Description:
The stingrays are back in town, and they've brought along some "crabby" friends this year -- horseshoe crabs! Stingrays at Caribbean Cove presented by UMB Bank will be open April 24 through September 26, 2010. Watch these unique animals as they glide through a warm saltwater pool, dip your hands in to allow the gentle stingrays and horseshoe crabs to touch you, and at various times each day, take an opportunity to feed them.

Located under a pavilion near Lakeside Cafe, the cownose rays, southern stingrays and horseshoe crabs swim through a 17,000-gallon pool within a tropical setting. These are hardy species that interact well with people in a safe and fun manner.  Along for the swim this year are horseshoe crabs, which are more closely related to spiders and scorpions than to true crabs. Zoo interpreters and educators will be on hand to help visitors and to share information about the animals, sustainable seafood and ocean conservation.

Admission to Stingrays at Caribbean Cove is $3 for the general public and $1.50 for Zoo Friends members. Children under two are free. Admission is free the first hour the Zoo is open. Stingray feedings are $1.00 per cup. Groups of 15 or more may call (314) 781-0900, ext. 4709 in advance for group discounts.

Stingrays at Caribbean Cove will be open April 24 through September 26, 2010, during Zoo hours. The Zoo's spring hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. through May 27, 2010. Beginning May 28 through September 6, 2010, the Zoo is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday through Sunday for North Star Summer Zoo Weekends
