The Penguin and Puffin Coast of the St. Louis Zoo is a recent addition to this wonderful park. It consists of the Dennis & Judy Jones Family Humboldt Haven (featuring the Humboldt penguins), the Lichtenstein Penguin Cove, and the Taylor Family Puffin Bay. There's much more to arctic bird life than people are generally aware of and this exhibit portrays it all. The various species of penguin and puffin living here swim and splash around to the delight of their human fans. Be prepared for the cold, however. The aquarium-like home is kept at a constant temperature of 45-50 degrees to simulate an arctic atmosphere. This can be a shock to the system, especially during the warmer months.

The Bird Garden, located in the St. Louis Zoo, is an attraction that keeps visitors on their toes. This open air garden is designed to attract various species of birds. People never quite know what to expect, but during the warmer months, the fragrant flowers and bushes bring all kinds of feathered friends. The birds don't seem to mind the passers by, so don't be surprised if a hummingbird perches on the adjacent tree to human-watch.
