Santa Claus takes reservations in St. Louis — at the zoo. The Saint Louis Zoo’s beloved Dine with Santa events return this December, pairing a kid-pleasing meal with the guest of honor himself, photo opportunities included, inside the zoo’s festive halls.
The magic for families is the pairing: depending on the seating, dinner guests head out into U.S. Bank Wild Lights before or after their meal, turning one reservation into a full evening of lights, animals and Claus. Seating is limited and pre-paid reservations are required — the events are a fast sellout every year, with member and non-member pricing (and little ones under 2 free).
Book early, bring the wish list, and let someone else do the dishes.
Dine with Santa takes place at the Saint Louis Zoo in Forest Park on select December dates. Reservations at stlzoo.org.
