You and your WILD ones can have tons of fun in Tulsa Zoo's edZOOcational programs! We offer a variety of learning experiences year-round for families and children ages 4 - 13. Take a look at our classes and workshops for the Tulsa Zoo's super Summer Camp!

All education classes are held in the Helmerich Discovery Center classrooms unless indicated otherwise. Instructors will meet the participants at the entrance to the zoo. At the end of class the participants will be returned to the front of the zoo. If the class is a class restricted to only kids, parents and guardians should be prepared to show ID if asked when picking up a child.

Policies
Behavior Policy: To ensure an enjoyable and safe experience for all children, the zoo's staff manages child behavior. All children are expected to behave appropriately, and in the event of disruptive behavior, a child may be timed-out and removed from the group. If the disruptive behavior continues, the parent/guardian will be called to help find a solution. If improvement is not realized immediately, the parent/guardian may be asked to remove the child early from class and the child may be asked not to return. A refund will be issued.

Behind the Scenes: The unique and special part of some of our educational classes is the opportunity to go behind the scenes, meet keepers, get up-close and learn more about the exotic animals in the collection. To be able to offer this experience, it is imperative that children comply with all safety directions when behind the scenes and wear the prescribed footwear - shoes must completely cover the feet; sandals, heelies, crocs and all other shoes that expose the bare skin of feet to the environment or interfere with walking are never permitted during behind the scene tours. Children who do not follow the behavior policies and safety directions or wear the prescribed shoes will not be permitted in behind the scene areas. In some cases proof of a negative TB test will be required. If this is required, it will be specified on the registration form for that particular class.

Cancellation Policy: Cancellations received more than 10 days before the scheduled class will receive a 90% refund. Cancellations received 1-10 full days before the class will receive a 50% refund. No-shows or cancellations the day off (less than 1 full day notice) are not eligible for a refund.
