What an amazing zoo. Its the best Ive ever been to. We were there for about 4 hours and needed another 2 or 3 to see everything. They have a wonderful play ground for the kids. The enclosures are amazingly designed and decorated. They have a great sampling of animals and such a friendly staff. We will definitely be coming back and we are from AZ.

Is this a safe place to go during current circumstances? YES! This was my first big outing since March and the safety precautions in place are amazing. The signs and sanitizing stations are incredibly effective at keeping you safe on your visit. Seriously, the signs are great. I went on a Monday morning with a 9:00am ticket and only saw one other family until about 11:00am when more people arrived. I recommend bringing your own food or trying the outdoor restaurant near the tigers!

First time to Oklahoma and we wanted to check out the zoo. Its was beautiful and they had so many animals. We felt pretty safe if you came close to someone in passing people would pull up thier mask. Sanitizer stations pretty often as well. The price is great as well. Loved the play area for the kids too. Over all we where very happy with our experience. We will be becoming members as soon as we move out there. Would highly recommend.

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.

I had a great time! A lot was under construction or closed down due to Covid-19. They have Asian elephants but no African elephants which I was a bit saddened by. They did make up for it by having a Komodo Dragon.The different buildings were neat to go through. Lots of animals and birds to see in them. I love the Sealion exhibit.

Very lovely zoo, very safe and I barely met anyone. A++ work for the crew. Just wish they offered more variety of food or have more food vendors open.

It is a nice zoo. The habitats are being updated all the time. The buildings are one way due to Covid. Good family zoo

I have always been a big supporter of the Tulsa Zoo; however, my most recent visit was very depressing. So many of the animals have no partners.When I heard a little girl say to her mother Where are the animals friends ? Why are they so sad ? I want to go home !. I understood the cruelty on so many levels. If Tulsa cant afford the Zoo, set it free.

Been going to the Tulsa zoo essentially my whole life. Its improved a lot over the years adding new features. Sure Ive been to bigger and better zoos (which probably have multitudes times the budget as well) but the Tulsa zoo is mine and wouldnt have it any other way. Taking my son + daughter in the same train and the same caves I went through as a small kid and going to Hallowzooween like I did growing up is great. After the zoo and go across the street to the Air and Space museum to top it off and youve got a wonderful day

I love the zoo. Most of the animals were out and about and the information signs are very informative. My favorite animal is the tiger, but the snow leopards are beautiful also. You have to make reservations now, so they can limit the number of people visiting per day, but its very easy to do.

Pretty nice zoo for what I expected in Tulsa. They have several exhibits with the usual mega fauna, and a great selection of reptiles, birds, and insects. The updated exhibit with the tigers is on point. There are beautiful old growth trees to give visitors plenty of shade. Several concessions for food and drink are easily available. Hopefully they can open up a newly remodeled playground soon for the kids to enjoy, it looks so cool!We will go back.

Most buildings are open with good signage showing how to enter/exit and when you have to have a mask on. They have done a good job on trying to keep everyone and animals safe. We always stop at the Macaw Landing Grille to eat, usually its packed with people and seats but theyve thinned it out for comfortable and safe eating - the food is still hot and delicious.I do wish they would revamp their train line (or habitats) to see more animals. We rode it twice and the first time the only animals we saw where 2 giraffes, the second time we got a treat..an elephant then the giraffes. They do have plexiglass between the seats on the train, also no more all day bracelets for train and carousel rides.All the animals seemed to be out in their habitats inside the buildings. Fun day!

Hallozooween was great. Even though there wasnt as many stopping spots as it has seemed in the past, the kids had a great time. Zoo workers did a great job sanitizing and keeping the place in great shape.

This place is amazing. Not to crowded most animals were out and active. I will come here again.

This place is beautiful! Had a great time with my family! But we went on a Saturday in August in the afternoon so it was blazing hot!! They have cooling stations and areas which was a BIG plus!

