Oklahoma Aquarium

This aquarium was an exciting place to take the kids during Spring Break. If only we could slow them down once we got in there. It's so exciting they want to move through the exhibits fast.
The exhibits were clean and some had interactive sections that the kids were able to crawl/ climb into for an up-close view of the fish. The shark tank glass tunnel was much larger than it looked to be online. I could have sat in there for a while watching the sharks swim overhead. It's impressive! We loved touching the crabs, shrimp, starfish, sharks, and stingrays! The hands-on jellyfish exhibit was closed during the time we were there but the kids didn't seem to mind. The sea otters were very playful which made the kids cheer with excitement! The octopus had stuck himself to his glass aquarium wall which was pretty cool to see all his suction cups.
The gift shop had lots of neat souvenirs, shirts, cups, and toys. They were pretty pricey which is typical for a place like this.
The playground outside was a big hit for the kids as they were able to run and play on the toys as well as the indoor Carousel.
There was a STEM craft time going on near the Cafe section of the building, however, we did not make it into see what they were making.
We look forward to bringing friends back in the future.

We had a wonderful time, there was plenty to see and do, we saw a huge variety of fish and other animals, having an opportunity to learn about each one. Be sure to visit the shark tunnel and watch sharks swimming around and even above your head, it's really neat 😃
The reason that I cannot give them a five star review is because of the gift shop prices are outrageous and out of line, it's like buying a $5 coffee mug with their name on it for $15 to $20 or spending $10 on a $2 magnet that has their name on it.

Best interactive experiences at well designed high quality animal exhibits! The animals look healthy and stimulated. One of my favorites was the shark tunnel. Fun lookout spots for kids; stations to touch sting rays, starfish, shrimps etc; gorgeous full wall displays of coral reef and tropical fish; playful otters habitat with water slide; open exhibits for little turtles under heat lamps; fun photo ops; clean restrooms; variety in gift shop. “Small” to take your time without being rushed through a busy crowd, manageable with young kids. Try a morning trip, and/or a night visit to experience all the animals at their most active hours. Membership pays for itself after 2 visits for a family of 5, plus special discounts for locals- and you’re supporting all the wonderful animals. We came in the evening and enjoyed the very active nocturnal animals like beavers and otters, but could tell the sting rays were tired at the extended touch time. Would love to visit again to experience the carousel, outdoor playground, feeding times, and animals we missed from being off exhibit like the sea turtle and giant octopus. Great job, we loved our visit!!

A great way to spend the day! We did the shark and sea turtle experience and it was a fun opportunity to go behind the scenes and meet these beautiful creatures close-up. The aquarium is not very big, so you can definitely get through everything (including 1 experience) in about 3 hours. Bathrooms were very clean, nice gift shop and a park for the little ones. Make sure you know all the feeding times to make the most of your experience. Enjoy!

I took my eleven year old son and we both loved it. His favorite exhibit was the otters and I loved the sea turtle. The feeding experiences were a little pricey ($5 for three carrot peels for the turtles) but the exhibits were beautiful. They also have a top notch playground outside.
