OKLAHOMA CITY ZOO OKC’s innovative approach to zoo design continues to improve the lives of zoo animals and the experience of guests. Oklahoma City has spent millions of dollars building new habitats for the zoo’s wide variety of species, creating a livable environment that is as like their native habitat as possible. The newest installment is Expedition Africa (opening Summer 2023), which features a new, state-of-the-art giraffe viewing area and vista spaces for common elands, flamingos, gazelles, honey badgers, meerkats, mongooses, naked mole rats, okapis, ostriches, wildebeests and zebras.
OKLAHOMA CONTEMPORARY The beautiful Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center on the north edge of Automobile Alley certainly displays plenty of art, but the mission of Oklahoma Contemporary has always been multifaceted. Visitors can find free, groundbreaking exhibitions from international, national and local artists, plus large-scale, public sculptures and installations in Campbell Art Park. Programs include musical and theatrical performances, artist talks and demonstrations, workshops and more. Enjoy hands-on experiences in the Learning Gallery, Studio School or youth camp. Round out a visit by eating in the café or shopping in their uniquely curated store.
