Tulsa Zoo Management, Inc. Review

Annual membership pays off here. My kids love it and we never get bored, and we never see it all in one visit.

Great place to be!! They have plenty of indoor and outdoor attractions for keeping cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Love the misters and water fountains but I do wish there were more of them. There's almost none after the front entrance and before the kingdom

The Tulsa zoo has been around 90 yrs It opens at 9am til 5pm 7 days a wk 363 days a yr. Closed the 3rd Fri in June and Christmas Day Adults-$12 kids 3-11$8 65+$10 as you Cross the bridge you can see loads of turtles & huge carp in the Creek loads to see wildlife that you normally wouldn't get to see the experience is exhilarating seeing these up close seals rhinoceros elephants bears tigers lions flamingos just a few the Butterfly exhibition jungle Amazon( warm climate) exhibition then on the inside there's different exhibitions that you can see that the children really enjoy spiders and snakes Birds huge fish tanks with multiple kinds of fish and alligators and if you get tired ride the train grab a bite (expensive) or pack a backpack for lunch an enjoy the day the Zoo is for all ages young or young at heart memories to look back on or making of new memories ENJOY

Is affordable and has a few areas where family with kids can take breaks and eat

Had a blast just felt like the train should have been included with admission

Good collection of animals and an easy to navigate pathway. Food and facilities are good as well.

Love the attention to endangered species and doing the best they can with newer exhibits to give the animals s more natural habitat. Zoo keepers were friendly and fill if interesting information. Also nice to see do many ways to learn about the animals, not just see them.

We have a membership and it pays for itself after only a few visits. Some exhibits like the polar need to be updated asap. They need another polar bear.

Voted one of America's Favorite Zoos along with the San Diego's and Oklahoma City's

I was really impressed with my recent visit to the Tulsa zoo. They have renovated some of the exhibits and it appears as if they plan on renovating more or at least plan on it the near future. This is great for the Tulsa zoo. Maybe even expanding the the park and updating the transit system would be a great addition. I gave it 4 stars considering the zoo just hit its 90th anniversary and is starting to slowly but surely come alive again. Once it's fully renovated and feels like we have one of the top zoo's in our region, I will gladly give it 5 stars. Keep up the upgrades!

Just ok. Somewhat underwhelmed with this zoo. Half the animal cages were closed for the winter and their was construction. I like Little Rock Zoo better!

Always fun!! I did expect a little more from the new exhibit but can't complain. It made my kids happy and sleepy. Good times to be had.

Always enjoy coming. I understand the precautions but the way to exit was a little confusing.

Very impressed. Great animals and great displays that made the animals very visible. Loved the docents on hand to share stories.

Great place for singles or families to visit. They keep remodeling and improving the animal's enclosures. Get the annual pass saves money and helps support the improvements of the zoo. The pass can be used at the OKC zoo as well.

None of the animals were visible, a bunch of the booths, cafes, and the petting zoo were closed.

Came here for the first time and had a great experience

First time at this zoo with my family. We really enjoyed it! Alot of different animals to see plus more. I like how they have exhibits inside so you can cool down from being outside. Also the sidewalks are in shaded areas at times, so that makes it nice. We got to watch the sea otter show ! It was cute ! The zoo is a good size. Not too little, not to big.

A fun little zoo with train rides (costs extra) and you can bring in outside food!

Perfect weather made our experience wonderful the animals were active and well taken care of too.

ONLY 40% OF ANIMALS WERE THERE AND IT'S NO SMOKING PERIOD.
I would've chosen another place to go yesterday if I would've known that they didn't have most of their animals. They should atleast tell you before you buy your ticket that almost all the animals aren't actually there. Most of the coolest animals weren't even there. The other thing was that they brag about having 85 acres of park, but they can't a quarter acre for a smoking area? That sucks. It was pretty much a waste of time, looking at a bunch of empty cages and having nicotine fits. I'm glad I didn't just drive to Tulsa to go to the zoo or I would've been severely disappointed. I should've just saved my time and money and played the games at the bass pro shop there.

Definitely nice to explore and learn about the beautiful wildlife!

We go almost every weekend in each time it's amazing I highly encourage getting a membership to this place

Its a zoo....you either love it or you would rather be inside playing video games.

TOO MANY BEES FLYING AROUND! THESE BEES WILL LAND ON YOUR SHIRT! A LOT OF EXHIBITS ARE CLOSED OR CHAINED UP DUE TO COVID-19! NO RESTAURANT IS OPEN!

Well kept and clean zoo. Exhibits let you have close views of the animals - especially the tiger and elephants. It's a ripoff that Mohawk Park charges an entrance fee per vehicle.

I like this zoo, after taking my son all these years , I still keep coming back.

Very Fun. It is clean and well looked after. A large selection of animal exhibits to look at and keep entertained. There is not many water fountains though.

I brought my kid here for Hallo-zoo-een. It was packed and we waited in line for about an hour and a Half. It was dark so the animals weren't out and we walked the trail for candy. If you go for the event I recommend getting there very early because finding a parking spot is difficult and if you're not a member you will stand in a long line waiting.

