Oklahoma City Zoo & Botanical Garden - longstanding cultural institution

The Oklahoma City Zoo & Botanical Garden opened in 1902 and is one of the oldest continually operating zoos in the region. It is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and operates conservation and education programs alongside its animal and plant collections. The zoo's location within city limits and its long history have made it a major cultural and recreational institution in Oklahoma City.
