Discover the Wonders of Tulsa Zoo

If you’re looking for an unforgettable family adventure, Tulsa Zoo should be at the top of your list! Tulsa Zoo offers experiences that are truly one-of-a-kind. The opportunity to see animals you won’t see anywhere else in Tulsa, participate in interactive exhibits and engage in educational programs is something your family won’t want to miss. Your visit also supports our conservation partners, making your adventure meaningful and impactful.

Asian elephants

Tulsa Zoo has dedicated 17 of its 124 acres to Asian elephants, including a 10-acre preserve. The preserve, which opened in late 2025 as part of The Mary K. and John T. Oxley Family Elephant Experience and Elephant Preserve, features expansive trees, streams and wetlands. The zoo also added elephants Billy and Tina to the herd in May 2025. Through the team’s extensive knowledge, the bonded pair has now been fully integrated into the existing herd, which includes Booper, Connie, Hank, Sneezy and Sooky.
