Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden

Daughters first time there, and she loved it. Haven't been in years and a lot has changed and been added. Staff was friendly and the zoo was surprisingly clean with as many people that were there. You have to get there early for a good parking spot though, otherwise you are parking across the street at the casino or if you're lucky, next door at the science museum. Military discount is great!

The zoo has made many changes since I was last there, 13 years ago. I decided to take my 19 year old son with me. We had a blast! Unfortunately we did not get to see all the animals because it was hot and they go inside, but that is expected. Either way, it was worth it! We took many photos and videos. Even stopped to ride the carousel. Just remember to be courteous to the animals and don't let little ones bang on their glass, it stresses them out more. Don't forgot to stop in the little shop they have by the night exhibit, it's quant and has many goodies inside I'd recommend going that direction last, or else you'll be carrying everything throughout the day.

My kiddos and I came during the week the OKC Zoo was having free admission. It wasn't very crowded at all since a lot of schools started this week. What I was really impressed with was the amount of restroom stops they provided as well as cooling stations. I was so glad to see a lot of staff around as well, and they were all so nice. It was a pretty awesome visit despite how hot it was!

Place is under construction in a lot of spots, but it says that on the website so you should know ahead of time. Love the giant pride flags they have out during pride month, makes me feel very validated! The animals are very interesting and well taken care of. I've been going here every few years since I was a toddler and will be coming here more in the future. <3

We go to the zoo every year and there's always something to see. It's so amazing and fun. We are gonna buy the seasonal pass and take our newborn more, we are so excited!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$6–10

We had a blast! We really enjoyed how the animals were active for the most part, and how each area was so accurate to the regions that each animal was from. I wish we knew that the feeding zoo cost to enter so we could've been better prepared... Other than that we had a great time and all of the zoo employees were very friendly helpful and professional! Will be going back after the African exhibit is done!

I love our zoo! I can't wait for the new exhibits to be done should be soon! We are moving up in the world. This is a great place for kids with multiple playgrounds, rest areas, and a waterfall with stream the kids can play in!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure

Zoo experience was great. Every animals, and birds have enough space for themselves. They were properly labeled with their features or characteristics which is enough to distinguish them. There are separate sections for snakes, water creatures, asian animals, cats lion and many more. Special section is bear, they are real entertainers. New wing is currently under construction which will involve new animals or scenery to the zoo beauty. It has train service $9-10/ person, if anyone wants to use. Food and water outlets inside as well. Kids live to spend time with their families. It will take minimum 5 hours to maximum 7 hours to see and enjoy whole zoo.

Make sure you have a map! It's easy to get turned around. Other than that, it was wonderful, Google Maps said it was as busy as it gets went on a Monday, and it wasn't crowded at all. Had most of the exhibits to ourselves. From the zoos I've been to, there were an unusual amount of different snakes. I'm not complaining, though! Animals are well taken care of, and exhibits are kept clean. Make sure you wear good walking shoes too, but there are a lot of benches to pull over and take a breather.

This zoo was larger and better than I'd imagined. We were visiting from out of town and the zoo was impressive. The diversity of animals was amazing and the zoo is very well laid out, designed and maintained. A whole new Africa section is being developed. Top class zoo.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$11–15
