The five members of the Metropolitan Zoological Park and Museum District (ZMD) —the Missouri Botanical Garden, Missouri History Museum, Saint Louis Art Museum, Saint Louis Science Center and Saint Louis Zoo—have teamed up with Drury Inn & Suites Forest Park to offer local residents the chance to win a Family Staycation package. Announced today, the promotion will give two lucky families a summer vacation to enjoy without even leaving St. Louis !
The knowledge that the economic climate was a concern for many families led ZMD institution representatives to create the Staycation giveaway, now in its second year.

* Two free night certificates courtesy of Drury Inn & Suites Forest Park
* Four passes for general admission and four passes to the Children’s Garden courtesy of the Missouri Botanical Garden