So the Zoo was a really good experience!! There are paw prints on the ground for social distancing when there are lines, and the people do a good job of social distancing even without the paw prints. The food was good. I have a burger and fries, and it was a good burger and fries. They dont have Coca Cola there, so that was a downfall because I that is my favorite soda. Most of the animals werent out, but there were geese everywhere. The carousel wasnt open. The train was open, and went all around the park. There is plexiglass between the carts on the train for social distancing. I think that this is good for a good range of people, we had 11 and still had tons of fun. We also went to the gift shop and got some stuff, there stuff is really cool, just a little pricey. Overall it was a good trip, and I will definitely be coming back!

We have been members for years and were debating whether to renew or not. We called the office and spoke with a very knowledgeable gentleman that put our minds at ease, concerning the new safety measures and protocols. We decided to renew and give it a try. Disappointed!!! Definitely need to work on the cleaning! The train had plexiglass covered in mucus and spit. We asked the girls where are the wipes that the web site mentioned? We were informed that they were out and to get more would take too long. When we asked the girls how often they cleaned, they said maybe every 3 hours. No big deal, but if your website claims one thing and your employees are doing something completely opposite, things need to be reevaluated.

Theyre doing a lot of renovation so a lot of the good animals were not available. The kids enjoyef it very much, however.. The food was great. The seals stole the show

Pretty good zoo. I wish they gave you printed maps to make it easier to navigate

The zoo is clean and the animals look like they are well taken care of. The staff that we interacted with were nice ( ticket booth, snack bar, and gift shop). The zoo is well laid out and I didnt feel like we were back tracking or missing anything and the map was easy to understand.

So much fun. They are doing their part to be safe as well.

Pretty good zoo, new park equipment is pretty cool BUT.... Hope you like Communism. The Communist Mask Enforcers are in full Power trip. If you are OUTSIDE at the playground they try to make you wear a mask. Keep America as Free as we can. RESIST

Zoo wasnt as nice this time. I think it needs some more attention but it was a little hot and covid has a few places closed. The train wasnt really worth it but kids might still enjoy it. There seemed to be less animals this time. We still enjoyed our visit and will be back again to support the zoo. Make sure to buy tickets online before you go.

Even with the changes made for COVID-19 and some of the interaction areas being off limits, I feel that this was still an event worth the price. The indoor areas are open to viewing and you can still see all the animals. The train is operating with reduced capacity and the gift shop is open. We didnt have children with us, so many of the interactive sites that were closed didnt apply to us. But to a younger demographic there are fewer places to play.

I recently visited the Tulsa Zoo for HallowZOOeen. It had been several years since I had been to the Zoo. Wow! What a surprise. The whole place looks fantastic! New, upgraded, modern, clean - it really looks great! If you have not been to the zoo recently, I highly recommend you spend an afternoon enjoying our beautiful zoo.

Visited the zoo today with my family for hallzooween and just had an all around great time

I love this zoo! They’re doing great during the coronavirus

We were there for a birthday party. Animals were great. Carousel was the favorite with the kids.

This is going to be one of those zoos that well visit again and again, when were in the Tulsa area. Very well maintained and cared for, and such a great variety of animals to take in, that no one was disappointed in our visit. Be ready to have a mask handy for the indoor areas, and practice a little social distancing, but even that wont put a damper on your visit.

Tons of shade, water fill up stations inside bathrooms if you brought your own water bottle. Staff was kind and courteous. I can see how different the zoo has been over the years with the expanded areas for the animals as well as landscaping. Thank you.

I was actually able to see all the exhibits except for the winter animals. Did not catch any shows but I still enjoyed going there. I rode the train this time but they were only doing round trips around the entire zoo. Usually they would stop mid trip. It even had announcements about every exhibit that we came across. And some history along the way. It is a very long walk so be prepared for it. They have restrooms and cooling stops along the way. Dress comfortably and appropriately because, for me, it was a long walk. Most of the animals were out and about so that was nice too. Prices for drinks were a little higher than Im use to paying for but worth it. They also have alcoholic drinks for anyone that wants one. The food and ice cream were a must!! Delicious in every way!! They have memberships for those that enjoy bringing their families and friends more than once and the prices are worth it. I recommend this zoo to all animal lovers and those that are curious if they are one. Enjoy!! Have fun!! Be safe and watch out for one another.

