Educational Family Fun
We really enjoyed our visit here. We arrived just in time to see the river otters being fed. An on-site biologist was very friendly and gave us a lot of information about otters. There are several outdoor exhibits housing a coyote, a bobcat, several different native snakes, turtles & alligators with easy to walk pathways throughout. The aquarium is home to many varieties of native Oklahoma fish & amphibians as well as those from around the world. We were treated to an exciting and very informative feeding of one of the 2 electric eels they have in their exhibit. The biologist working with the eels was quite entertaining. We were also allowed to pet a skunk (they have 3 on site - scent glands removed). They also have a tide pool exhibit where you can touch some fascinating sea creatures. This is a fun and educational place to visit with great hands-on experiences for everyone.

Fun spot for the family
The kids and adults loved this little gem. You begin by looking at all sorts of fish, many native to Oklahoma. Then there are lizards, tarantulas and other creepy crawlies inside. Outside there are alligators, snakes,bob cat, otters and if you buy food you can feed the turtles and quail!!! FYI....buy the food! It's a lot of fun. Theres a small little gift shop too....I like getting magnets and they had some pretty ones.
