I have been to quite a few zoo's around the country and I can say that this zoo is very good. The Oklahoma Trails exhibit is one of the best I have seen of local animals in their habitat. The animals all seemed to have plenty of room to roam around and were easily seen in their setting. Someone might... more

The Oklahoma City Zoo is great. I read the other reviews and was worried, but when we got there it was not a dissappointment. We drove about 4 hours to get there and it was worth it. We stayed overnight, then went to the zoo the next morning which was a Monday. They did not have any elephants, due to... more

But not right now. There are a few recent negative reviews here, and they have some validity - even if their ratings are FAR too harsh. I just read a review of the San Antonio zoo where the caged animals were being taunted and abused, with too few employees to handle the public. YOU WILL NEVER FIND THAT HERE. The... more

I grew up in OKC and went to the zoo many times over the years. As an adult, I moved out of state and always bragged about how great the OKC Zoo was. This week I returned with my children and took them to the zoo. The day was beautiful, the temp perfect, the grounds looked nice but the zoo... more

I'm a lifelong OKC resident and I've been to our zoo many times and I'm glad to say I've seen it grow and keep pace with modern zoo design. Some years we've even bought the yearlong family pass because we frequented so often. Pros: Midsize. Nice architecture. Very clean. Modern. Plenty of facilities for food, restrooms, air conditioning. Cheap price... more

I have to say that this zoo is very dissapointing! I checked the website before we went and they said they had face painting , swann paddle boat rides and this magnificent butterfly exzibit. When we go there they had no face painting, the swann paddle rides were shut down for maintenence and there were probably about 10 butterflies that... more

We have been to several zoos in the past year as we have a two and a half year old son who loves animals. We seem to find something outstanding or special at each one. The exhibits that we found to be the best at this zoo are: 1. Great EscApe - great area to see gorillas, chimps, and orangutans.... more

My husband and I visted this zoo in June. We have been to zoo's all over the country from San Diego, to Forth Worth, to Virginia, and we would have to say this is the worst zoo we've ever been too. There is a lot of wasted time walking, few animals, and those animals that are around are hard to... more

I have gone to the Tulsa Zoo, Dallas Zoo, Fort Worth Zoo, Kansas City Zoo, and others. By far this Zoo is the best around. The admission is cheap compared to places like Sea World, San Deigo Zoo, and Diney Land/World. This Zoo is very educational. The front of the zoo looks a little disappointing because of construction but after... more