Friendly staff always ready to answer questions or provide directions. The exhibits are always well maintained and the animals seem very happy!!

We went at 10am on Sunday. The weather was perfect we were able to see all the animals plus go inside a couple of the buildings. There are less people the earlier you go. The staff was great and they had plenty of hand sanitizer stations everywhere. We will definitely be back!

It was fun... a good amount of anamals and not so spread out that you had to walk for miles in between animals.

I grew up in Tulsa, and have been coming to the Tulsa Zoo for over 40 years. Each and every time I came with my mom, the memories were solidified in my brain. All the way back when I was 5. I love those memories. Now, I get to bring my son here and show him the same lion and tiger housing with the mote surrounding it, just like when I was a kid. He appreciated the Flamingos a little more than the lion, out for some sun that day. But, we made the same memories together that I made with my mom so long ago. The whole Zoo is always improving and growing and its exciting to see all the new exhibits each year. Just really thankful the Tulsa Zoo is still The Tulsa Zoo. My hometown Zoo with lots of fun for myself and my family way back then in the early 1970s, as well as now, and the future. Sincerely, a grateful Tulsa native and his son.

I love the zoo, but whew it was crowded today (Sat Sept 12). the buildings were so busy with people thinking it was a mask-free holiday or something that we had to skip my favorite: birds of the desert. luckily the lions, giraffes, and a flock of humming birds were out and about.

Great exhibits, nice design, plenty to do and see. Concessions are open. We like to bring our lunch. Plenty of bathrooms and water bottle refill stations and nursing rooms.Good COVID update info available on the website to help plan your trip.

Was really disappointed with this zoo trip. Several of the animals/reptiles/fish were marked temporarily not on exhibit, and many of the outdoor animals were either not in their public habitats or they seemed lethargic or decrepit. The giraffe and rhinoceros exhibits were enjoyable. Zoo staff were polite and helpful. Our visit started during the 1pm entry group, and zoo staff told us that they were sold out of tickets for the whole day (even more surprising that so many exhibits seemed mediocre).

We love coming to the Tulsa zoo. The new Asian exhibit is incredible. Theyre building a huge new playground near the back train station. It says its opening this spring and it looks great.Heads up though, the bathroom next to the front train station does not have a changing table and is very small. Theres one by the gift shop that works much better for small kids.

I loved the bird habitats! And their snakes were so beautiful and well taken care of. The food was good on our break, and then seeing more rescued animals was just amazing

I grew up in Tulsa, which means I grew up going to this zoo. I have only ever been to one other Zoo, so I don’t have a lot to compare this one too. I’m not going to review The Tulsa Zoo based off my visits during COVID-19, because that wouldn’t be fair. Of course there’s a lot they can improve on, but overall it’s really an amazing zoo with a lot going on. I’ve been a member for a few years, so we get in free every time we come, but I do agree that the admission prices are high. I probably couldn’t afford to bring my family but a few times a year if I hadn’t purchased the membership. I recommend getting a membership, because it saves you so much money in the long run. We never eat when we come, because the food is extremely high, but the good thing is that you can bring your own food and drinks for lunch. My kids love the train, but expect to walk A LOT if you come. The Tulsa Zoo has updated a lot of enclosures over the years, but there’s still a ton to remodel. The building are mostly bare, which sucks. As a kid the building were the best part, so they need to work on those for sure. The chimpanzee building is super outdated, much like the rest of the main attractions enclosures. Hopefully after COVID things start to happen and they can continue to improve the park and open up the much anticipated play ground. Overall we love the Tulsa Zoo and can’t wait to come back.

