Dickerson Park Zoo is a smaller zoo, but that doesn't make it any less interesting than others. It has a nice variety of zoo animals from around the world and even has exhibits of animals often found right in the state of Missouri. Nice place for a leisurely walk through both shaded and open areas where you can see the animals up close. The only downside to our visit was that the elephants weren't out, but it was still an enjoyable visit.

This is a nice zoo but it isn't great. It is kind of on the small side but the staff are incredibly nice and accommodating. My wife really loved feeding the giraffes. Especially the baby. We have been there twice and it was fun.

This is a very nice “smaller” zoo with a good selection of animals. We went because my son is a huge cheetah fan. One of the cheetahs was active so that made his day. There is a nice kids’ park next to the snack shop. I think we were there for about two hours total.
