The Need-to-Knows
QuickTip: A short pause boosts comprehension.
- General Admission: This is your bread-and-butter ticket to see all the amazing creatures, from playful penguins to grumpy grizzly bears. Here's the skinny on the prices:
- Adults (12-64): You'll be shelling out $16 – less than a movie ticket and way more educational (probably. No guarantees on that last bit).
- Children (3-11) & Seniors (65+): You lucky ducks get a discount at $13 each! Now those saved bucks can go on a cool giraffe keychain or a luminous zebra pencil.
- Wee Ones (2 and under): Free! Because toddlers are basically little explorers in training, and the zoo needs all the future zoologists it can get.
But Wait, There's More!
QuickTip: Don’t just scroll — process what you see.
General admission is fantastic, but maybe you crave an extra-special zoo experience. The OKC Zoo offers some add-on adventures, like:

- Elephant Express Tram: $6 a person will get you a ride on this nifty tram and some up-close elephant encounters.
- Giraffe Feeding: For just $5, you can become a long-necked legend by feeding these gentle giants. Just don't try to share your lunch – they have specific dietary needs (unlike your friend Steve who eats pizza for every meal).
QuickTip: Absorb ideas one at a time.
