Cold Weather Safari Camp at the OKC Zoo

Friday, January 8th from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.

It’s warm and toasty inside the Oklahoma City Zoo’s Conservation Education Center and starting at 8:00 am Friday, January 8th, it’s also a quick solution for working parents whose kids are out of school due to the severe cold. A special Cold Weather Safari Camp will be held for a cost of only $20 per child.  Pick-up is available till 5:30 pm and early drop-off begins at 7:30 am.

This fee is discounted over 50% from our regularly scheduled day camps as a community service during this after-holiday, unexpected cold weather snap. This means parents can make it to work in a timely manner and have a safe, fun, educational place for their children for $3 or less per hour. Age appropriate activities may include live animal encounters, crafts, stories, songs, discovery stations and much more! Children are asked to bring a sack lunch. A morning and afternoon snack will be provided. Call ahead registration is recommended, but not required.

Attendance is limited to the first 100 children between the ages of 4 and 15.  Call (405) 425-0218 for registration or information.
