Oklahoma City Zoo

Often ranked as one of the top 10 Zoos in the United States, the Oklahoma City Zoo is also the oldest in the Southwest.

In addition, there are special shows, concessions, tours, outreach programs, rides and picnic areas. The Zoo Amphitheater is also a treat, offering outside live music.

11/12/25 I went to every machine and they were all out of order. I asked the workers and they said that they have been out of pennies or broken for a bit now and no one is doing anything about the machines.

09/04/2026 Outdoor machines did not work but machine inside gorilla habitat does work and has 8 designs for $5. Cash option for 1 penny/$1 card option only for 8/$5.
