Dickerson Park Zoo--Springfield's most exotic 1.2 mile walk-- is where animals and people connect. It’s an adventure of discovery where friends, families and students of all ages can get outdoors and explore the beauty of the Ozarks while seeing and learning about animals around the world. Guests may also enjoy keeper and special events (seasonal).
- The giraffe feeding deck and petting zoo provide up close encounters, and help with the zoo’s efforts to educate the public and protect animals worldwide.
- Take a ride on the Titus Express train, take a break at the Bush Country Café and pick up a souvenir of your visit at the Safari Trading Company gift shop.
- Wildlife Zooniversity offers conservation camps and classes for kids of all ages—including adult classes!
