First look at WildCare Park in Spanish Lake

In July, the Saint Louis Zoo released renderings that gave the community its first look at the new WildCare Park in Spanish Lake. The $230 million expansion of the Zoo will be a more than 400-acre conservation and tourism attraction in North County. The features coming to this North County Zoo campus will connect people and animals in a way that has never been done before while enhancing the Zoo’s mission to sustain endangered and threatened species.

"At WildCare Park, guests will be immersed in nature and animal pastures, providing unique experiences with every visit," said

The County’s Planning Department reviewed the Site Development Plan for WildCare Park. The park is slated to open to the public in 2027, with animals arriving in 2023 for pilot pasture.