Very nice zoo and very reasonable entry fees. Had a great time and will have to return to see all of the rest of the exhibts...we started too late

A great zoo! A few years ago was voted AMERICAS FAVORITE ZOO! Lots to see and experience. From the carousel to the train rides, to the kids petting zoo. The Tropical American Rainforest exhibit is my personal favorite with the marmosets, two toed sloths and variety of birds and other animals that roam free. Youll find yourself coming back time and again just because you want to see more than last time!

Decent size and variety of animals. Strange that the large playground was closed but the small ones were not. Overall nice, just a little older looking and sea lions and lions were not on exhibit.

I have been coming to this zoo for around 20 years now. I’ve never had a bad experience. The animals are usually out and seem happy and healthy. They also have a lot of rescues. Prices inside the park for food can be pricey but you’re welcome to pack your own lunch. I will keep coming back to see what’s new!

Nice open spaces. Really impressed with the layout of it

I loved Tulsa zoo! Seals and the snow leopards are my favorite .

We went at the 2pm time slot. It was hot ! The plants/flowers all over the park are beautiful. They had hand alcohol foam or hand washing station placed everywhere. The reservations makes viewing the animals feel more personal. There were buildings open for cool breaks out of the heat. There were dippin dots and refreshment stands open all over the park. We will definitely come back.

Ive been coming here since I was small. My favorite zoo for sure. Cheap for the quality and amount of things available. Good food as well. I love the Tulsa zoo!

The updates in the exhibits are really nice. It makes you feel like youre really in the wild or in an archeology ruin. Wish there were more animals. Only one lion, one elephant, etc

Nice walk didnt get to see many animals because everything is closed. If you want to actually enjoy the zoo, I hope you enjoy long walks with out the desire to see the animals. I also hope you have no plans to allow your children to play at their beautiful park because its closed too. Other than not being able to do much but walk and ride the train it was great to get out. They have a lot of beautiful scenery and it was much better than starting at my four wall at home.

They take good care of their animals and are always improving habitats throughout the years. The elephants enclosure is disappointing but I know that they have plans to expand it and they do a lot of rehabilitation work rather than just caging animals up like some zoos do. Super impressed with this place! I could spend a whole day here easily.

Always a great place to take children and enjoy the atmosphere. I enjoyed the experience.

Awesome zoo! Very well maintained. Really neat landscaping, gardens etc. Very good variety of animals as well. And you cant beat the price !!!!

The animals are treated poorly the sea lion tank was never cleaned every building is dirty even before the coronavirus stuff bathrooms have stall graffiti all over the walls. But any other way its nice

Fun place to visit with kids. If you go early in the day, youre more likely to see more of the animals out, playing and being fed. In late afternoons, a lot of the animals are hiding from the heat and have already eaten. The zookeepers will usually answer questions about the animals if you ask - very helpful staff. $2 per person for a half-loop around the zoo on the train, $4 per person for round trip. Discounts on train and even food and drink for Zoo Friends members. If you plan to take a family more than once per year, the Zoo Friends membership is a great deal and pays for itself very quickly.Edited to add: Im not sure how long it will last but Summer 2019 there is an art exhibit made with ocean plastic. Worth seeing.

Clean, misters, wonderful staff. Go early because the animals have access to cooler areas not visible to guests when its super hot out. Great social distancing and masks are recommended... but not mandatory. Saw lots of people cleaning love the newer restaurant

Wonderful... I visit this place, couple times a year. Never a disappointment. But come as early as you can... not much parking space.

Rained today so no foot traffic. Nice clean place with most pf the attraction open. Worth seeing again

Went to the zoo with my daughters, grandkids and our great-grandsons first trip to the zoo. The weather was perfect, the animals were out and everyone had a great time. The zoo was clean and well organized. Our granddaughter from Oklahoma City said that the Tulsa zoo was more organized than the OKC zoo.

We have a Zoo Pass and enjoy visiting this zoo multiple times a year. The train and carousel are a must do anytime we visit. We enjoy the new Lost Kingdom exhibit and LOVE the new art instillation around the entire zoo!

