On Today’s Center Stage: Oklahoma City Zoo

With the weather taking a turn for the better, I’m craving outdoor activities. Since I moved back to OKC, I’ve wanted to check out the zoo and see all of its changes.

I’m particularly excited about the new Children’s Zoo. The Children’s Zoo, which opened just about 2 weeks ago, is a 2.5 acre, $8 million facility featuring special exhibits designed just for kids. The Children’s zoo offers plenty of ways for kids to interact with the animals, including a special area for children to feed and pet furry and feathered friends.

CityCard holders receive 2-for-1 admission to the zoo (or 50% off single admission), so the family can go for a discounted rate. And the zoo is open on Sunday, if you’d like to do a fun family activity on Easter day (maybe you can have a family competition…the first to see a REAL Easter bunny, wins!).

Check out the Oklahoma City Zoo by visiting www.okczoo.com. And get your CityCard at www.okcitycard.com.

And I love this photo from NewsOK.com. It shows Adrana Kennedy, 7, taking photos of the goats of all of the goats at the Children's Zoo.
