===Discovery Corner=== '''Discovery Corner''' is home to the [[Bayer Insectarium]], where most of the zoo's [[invertebrate]]s are found. Represented species include [[leafcutter ant]], [[flower mantis]], [[Vietnamese walking stick]], [[Atlas beetle]], [[American burying beetle]], [[sunburst diving beetle]], [[water scorpion]], [[brown widow]] spider, [[brown recluse spider]], [[yellow garden spider]]s, ''[[Platymeris biguttatus]]'', [[cobalt blue tarantula]], [[Texas brown tarantula]], and Egyptian [[fattail scorpion]]. Until 2021, Discovery Corner also included the Emerson Children's Zoo, which had many educational features, such as the see-through slide through the otter pool and many birds, snakes, frogs, and other animals that volunteers and staff bring out for the kids to see up close.<ref name="stlouis.about.com">{{cite web |url=http://www.stlouis.about.com/od/topattractions/tp/stlouis_zoo.htm |title=Visiting the St. Louis Zoo |publisher=About.com |access-date=16 November 2013|archive-date=2017-04-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170405062848/http://www.stlouis.about.com/od/topattractions/tp/stlouis_zoo.htm |url-status=dead}}</ref> Beginning in March 2016, the zoo also had [[Tasmanian devils]] in this section. The Children's Zoo closed in 2021 and was temporarily replaced with Dinoroarus, a walking path featuring several animatronic dinosaurs, a gift shop, and a small aquarium. Dinoroarus closed in early 2024 to make way for the Children's Zoo's permanent successor, the Henry A. Jubel Foundation Destination Discovery. Construction began by October 2024, slated for a 2026 opening date.
