HOURS AND OPERATIONS UPDATE: Starting Thursday, June 5, the entrance drive of the Zoo will be closed as we prepare for our fourth annual OKC Zoo Gala: Waddle and Whirl! During this time, ADA parking will be located within the Zoo's large parking lot. The Zoo will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. but will be closing early at 3 p.m. on Friday, June 6. Regular parking lot operations will resume on Sunday, June 8. The OKC Zoo Gala: Waddle and Whirl is SOLD OUT! This year, the OKC Zoo Gala is dedicated to raising support for our newest habitat expansion Shore to Sea which will bring African penguins to the Zoo. This year's gala will honor Claudia Holliman, BancFirst, the late Gene Rainbolt, Larry Mathis, and Mathis Home for their commitment to conservation, animal care, and dedication to supporting the Oklahoma City Zoo. If you’re interested in supporting the Oklahoma Zoological Society and the OKC Zoo, our fans can participate in this year's silent auction! The silent auction will open to all OKC Zoo fans on Monday, June 2 and will close on Friday, June 6.