Went with my nephew and 2 great nephews. It was amazing! The entire zoo is nice but the rainforest that looks like a set from the Indiana Jones movies franchise is incredible!

Our family loved this place. Meerkats that played with us, penguins showing off...and its so BIG!!! Awesome vacation material.

Loved the Tulsa Zoo! We went on a week day and I was pleased that it wasnt too busy.However, we drove 3 hours to see otters and they happen to be the only animals not out that day which was super disappointing.Was also a little surprised that particular exhibits didnt have water on such a hot day, which caused some of the animals to go into hiding in the shade.Overall the park was clean and I like that the zoo wasnt as spread out for walking to each exhibit, compared to others Ive been to. And the animals that were out, were pretty interactive with us!

My family and I really enjoyed the Tulsa zoo. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The animals were active (most of them), the exhibits were clean and a good size, and all the animals looked super healthy. We loved the layout of the zoo and all the plastic animals set up around the zoo, from all the plastic taken from the ocean. My kids really enjoyed that. We got to feed the Giraffes and then dig for gems and pan for gems and geodes. We will definitely be coming back to visit again!

Same great zoo but make sure you call and see if they are completely open. Most of the buildings and all the outdoor play areas are completely closed.

We had an absolute great time at the Tulsa Zoo! Great weather. The animals were actually out and about doing their thing. Kids enjoyed it. Love the new exhibits that added. Hope they can do more to update the park to give the animals more place.

1 thing is it is very beautiful zoo and parkSo much more

I love this Zoo, its not the largest Zoo in the world but they have are very family friendly. Staff is Awesome.

Ok. Not many animals at all.

Very nice! Lovely habitats and landscape but needed more shaded areas between habitats especially considering the hours of operation.

Its the first zoo weve been to in years and everyone who works here was really friendly except the one guy who wasnt. As you can see in the pictures below, there was a loose Peacock running around the zoo and he decided to hang around the food court where we ate lunch. He mostly kept to himself (though he freaked out my kiddo sister in law) so I decided to give him my crust for being so polite. There were no signs that read do not feed the birds or WATCH OUT, roaming Peacocks, so I figured no big deal.I was wrong. A very burly bearded man walked up to us, growled, dont feed the birds!, threw the crust away and walked off. He didnt stick around to make sure we didnt continue to feed the bird, he didnt seem concerned that there was a wild Peacock running around, and he was just overall rude to my family and Ill remember that.The Peacock was kind of cool, I mean he jumped in the Kangaroo pit and 100% picked a fight with every Roo he got close to. His feathers were beautiful and intimidating and though he bugged the tar out of the other animals, he was really nice to us and Ill remember that too. I would recommend this zoo to anyone just to see the roaming Peacocks. I hope this helps. :)

This is a zoo to take family and friends!!.lots to see and something for everyone!! The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. A must see if youre in the area. Atmosphere was great and the facility was very clean. Reasonably priced as well!!

Its a great zoo. The butterfly exhibit is a lot of fun with the youngsters or the guy or gal trying to romance on another!

Its hard to write a bad review during the quarantine guidelines, however, too much of the zoo was closed to justify paying full price for a ticket. Today was the coolest day of the summer and over half of the animals were locked up, which left many of the main exhibits empty. The food at one of the restaurants had some of the worst food Ive had in a long time. If Im paying $30.00 for myself, my wife, and my 2 year old to eat some burnt chicken strips, something needs to change. The times are rough for many businesses, but taking advantage of people paying for a full ticket to see an empty zoo is a little ridiculous.

My 2year old was excited to see all the animals we just cant wait for the children petting zoo to open back up

Went for Hallowzooween this year, AGAIN, its always fun seeing everyones costumes and interacting with the kids and staff as a Stormtrooper.Highly recommend! Come by and visit it sometime! Even without Halloween, its a neat place, just wish the animals had MUCH larger areas to roam. Thats my only complaint other than prices, but animals are NOT cheap to maintain.

