Tower Grove Park transforms into Pokémon GO Safari Zone

UPDATE: Niantic has made the difficult decision to postpone the Pokémon GO Safari Zone on March 27–29 after closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation. They are looking into alternate dates within the next 12 months and will provide an update as soon as possible. Read more at nianticlabs.com/blog/liveevents-update-20200306.


Tower Grove Park will be a Pokémon GO Safari Zone March 27–29. St. Louis was chosen among cities across the globe—including Liverpool, Philadelphia and Taichung, Taiwan—and we can't wait to see players come together to play games, explore the park, and share experiences.

Trainers can look forward to encountering Mankey, Unown S, Teddiursa, Snivy, and Ferroseed throughout the park. Trainers from the northern hemisphere can sing for joy: Chatot, which usually appears only in the southern hemisphere, will also be appearing in Tower Grove Park!

Increased Pokémon Encounters

Catch a wide variety of Pokémon, including some that have never been seen before in this region. This is a great chance to fill in some gaps in your Pokédex.

Team Lounges

Cool off and recharge in one of the two mixed team lounges, where you'll meet your fellow Instinct, Mystic, or Valor teammates.

GO Snapshot Photo Ops

Commemorate the experience by snapping photos with your favorite Pokémon at the many awesome photo opportunities around the park.

Special PokéStops

Walk around the beautiful park and spin PokéStops within the event space to receive special 2 km Eggs and unique Field Research.
