Description

Adventure awaits you at the Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden.  Featuring 2,500 animals located on 110 beautiful acres, the Oklahoma City Zoo is the state's number one attraction and was voted the third most family-friendly zoo in the country. 

The Oklahoma City Zoo is renowned for outstanding exhibits that allow the resident animals to enjoy their natural habitats while also getting visitors up close vantage points to view all the action.  The Cat Forest and Lion Overlook exhibit features several species of large cats in rocky terrain and dense patches of forest.  Indoor viewing stations are situated so that visitors can stand inside and watch tigers stalk and lions sun themselves.  And outdoor trails through the exhibit offer additional opportunities to watch the variety of large cats.

The Great EscApe exhibit at the Oklahoma City Zoo is a highly regarded showcase for apes including gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans.  Venture into the world of the great apes as you journey through a tropical rainforest and interpretive displays over the six acre exhibit.

For a totally native, totally wild experience, be sure to visit the Oklahoma Trails exhibit, which features eight acres of adventure showcasing more than 800 animals native to the state. The Oklahoma City Zoo is fully accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and the American Association of Museums.

Make sure to visit the Oklahoma City Zoo's brand new Children's Zoo, a place where children can explore, touch and immerse themselves in a natural environment that will stimulate their imagination, encourage exploration and give them a greater appreciation for nature.  Exhibit highlights include an interactive "touch" area with unusual barnyard animals and a natural waterway complete with a waterfall, flamingos and a koi pond.  The Secret Forest exhibit in the Children's Zoo includes climbing areas, thatched huts and natural play spaces for little imaginations to roam.  Visit the spider and squirrel monkeys and let the kids monkey around on the zoo's impressive and fun rope-climbing structure.
