Explore the wonders of the natural world through play at the new Children's Zoo, opening in 2010!  This 2.5-acre, $8 million endeavor opens up a new world for kids to rediscover their natural surroundings.  Enter the Children's Zoo through the adult or kid-sized entry and greet a variety of brightly-colored macaws, climb through mysterious structures in the Secret Forest, have a splash in the Waterway complete with a waterfall, flamingos and interactive water elements or dig your own adventure in the Underground Zone and see creepy crawlies from around the world!  There's even more excitement at the Children's Zoo, including the return of the Zoo's popular ExpLorikeet Adventure, the Canopy where kids can swing like a monkey, the Meadow complete with rocks and open play area and Grandma's Porch where guests can relax.

Funded by the 1/8 of a cent sales tax approved by Oklahoma City voters in 1990 and private donation, the new Children's Zoo will be playing in Fall 2010.
