Tulsa Zoo is a fun environment for our guests and our animal residents, so there are a few rules we have to abide by.
State law prohibits smoking on zoo grounds. Guests wishing to smoke are asked to go the foot of the entrance bridge. Hand stamps provided at the information booth allow reentry.
Some outside objects are prohibited on grounds because they pose a threat to our animals. These include balloons, confetti, piñatas and streamers. For the same reason, we do not offer lids or drinking straws in our beverages.
For the safety of our guests and animals, we do not allow bicycles, skateboards, skates, scooters, balls, frisbees or "wheelies" on zoo grounds. Tulsa Zoo staff reserve the right to restrict the use of any item which may be harmful to guests or animals.
During your visit, you may be photographed or filmed. Your admission to the Tulsa Zoo serves as your permission for use of your image by Tulsa Zoo Friends and the Tulsa Zoo.
You may use cameras and videocameras in the Tulsa Zoo for personal use only. Commercial use of photographs or video taken by you during your visit is prohibited without prior written consent of Tulsa Zoo Friends. Contact 918-669-6635 for more information.
We do not allow pets on zoo grounds for the safety of our animals and yours. Service dogs are permitted, and prior notice is appreciated so we can have a docent available to escort you on grounds. Access will be limited to certain areas of the zoo.
