Turtles all the way down

Just one of the coolest little spots with the pub right behind it and the zoo across the street. What’s not to love. Plus their turtles

Amazing turtle sculptures! Great for climbing and sitting - and across the street from the St Louis Zoo. Designed by American sculptor Bob Cassilly, the park was opened in 1966.

Not a big park, but cute.

Cute little park. The sculptures are fun, but I didn't understand the baby turtle eggs and the snake. Could use a bit more landscaping but overall nice for a few pictures.
