Visiting the Zoo? Check out some of these educational activities (Weather permitting, some are seasonal. Be sure to check the front gate for changes and additions!):
Drop by the Hemlerich Discovery Center: Open 10:00-noon and 1:00-3:00 daily, this is a great interactive area where you can touch a snake shed, learn about Oklahoma animals, meet some of our animal ambassadors up close and much more! Located between the gift store and the elephants, this is the best kept secret at the Zoo!
Attend a Keeper Talk/Animal Feeding:
• Penguins (1:30 pm Fri/ Sat/ Sun, year-round)
• Aldabra Tortoises (11:30 am Mon/Thurs/Sat, summer only)
• Elephant Demonstrations (11:00 AM - Elephant Demo Yard - Weekends- Weather Permitting)
Visit Nature Exchange - a fun, interactive learning environment for students of all ages. Our program is unique to the Tulsa area; in fact we are the only program like this within 200 miles.
