August 2013, funded by an ongoing series of fundraising events as well as a sales taxes collected from the 4 county Zoological District.
Other proposed additions to the zoo include an aquarium; a new predator hill exhibit (where the former primate house is); a South America area behind the tropics building; and a Missouri Trails exhibit (which will include bears, prairie dogs, and more wildlife native to Missouri).

Famous quotes containing the word future:
“It is marvelous indeed to watch on television the rings of Saturn close; and to speculate on what we may yet find at galaxy’s edge. But in the process, we have lost the human element; not to mention the high hope of those quaint days when flight would create “one world.” Instead of one world, we have “star wars,” and a future in which dumb dented human toys will drift mindlessly about the cosmos long after our small planet’s dead.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
