"Black Friday" is just two days away now, and Dickerson Park Zoo offers a great alternative to the hustle and bustle of traditional holiday shopping. The annual sale at the Safari Trading Company gift shop kicks off on Friday, Nov. 23, and continues through Dec. 24. The general public will receive a 10 percent discount off gift shop merchandise, and our Friends of the Zoo members receive an additional 10 percent off (total of 20 percent).
The Safari Trading Company gift shop offers a wide variety of wildlife items -- apparel for tots, children and adults; home decor; toys and plush animals; books and puzzles. ZOOKEYS for the audio boxes throughout the zoo make great stocking stuffers.
And, don't miss out on the 2008 Zoo Calendar, a beautiful full-color calendar featuring photographs from throughout the park!
For gifts that give all year -- consider a Friends of the Zoo membership for a family, grandparents and their grandchildren or an adult plus a guest; or ADOPT an animal for the wildlife lover on your list. Call 417-833-1570 to order by phone or visit us in person!
