oklahoma aquarium

If you love Sea World then you'll love this place. The price is kinda mind blowing, but the food erea is not what I would have expected though! Fun for kids of all ages!

They had a good variety of fish to see and plenty of places to sit and view the different tanks. The part I enjoyed the most was the HUGE tank of sharks that you could walk through and be surrounded by sharks as if they were right there with you. They had several areas where you feel a variety of waterlife. They even had a petting area for sharks and stingraysThe electric eel and piranhas were interesting as well.

This is definitely worth experiencing. It is very clean and well kept place to take kids for a fun adventure. They have seahorses and lots of neat wildlife to interact with. Our students were allowed to interact with certain sea life and it was thoroughly enjoyed. Not much food to purchase but lots of souvenirs can be purchased.

It's February and cold & there are kiddos to entertain in a town you're not accustomed to. Where to go? We decided to give the Aquarium just outside of Tulsa a try. What a GREAT surprise! Lots of hands-on for the kids. There's a great shark tank tunnel to walk through. Then entire place was very clean--including all the water tanks. It will be on my list to see again next time we go through Tulsa. (We didn't go into the snack bar, so I can't remark on it.)

It's small but well done aquarium. Blend of sea life (things you've seen before) and wildlife indigenous to the region (things you may not have seen). Oddly enough, it's the only place in the U.S. where seahorses will breed. Go figure. It's been longer than a year since I've been there. Tripadvisor doesn't let you select things older then that.

Great aquarium! A large variety of aquatic animals. The bull shark tank is the largest in North America. Only problem with the Aquarium is the snack bar.

Being in the middle of the country reduces the chance to enjoy the beach or sea life. The Oklahoma aquarium has a good selection of sea life and the largest bull shark collection in the nation. Kind of small for the price but its about location. Very easy access, well maintained, and friendly staff.

There are a lot of reviews on this place. Considering we are a landlocked state, this attraction is quite good. There are a variety of exhibits here from local OK fishes, including some state record fish. Exhibits that show they types of fish in our lakes, reservoirs and rivers. And there is a small but interesting exhibit with beaver, racoon and otters, which you would not NORMALLY think would be at an aquarium.They have nice oceanic displays from invertebrates (jelly fish) to a good rendition of a coral reef. Also are expanding to have a sea turtle display that is under construction. There are the obligatory touch and feel tanks for kids (for both rays, stingers removed obviously) to starfish and mermaid purses (shark egg pouches). And during certain times (though they are careful to limit overfeeding especially on the busy weekend times) you can also feed rays, fish and turtles.The only thing I do not really enjoy or wish they would update is the shark exhibit. I know they have one of the greatest captive number of bull and sand sharks and the walk through observatory lets you see the animals close up. But after seeing some of the other displays for sharks in other aquariums, I wish they would modernize or update the tank to look more natural. They animals HAVE to be bored in that tank. It's just a monotonous black/dark tank with NO other scenery than the plexiglass. Surely a more lifelike, normal aquatic environment would be possible. I mean you can really see the sharks up close but to call it a more natural habitat like some of the other displays they do have would be a stretch.Nice, well stocked gift shop. Toys and items probably a little skewed toward younger crowd but still a nice gift shop. And they have a pretty large snack bar area. Would recommend this as a must see attraction in Oklahoma if you get the chance.

Largest collection of Bull Sharks in the nation. Great habitat for beavers and otters, my favorite because you can actually see inside the Beavers den via video camera.

My husband surprised me with this trip as part of my birthday week celebration, since we try to see Oklahoma. It was not crowded and we could take our time. Loved the variety of different fish and coral exhibits. The tanks were extremely clean and was able to see one of the tanks being cleaned from above. Lots of touch tanks and the signs by each exhibit was very interesting. It did smell very fishy inside, which in winter was surprising... Might understand in the hot summer. And as many of the other reviews stated it was pricey, however based on what it probably requires to maintain the tanks, maybe a suitable ticket price. If you want to see the feeding of the fish, the morning is not the best time to attend... Most of the feeding times start in the afternoon.

For being in the heartland, this aquarium is a must see ! Their collection of fish, sharks and other sea creatures is top notch. This place is always busy and attests to the quality of their facility. You can even rent rooms for your get togethers -- whether it be a company party, wedding reception or birthday party.

It is definitely the best and most pleasing selection of aquatics in Oklahoma. It is a little pricey. The price for my family to get in once was almost the same a a year membership, so we got the membership. We live close and used it all the time, so it was really worth it. Beautiful displays and wonderful selection of life. They have had sea turtles in there facilities since opening over 10 years ago but the last I had gone, they still didn't have them out for the public. Construction seems to move very slowly and is happening every time I have gone.

A little pricey but the kids love it! Was large enough to take an hour or so to see it all and had several interesting species. Staff knowledgeable and friendly.

This was our first time visiting and we loved it. If your ever in Oklahoma this is a must stop shop. The price for adults are a little high and for my 3 year old I had to pay 11.95 I thought that was to much. But Sharks were amazing the tanks were so clean it was a great experience

I took my youngest daughter on a surprise trip to the Jenks Aquarium and was pleased to find that the offer a discount for Tulsa Zoo members ($2.00 of each ticket). It was still $25.91 (tax included) for one adult & one child ticket so it is rather costly. It is definitely worth the price! There are numerous touch tanks where you are able touch everything from starfish & ghost shrimp to stingrays & baby sharks. The displays are all well maintained and very clean. We were able to watch the divers feed the fish in the Coral Reef and that was pretty neat. They really interacted with the younger children. The shark exhibit/tunnel is amazing. You walk in the tunnel and can see sharks swimming on both sides of you as well as overhead. We really enjoyed all the exhibits and look forward to going back when the sea turtle habitat us complete!