Great Zoo. Animals and exhibits are great with plenty of space and variety. Reasonable prices for a Zoo with plentiful concessions and rest stops. Great experience and and can fill a day easily.

I’ve lived here my whole life and the zoo has gradually gotten better over the years. I’m impressed with the improvements as well as the new arrangement of animals. This visit was particularly nice because the animals were actually active and not off season. Though there was a lot of animals off season during this time we had a great time this go around aside from the cafe being closed and I got great pictures. The free roam peacock was nice to see and as always the petting zoo was fun for my daughter.

Animals that they do have are very close up which is great, but a lot of exhibits are empty and run down and its so spread out it takes all day to just get threw the park yo see all the animals which is harder to do with small kids...the worst part is the entire park is INFESTED with bees and wasps! Which sucks for someone with a severe bee allergy, 90%of our park trip was running from bees, they have nests everywhere including by the doors of the indoor exhibits...really regret getting a membership

It was great! The only thing they should do is open up the parks and more activities, my little brother was sad cause he could not go to the new park! Please open that as soon as possible

We had a nice time everybody was social distancing was doing a good job of keeping everything sanitized on the outside tables and benches

This zoo is a very simple but relaxing zoo to be at. I can definitely recommend this to people if they’re in this state. It’s simple but fun to be at!

Had a blast today. It was a pretty hot out today so a lot of animals were resting.

This zoo is the best value for the price. It does give discounts to those with other zoo memberships. Such a wonderful variety of animals and fun for the littlest ones to be had at the playground. Feeding the fish and turtles in the pond was the best.

Its a great place to take your kids to see animals theres a lot of walking lot of neat things to see I took my grandson and he loved it you ought to try it.

First time visitor, just moved to Tulsa. We bought a family membership. Guessing approx 25% of the animals were cooling off someplace away from the sun as we couldn’t find them. Reasonable prices. I’d plan NOT to eat a meal here - won’t go too into it but counter attendants not the most pleasant and food sparse, old, and flies. But who goes to a zoo to eat anyway? Clean, fine, not crowded and great to live in a city with rhinos ️

Very clean and well maintained! Great place to spend a day and wear your kids out!

This place is amazing and so much fun.

Awesome experience for the family even though some parts are closed off we spent 4 hrs strolling around taking in what they had to offer..... the Grizzly bear is a huge highlight.

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

I absolutely adore the zoo and always have. We went for mothers day. 3 generations enjoying a beautiful day together. The staff is so awesome. There were 10 of us and we got separated in line for the train. The cut off for boarding was right before our second group. We let the lady know and she was so sweet. She shuffled some strollers and figured out how to keep us all together. The buildings and outdoor exhibits are wonderful. Lovely day.

I understand the fact that covid effected some parts of the zoo so there were some closures I wasn’t upset about, however a whole section of the zoo was closed for construction that was not mentioned online. Apart from that the animals had ample space in their exhibits, walkways were very wide to accommodate large families, and had multiple cool down stations for the Oklahoma heat.

It was closed but I always enjoy visiting the zoo. Its a great place to walk for exercise!

Perfect place to bring young children for an afternoon. The workers are friendly and helpful. Plenty of places to eat. There were several animals out today for viewing. Good selection of buildings with different animals, birds, reptiles and fish to visit. The admission price is resonable. You can bring in your own food and drink. Several nice relaxing areas to eat. Play ground for children. The restrooms were clean. Plenty of parking.

Great price, absolutely loved this zoo. All day family fun and budget friendly! Really neat exhibits. Wish there was more interactive entertainment but overall an amazing experience.

This zoo is world class! Its just nestled inside of Mohawk Park this zoo is big enough to spend the day if you plan out your activities and watch the shows the deals put on, which is bet entertaining and educational. There are exhibits that get you close the animals.

Great place to spend the day with the family. The new playground for the kids looks awesome. Hopefully it will open soon.

Love the Tulsa zoo!Whatever this guy is he was chillin!

Great place but misadvertising the close time as 5pm but the all the buildings are closed 30 minutes earlier at 4:30pm
