So You Want to See Oklahoma's Finest Beasts? But Not TOO Late...
Ah, the Oklahoma City Zoo! A place where lions roar (hopefully not at you!), elephants casually spray unsuspecting guests with their trunks (don't wear your best white!), and the meerkats stand guard, looking for that perfect Instagram moment. But before you race out the door with your binoculars and safari hat (because, let's be honest, who doesn't have a safari hat?), there's one crucial question:
What time does this glorious zoo shut its gates on the animal kingdom (and eager zoo-goers like yourself)?
Fear not, fellow adventurer! The Oklahoma City Zoo is open most days from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, giving you plenty of time to explore the wonders within. Just be sure to get there by 4:00 pm, because that's when the ticket booth yells, "Last call for wild times!" (Okay, maybe not literally, but you get the idea.)
Tip: Revisit challenging parts.
However, there are a couple of exceptions to this schedule:
- Thanksgiving and Christmas are sacred turkey-devouring and present-opening days, so the zoo is closed. Respect the holidays and the zookeepers' need for pie!
- They may have occasional early closings due to weather. Don't let a rogue Oklahoma twister ruin your zebra stampede dreams! Check their website or social media before you head out to make sure the lions haven't escaped (again, probably not, but hey, stranger things have happened).
Now that you're armed with this vital zoo knowledge, here are some frequently asked questions (because we know you have them):
Tip: Reread complex ideas to fully understand them.
How to get tickets? You can snag them online or at the gate, whichever floats your zoo-going boat.

How much are tickets? Prices vary depending on age, but it's generally wallet-friendly. Check their website for the latest scoop.
Tip: Focus on sections most relevant to you.
How to avoid sweaty meltdowns? Oklahoma gets toasty! Bring water, sunscreen, and a hat. Trust us, sweaty selfies with a grumpy rhino are not a good look.
How to see all the cool stuff? Grab a map and plan your route. The zoo is big, and you don't want to miss the penguin feeding frenzy!
Tip: Every word counts — don’t skip too much.
How to make the most of your visit? Wear comfy shoes, pack some snacks (picnics are welcome!), and bring your sense of adventure. The zoo is a wild place, after all!
So there you have it! With this knowledge, you're practically a zoo-going guru. Now get out there, see some amazing animals, and maybe even learn a thing or two about conservation (because that's kind of the zoo's whole point, but hey, who doesn't love a good giraffe selfie?).
