Upcoming at the Zoo
Mission ImPopsicle
Ice enrichment is a fun part of the summer experience for our animals. Our care teams freeze water into healthy popsicles of all shapes and sizes to make engaging ice treats that encourage enjoyable activity for our animals. This June through August, guests have the special opportunity to participate in Mission ImPopsicle, a unique chance to donate to the Tulsa Zoo and connect with your favorite animals as they lick, chew or stare at their cool ice creations!

Experience WALTZ as we continue our inaugural world tour on Friday, September 12, 2025 from 7 p.m. - 10:30 p.m. Every ticket is a first-class experience on this roaming culinary adventure around the world, celebrating three of the regions our animals call home:
Arctic Circle. Asia. North America.

Billy and Tina Arrival
We are proud to share the first photos of Billy and Tina, together, at Tulsa Zoo. Our team is working collaboratively with Los Angeles Zoo to ease the transition and ensure we understand Billy and Tina’s individual needs. Both teams feel strongly that being together during the quarantine period is best for their social needs and wellbeing. The two could be heard trumpeting as they were successfully reintroduced in our Elephant Preserve Barn.
Conservation On Tap May 16 to Benefit Asian Songbirds
The Tulsa Zoo will host the seventh annual Conservation on Tap from 6:30-9 p.m. on Friday, May 16. The event will feature 29 breweries, distributors and home brewers with proceeds benefitting critically endangered Asian songbirds at the Cikananga Conservation Breeding Centre.
