Terrible excuse for a Zoo. Don't waste your money. Go to the Fort Worth Zoo if you want to see what a Zoo should really be like. More

Don't even let me start.... Of course they recently had a giraffe die from a neck problem it was on the local news. The polar bear exhibit had a crack on the aquarium and had the fur pellet for all kids to see since the polar bears were not out. The only nice feature is the black marble earth globe... More

So many exhibits and things to see. We are going to take our 2 year old there this summer. It was our oldest boy's first zoo to see and I remember how excited he was years ago. Lots of animals and info! You won't be disappointed. More

I have only lived in Tulsa for a few months but have already been to the zoo 3 times. The grounds are beautiful and they have a wide variety of animals. I also really appreciate the fact that you can bring in your own food. I usually pack a sack lunch and buy some ice cream there. There is also... More

We go to the Tulsa zoo several times every year. The layout is very nice, the animals are usually visible, the gardens are nice and there is quite a bit of shade for the summer months. More
