Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden

Termed as one of the best vacation spots, the Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden is easily among the top 10 most fun spots to check out for animal lovers and nature enthusiasts alike. It has more than 500 different species of animals, including 100 of which are native to the state, carefully arranged throughout 11 unique “zones” and sections that are easy to navigate. Operational for over a hundred years, the Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden will give you the chance to get up close and personal with certain animals through behind-the-scenes events, and there are activities like feedings, shows, demonstrations, and touch tanks to check out. There are even some enclosures that you can safely walk through, and there are rides on trains and boats to bring you around more easily! The animals you can expect to see at the zoo are lions, tigers, gorillas, rhinos, wallabies, giraffes, lorikeets, Komodo dragons, stingrays, elephants, bears, red pandas, and more. You’ll also get to feast your eyes on habitats mimicking the Ozark Highlands, Turner Falls, the Black Mesa, and beyond. Don’t forget to peruse the botanical garden section, too.
