Project Timeline: On hold to prioritize projects that benefit the animals in our care; will move forward after completion of Oxley Family Elephant Experience and Elephant Preserve and William S. Smith African Wilds.
The Tulsa Zoo experience begins at the front door. The improved entry sequence will streamline ticketing for visitors and increase guest amenities for an updated experience for our guests.
At current estimates, annual zoo attendance will grow to 800,000 guests or more with the opening of the elephant and African Wilds projects. Our current front entry cannot accommodate that number of guests. While the continued growth is exciting, it also brings the need for additional restrooms, security and first aid stations, and queuing and ticketing spaces to maintain an enjoyable guest experience.
