 Oklahoma Trails  Explore 8-acres of the state’s natural beauty as you experience Oklahoma Trails, the newest addition to the Oklahoma City Zoo! This $10.3 million naturalistic habitat showcases over 800 animals native to the state while allowing visitors to enjoy the eleven distinct life zones unique to Oklahoma! Travel the suspended boardwalk and explore the grassy terrain of Black Mesa, the rolling hills of the Ozark Highlands, and feel the mist from the Zoo’s 25-ft. replica of Turner Falls located at Big Rivers! Oklahoma Trails demonstrates the state’s diverse collection of animals and plants, allowing visitors to get nose-to-nose with black bears, cougars, bobcats, river otters, southern flying squirrels, turkey vultures, western diamondback rattlesnakes, roadrunners, Mexican grey wolves and many more! Plus, visit Zoo favorites Will and Wiley as these two grizzly bears enjoy their new home in the Cross Timbers section of Oklahoma Trails! Located just south of Lion Overlook, Oklahoma Trails is the latest exhibit funded by a one-eighth of a cent sales tax approved by Oklahoma City citizens in 1990. The opening of this state-of-the-art exhibit fulfills a promise the Zoo made to taxpayers to focus on the ABCs (Apes, Bears and Cats) of the animal kingdom. Great EscApe opened in 1993, Cat Forest/Lion Overlook debuted in 1997 and bears are the highlight of Oklahoma Trails. | |
