We all have family traditions, no matter where in the world we grow up. One of those traditions, arguably, for many Missourians is a trip to Dickerson Park Zoo. The cozy zoo promises everything you need for a fun day out with the family – animals with huge personalities, a playground for the kiddos, good food, and even a train ride.
Missourians have been visiting Dickerson Park Zoo, a destination that's perfect for adults and kiddos of all ages, since 1923.
If you're yearning for a close-up encounter with your favorite animal, sign up for an Animal RendeZoo (currently on a hiatus). You and three of your closest friends can visit the river otters, giraffes, or zebras, for example.
Don't worry if you need a break, but the kids are still oozing energy. Grab a bite to eat at the cafe, or sit and relax as they play on the playground.
