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.”

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...

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....

I love aquariums, but temper your expectations. PGAV is a fine company, but the RFP for consultants said the aquarium will contain “between 600,000 and 800,000 gallons” of exhibit space. The Georgia...

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...
Sorry for the double post. Rover beat me to it.
Here's a good article outlining the reasons Sandridge is an unlikely candidate for takeover: http://www.thestreet.com/story/11468370/1/sandridge-energy-is-a-tough-sell.html?cm_ven=GOOGLEN
It looks like the Legos return in November. http://www.exchange-revolution.com/okcityscape/
