Spend a day with some of OKC's most exotic residents at the Oklahoma City Zoo & Botanical Garden's Zoo Lovers Day. During Zoo Lovers Day, the zoo's hours will be extended to 8pm and allow guests to connect with zoo experts with themed enrichment activities featuring select animals. The activities will start with the Galapagos tortoise before the Sumatran tigers in the Cat Forest, followed by the Sanctuary Asia events featuring the Asian elephants and cassowaries. The activities then move to the river otter and grizzly bears at the Oklahoma Trail before concluding at Expedition Africa with the African lions, giraffes, red river hogs and lemurs. 

Throughout the day, guests are encouraged to donate to causes focusing on the OKC Zoo's mission, animal family and conservation programs. Donors will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win exclusive prizes. Each donation will be matched up to $10,000. Don't miss your chance to spend a little extra time at the zoo while supporting a great cause at the Oklahoma City Zoo & Botanical Garden's Zoo Lovers Day this April.
