Hattiesburg Zoo, Zoo in Hattiesburg, Mississippi

Hattiesburg Zoo is a 12-acre zoo inside Kamper Park, among groves of oak and pine trees, operated by the Hattiesburg Convention Commission. Its exhibits are grouped into geographic sections, including an Africa area with Grant's zebras, bongos, ostriches and East African crowned cranes, and the barrier-free Wallaby Walkabout opened in 2018. The 2,200-square-foot Asbury Discovery Center, opened in 2014, houses reptiles, a Galapagos tortoise, sloths and other ambassador animals.

John Kamper gave 40 acres to the Daughters of the Confederacy in 1902; the land passed to Hattiesburg in 1908 for a public park. The zoo opened around 1950 on about 12 acres of that park. In 2025 it marked its 75th anniversary with a year-long celebration.

The zoo's Asbury Discovery Center, a 2,200-square-foot building opened in 2014, combines a laboratory, classroom and office space and houses reptiles, a Galapagos tortoise, a family of sloths and a prehensile-tailed porcupine. It also keeps ambassador animals used in educational programming for children and adults.

The zoo occupies about 12 acres inside Kamper Park, under a grove of oaks and pines, and is divided into geographical sections; the Africa area lies at the northern end. The 2018 Wallaby Walkabout is a barrier-free route where visitors walk among Bennett's wallabies, emus and kunekune pigs. The Asbury Discovery Center, opened in 2014, houses the reptiles and other ambassador animals.

The zoo opened a barrier-free walk-through in 2018 where visitors share the path with Bennett's wallabies, emus and kunekune pigs, with no fence between them and the animals. The zoo also holds accreditation from both the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and the Zoological Association of America.
