Dickerson Park Zoo is home to hundreds of animals from around the world, representing habitats in Africa, Tropical Asia, South America, Australia and our own Missouri habitats. Exhibits cover 55 acres. Our guests favorites include Asian elephants, tigers, giraffes and river otters. You can stand eye-to-eye with giraffes on an elevated feeding/viewing deck and purchase crackers to feed these magnificent animals. The Diversity of Life exhibits showcase animals from around the world that share common types of habitats.
