Adventure District zoo with diverse animal habitats, botanical gardens, Wild Encounters, train tours, and family events at Remington Place in northeast OKC.
Oklahoma City Zoo in the Adventure District — Wildlife, Gardens & Family Fun
The Oklahoma City Zoo is one of the metro's flagship family destinations — a full-day Adventure District attraction at 2000 Remington Place with diverse animal habitats, botanical gardens, walking trails, animal shows, and seasonal events. The zoo's mission centers on conservation: inspiring visitors to take action for wildlife and wild places while delivering an experience that works for kids, parents, and out-of-town guests alike.
Why the OKC Zoo Stands Out
OKC Zoo packs variety into a single northeast OKC campus. Exhibits span continents and ecosystems, while on-site botanical gardens, a train tour, and add-on Wild Encounters (bears, rhinos, elephants, Galapagos tortoises, and more) give repeat visitors reasons to come back. It sits minutes from Science Museum Oklahoma on the same Remington Place corridor — an easy two-attraction day for families.
What to Expect
- Diverse animal habitats and caretaker chats throughout the day

Hours & Practical Tips
