Oklahoma Zoological Society (OZS) - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

My wife and I decided to make a day of at the Oklahoma Zoo. It has been years since we have gone to the zoo. The last time was at the San Deigo Zoo. So, we were pleasantly surprised at how the various animal enclosures imitated their natural habitat. It was like we were walking through the African savanna. We enjoyed it immensely and can not wait to return to the OKC Zoo!!! I gave it four out of five due to the lack of animals being out. They are in the process of getting all the animals acclimated to their new environment, but we loved it!!!

This Zoo is amazing! Friendly staff and so well kept! It is a great time for any age! Not many places to eat when we went in February. Had the best time!
10/10 recommend!!!

Fantastic family friendly, highly walkable zoo. All the exhibits and the grounds are very well taken care of. Ticket prices are very reasonable and the family pass is an amazing deal. Good for many hours of fun and multiple repeat visits.

I'm so glad that everything is reopened. The weather was perfect today, and all the animals were out and about. Good experience!

This zoo is BIG. I'm sure it's not as big as some of them out there, but almost too big to see in a day. Certainly too big to enjoy properly, everything they offer, in one day with a four year old. Be prepared to buy or bring plenty of water/beverages and if you're with kiddoes, you'll likely get to buy an extremely expensive lunch as well. (You can't bring food in.) That being said, they had an excellent selection of food options available. If you can deal with the 30 minute line wait and another 15 for your food, you're in good shape.

They have a large variety of animals, almost all of them (minus most of the big cats) were out for us to admire and gawk at. The giraffe enclosure felt like a miserable three mile walk with no shade in scorching heat and it was absolutely NOT worth it one we got to where they were feeding them. Which, apparently, if you don't get there an hour early, aren't going to get to do because there's much too much of a line there, too. (With absolutely no shade their, either.) Beyond the giraffes, the reptile building was packed to the gills with people. They should - even without Covid concerns - be monitoring how many people were in that building at a time. It was wall-to-wall bodies and you could barely move. We left that scene pretty quickly.

We did really enjoy the nocturnal animal enclosure with the bats and owls, as well as getting to see a gorilla - that's been on the kid's to-do list for an entire year. The seals were fun too. And the eagles were a delight.

Overall, it was a well kept zoo with a lot to offer and see, and I suppose if we had been better prepared and had a better mapped out path, we'd have done better overall, but in the end, I felt like it just wasn't that great of an experience.

Cannot wait to go back one last time this year! We got zoo passes that are good for a year to date! It's an awesome deal that is tax deductible. The zoo workers are knowledgeable and ready to answer questions. We went on a rainy day in September and almost all of the animals were out!

We always enjoy our time at the zoo. Bring plenty of money if you want to do anything extra. A Canopy lunch will add up fast we spent $45 for 4 people. Visit the stingrays for $4 (extra to feed), camel rides are $6 a piece and it's only one circle, tram rides for 4 people will be $25. Lots of good walking and amazing sites and memories will be made though.

I haven't been to the zoo in years, but it was awesome. Last time I went they were still building the new Asian area. I saw it yesterday, and it is awesome. They also have a dinosaur exhibit that is pretty cool as well.
