ST. LOUIS — The expected on and off rain on Friday night is causing some problems for people who planned for outdoor events.

The St. Louis Zoo posted on thier Facebook page, saying it's to "help ensure guest, staff and animal safety."
The zoo apologized for any inconvenience it caused but ensures to give the money back in a timely manner. "If you have purchased tickets for [Friday night's] event, you will receive a full refund on the debit or credit card used to purchase," the post reads.
Anyone wishing to go another night instead can do so, however, the zoo says they are not able to exchange tickets at this time.
