Cypress Swamp - Interior

  • Media owner geomorph
  • Date added
This is located in the Historic Hill zone, the oldest part of the zoo which is laid out formally with restored historic Mediterranean Revival style exhibit buildings lining a central sloped green space. The Cypress Swamp is housed in the restored 1904 World’s Fair Flight Cage which was built by the Smithsonian and purchased by the city for permanent display after the event, thus starting the zoo!

Not as overwhelmingly large as I had previously read about and imagined it would be, before visiting the Saint Louis Zoo in October 2008. Also appeared almost virtually empty of bird life.
