It was my first time visiting Tulsa Zoo & I would definitely recommend it. We visited on a Sunday and arrived about 11 am. The wait time to purchase tickets at the gate was a bit long. We purchased the majority our tickets online, but we needed to purchase 4 more at the gate. Our wait time to purchase tickets at the gate was about 15-20 minutes. The line for members & online tickets moves much faster! We enjoyed all the exhibits & park...especially the Dinosaur Exhibit! The Dinosaur Exhibit is a temporary exhibit through the end of summer 2022. There is an additional cost to enter. My only reason for 4 star review is restroom cleanliness. I'm happy they take such good care of the animals, exhibits, habitats and grounds but the restrooms need more frequent cleaning. Overall...great zoo to visit!
My family loves the Tulsa zoo! We have the annual membership and it is well worth the price. We go monthly and most time every other week. It’s become our favorite family tradition! My daughter loves seeing the moneys and goats. The updated playground can keep her entertained for hours, if we let her stay that long. The staff is always so nice and welcoming to us and every guest. The animals seem very content, happy, and well taken care of. I recommend the Tulsa Zoo to everyone who visit Tulsa and to anyone in the area with children the membership is worth it!
Nice large Zoo with a ton of exhibits. Cute little train does a loop around, and can catch it halfway if your're tired and need a lift back to the front. It drops you off right by the carousel. Plenty of cool indoor exhibits as well. Also a petting "children's zoo" and playground for the kiddos. Overall a nice place to spend a few hours.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$11–15
Quiet a nice zoo. Been to many across the U.S. and this is a favorite. Our visit was over Thanksgiving week so the zoo had already switched over to it's winter displaying of animals. Some were inside and not able to be seen outside but it didn't effect the experience. This zoo is laid out extremely well. The course you follow wound through so many interesting sights that it didn't seem long or tiring, even for an old man like me. My two grandsons, ages 8 and 3, had a blast. There is a very good and fairly large playground near the middle of the journey so adults can sit and rest while the kidos burn off energy. Great idea. Price was right. Not too crowded. Weather was great, especially for late November, and I was with some people I dearly love. Very great experience.
I thoroughly enjoyed myself. You can tell they take amazing care of their animals. I do however, wish that the tigers and lions were more lively. Over all though, enjoyed the experience. Also, if needing a wheelchair, I'd highly recommend getting tickets and reserving an electric wheelchair in advance.Visited onWeekdayWait timeUp to 10 minReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$11–15
Cleanest zoo I've seen yet I think. My daughter loved it. They have a really big playground area for them to play and the exhibits are actually out and about. They have nice statues for u to take pics of the kids tooVisited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$11–15
Very unique zoo with great habitat layouts and many indoor enclosers! Felt bad for the snow leopards during the hot Oklahoma heat see picture. Went to the first Zoo Nights on the Rocks and while a great idea, the event was not prepared for the number of people registered. If you are thinking of going, skip the drinks and enjoy all the zoo habitats. Lines were around an hour long to get a drink so we opted to get all four of our drink tickets at one station due to time. : Go early so you do not miss the zoo keepers, animals or events as they close early due to sunlight. It was neat seeing the dinosaur exhibit too! The Zoo has said they are making changes to make the next events better and more prepared which is great! Playground is amazing and reminds me of The Gathering Place! Fun for the whole family!
Extremely clean and well maintained! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, lots of shade and trees to get out of the heat, it was 100+ when we visited! Not crowded. Food and drink is very pricey but for a good cause! Would like to see misting stations for the summer and maybe and a water fountain or water jet play area to help beat the heat, this would definitely sweeten it foe family fun and relief from the heat! Still will return again soon! Thank u Tulsa zoo for a great weekend!
The zoo was great! The exhibits we're all well maintained, and the animals were well cared for. Food was good,the pizza was the best thing we got. My favorite part was the fact that there were less than 50 people visiting when we went so it felt like we had booked a private zoo.
Nice place to visit. They have some indoor places with nice temperature, outside was so hot. It is amazing for us and for the animals. I loved the tropical forest habitat. I felt like in Brazil with all the animals and the fresh weather.
