Tulsa Zoo

Mission ImPopsicle presented by Renewal by Andersen is back! 🧊 Throughout the summer, our care teams create frozen ice enrichment of all shapes and sizes, encouraging natural behaviors, activity and play for the animals in our care.

Giving is a treat, too! From now through Labor Day, help us reach our goal of raising $30,000 for the Tulsa Zoo operating fund through donations at a variety of chill symbolic giving levels.

Want to add a little extra fun to your visit? Join us for Operation: Ice Spy on Saturday, June 20, supported by Scheels, and Monday, September 7, supported by Andy B's, from 10 a.m. to noon. Purchase an Ice Spy card for $10 at the Front Globe, visit all four stops and receive a special Mission ImPopsicle prize as you leave the zoo.

Don't miss this unique chance to support the Tulsa Zoo and connect with your favorite animals as they lick, chew and explore their cool ice creations! 🍧

Delaware, Bernice, Peoria and Estella recently received their routine wellness exams. Each bald eagle had their weight checked and received thorough body evaluations from our veterinary staff, including inspections of their eyes, ears and feathers. Routine care like these procedures play an important role in monitoring these birds' overall health and wellbeing! 🦅

Today is ! 🦦🌎 This annual awareness day highlights the importance of otter conservation and the role these animals play in their ecosystems. North American river otters help maintain balance in aquatic habitats as important predators, and their presence can be a sign of a healthy waterway.

At Tulsa Zoo, we’re proud to care for Flo, our North American river otter! If you’d like to learn more about her and the care she receives, join us for our North American river otter keeper chats every Thursday in June at 2 p.m. (excluding June 25) and hear directly from her expert caretakers.

ZooLIGHTful has officially been extended through June 28 and will now take place Wednesdays through Sundays from 7–10 p.m.!

There’s still time to stroll through over a mile of glowing handcrafted lanterns and experience the zoo in a whole new light. 🌙
