Dickerson Park Zoo

"What a wonderful little zoo. My wife and I found this place as we were waiting for our commercial truck to be repaired. We went on Wends 9-10-25, and it felt like we had the whole zoo to ourselves. Took about 3 hours to walk the whole park, and we maybe saw 2 other groups of people. While people weren’t seen as much, the animals were all out for viewing. Minus the bear enclosure that was being reworked, every exhibit was open/looked well maintained. Would highly recommend and at only $19 won’t break the bank. Walked in with drinks and food, no one seemed to care. So can probably save some money packing drinks/snacks."

"Loved this Zoo...much larger than I expected. I got in over 4000 steps seeing so many different animals. My wife loved feeding the giraffe. Zoo wasn't busy (November 22, 2025). Weather was a little cool...comfortable with a light jacket."

"Had a great day, right after Christmas day, Friday the 26th. Had more people than expected. It went well all day. No hassles, no problems. Beautiful day too. We brought a picnic and had a wonderful time. Only disappointed the train wasn't up and running. We had 4 children who had never rode it before so that was a bummer. It was told it would be open the next day. We will try again next time. It was still a really nice time."

"It was too hot for the poor Animals to be outside and to say hi! We saw a few and enjoyed that. Loved the fact that they had restrooms through out the park and food and drink! Loved the gift shop! Big fan of the penny press souvenir machines so I managed to grab a couple. Staff was good. Well maintained area! Fun for the whole family. Bought the tickets online."

"This is a very good small market zoo. The variety of animals here is impressive. The zoo could use some maintenance, refurbishment and updates. It's worth visiting if you are in the area and definitely worth getting a membership if you live in the area."