An amazing experience my children had blast!! Definitely coming again

Always a great experience. Just wish they would find ways to get funding to upgrade the older parts of the zoo. Overall the zoo is fun and has lots to do.

This place is great for having fun with your friends and family! If you go here be sure to check out the black footed cat it's so adorable!

I would have given 5 stars but I expected to see more animals. Overall not a bad place with animals.

Fantastic place to bring the family. Spring time is usually best, there really is no bad time

I grew up in Tulsa so have been to the zoo a zillion times. Whenever I feel bored or need a mental lift, or time for thoughts, I go take a pleasant stoll through the zoo. I leave with a smile and problems don't seem so big. The animals are great and exercise is good for the soul.

This is my favorite zoo in Oklahoma. The staff Is great and they have a great selection of animals.

This zoo does not have enough shade and sitting areas considering how far apart everything is. You get excited to go, then your feet hurt and you don't want to go back again for a year.

Great place! Loved how it was planned out, and all the animals!

Tulsa zoo is a great place to take the family, especially if you purchase a family pass for the year and go multiple times, which is the most cost effective way. You can spend all day at the zoo before you've seen everything. Very clean, and most of the zoo relatively modern. It's a very popular place so it gets busy over breaks and weekends.

The Rainforest building is always my favorite place to visit, and my family and I have a lot of fun playing 'Spot the Sloth'!

The place needs some lawn care. The bushes need trimmimg. Other that that, its a great place.

The construction makes the zoo nearly unable to navigate. Additionally my wife was pregnant and thirsty and we could not found a wager fountain anywhere. I will amend my review when the construction is complete.

Zoo is always fun. The renovations are wonderful. Baby elephant is so cute.

I love this zoo! There are some zoos that are so spread out you just can't walk it all in one day. This zoo has all the animals other zoos have but its laid out in such a way that there isn't quite as much walking. There are llaenty of buildings to get in out of the sun and there's a huge playground. There's a petting zoo, a train, and a really nice merry go round.

I go to this zoo all the time and would recommend it to anyone.

Great experience. Kids loved it. Affordable to get in, but food and things were way overpriced

Can't wait to go back! Well maintained. Clean. Great play ground.

Our family loves this zoo! All sorts of neat stuff. We go frequently.

The Meerkats stole the show. I miss the polar bear.

It's very clean and the staff are friendly

Always love seeing all the animals. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Wonderful updates for a lot of the habits.

The zoo itself was awesome. The exhibits that were actually open were, anyway.he train wasnt working and after waiting a half an hour, with a very road long trip back to Missouri in front of us, we asked for our 40+ $ in train ticckets to be refunded. She said that she could not and they were good anytime. We showed her drivers license showing we are mid-Missouri residents and she still said, no sorry. We stated they should have told us they were non refundable at the time of purchase. No response. Based on getting screwed out of 3 round trip train tickets, that we could not use due to no fault of our own....won't be back.

Always love visiting the Tulsa Zoo! They have a great train ride. My favorite parts are the Rainforest, the seal show, and the penguins. Also enjoyed the new tiger exhibit.

It was ok.. they need to update their maps, lower the prices of their food and drinks, most of the animals were sleeping as they are everytime we visit the best part about our visit was the train ride, the carousel, and going home.

Today we had to make reservations to enter the park. That was understandable. However when filling it out, it wasn t CLEARLY posted on how to select our time slot, so we made a purchase for 3 adult tickets one child and one infant. Realizing I hadn t selected a time, I called to ask. I am told my ticket is non refundable, however they are reserving our ticket for next time since the time Slot wasn t ideal for our Whole family. We get there at 2pm for our time slot, by 4pm they had taken all the animals back inside and we couldn t see them. There was no maps to be handed out and the maps they had on site weren t very clear. No where on the website was it posted that both the kiddie park and petting zoo was closed, which was disappointing because we drove from Kansas to pet animals, when we could have went to the caney zoo instead. There were several enclosures with no animals at all. We seen no tigers/lions, no rhinos, no reptiles, the rainforest was closed, but that one was actually listed on their website that it would be. I wouldn t have left a review at all, however apon leaving on Labor Day of 2020, the boy working the exit was so rude when I mentioned updating the website I felt the need to let other people know.

A lot of precaution were taken because of COVID and we understand that and appreciate it. I just wish we would have been made aware before packing up our children and taking that drive.

First time in ten years that I have visited this zoo. Disappointed the Polar Bears are gone. A lot of animals have been moved due to the entire zoo being upgraded but all in all a great place to visit. In a few years I believe this to be a premier zoo in Oklahoma

This is great place to visit tulsa zoo is a nice family outing.the park is nice for picnics scavenger hunts nice place to take ur 4 leged family members as well

It keeps getting better every time we visit! Check out the Zoorassic exhibit.

It's a nice zoo and we picked a good day to go and were able to see many of the animals. I would say that its also really clean. But its not a five star zoo because its a small city zoo that has no money and the facilities are dated. There are a few bathrooms but my recommendation is plan your visit well if you need one frequently but don't use the hokie map cause they are inaccurate. Bring a picnic cause there are plenty of places to enjoy and they dont mind at all.
