    Re: OKC Zoo

    Good grief. Their own website still has a page promoting when it was supposed to open Spring 2023. https://www.okczoo.org/habitats#collection=1616

    Re: OKC Zoo

    I agree the secrecy has been super annoying. They did slip in a Facebook post on May 28, stating that Expedition Africa is “slated to open this June.”

    Re: OKC Zoo

    The marine mammal project should be an incredible addition. Zoos know that penguins are a big draw, so a good number of them build small exhibits with 10 or 12 birds. Not here. The new habitat in OKC...

    Re: OKC Zoo

    Seeing everyone talking about future zoo plans, I thought I’d share this info. This month’s zoo trust meeting included approval of a contract with Studio Hanson Roberts for a new master plan....

    Re: OKANA Resort & Indoor Waterpark

    I know I’m the one who started the “why isn’t the aquarium bigger” debate, but I’ll join in defending the zoo as a whole. People complaining about Sanctuary Asia may not realize the elephant complex...

    Re: OKANA Resort & Indoor Waterpark

    I won’t either, but I am disappointed at where it stands right now. The size they’re talking about at this point is smaller than the aquariums in New Orleans, Corpus Christi, Springfield, Nashville,...

    Re: First Americans Museum

    100% agree. My intent wasn’t to criticize being out of the top five. I’d be ecstatic if we had something along the lines of the aquarium in New Orleans. I just think some may need to temper...

    Re: First Americans Museum

    Most zoo and aquarium nerds (like me) debate whether the Georgia Aquarium or Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium is the best in the country. The previously mentioned National Aquarium in Baltimore and Monterey...
