Building Beyond
Your wildest dreams
We invite you to be part of one of the most dynamic and exciting periods in Tulsa Zoo's history.
Tulsa Zoo’s Capital Campaign
The Tulsa Zoo is paving a path toward greatness.
As part of the zoo’s transition from city governance to a public-private partnership, Tulsa Zoo Management, Inc., commissioned a master plan to build the world-class exhibits our community and animals deserve, as well as address the backlog of deferred maintenance at our more than 90-year-old facility.
Already your zoo has delivered. In the few short years since the January 2011 transition, our guests and our animals have been treated to a $26 million, fully funded and completed Phase 1: the Mary K. Chapman Rhino Reserve, Lost Kingdom exhibit complex, the Osage Casino & Hotel Giraffe Barn, the St. John Family Den, plus additional smaller-scale enhancements.
As we continue on this journey, the Tulsa Zoo will rely on the entire community to make our plans a reality. The mission is clear, the vision is far-reaching, and our plan is in place. Your investment will be a part of a lasting legacy and create an impact for decades to come.
Learn more about the campaign and the master plan, then decide what role you will play in helping us build a zoo beyond anyone’s wildest dreams.
