Oklahoma Aquarium Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Oklahoma Aquarium
The Oklahoma Aquarium is a huge institution spanning 72,000 square feet, located close to Tulsa in the town of Jenks.
It boasts eight exhibits that showcase a mix of local and exotic marine and ocean wildlife, with a total of 100 different exhibits to peruse.
The Oklahoma Aquarium is famous for having the planet’s biggest bullhead shark collection, which can be found in the special Shark Adventure exhibit.
Of course, there are plenty of other fun things to see besides that.
A local aquatic exhibit showcases local marine life and an alligator snapping turtle that is 120 years old, and colorful creatures can be seen in sections like Eco Zone, Extreme Fishing, Hayes Family Ozark Stream, Polynesian Reef, and Sea Turtle Island.

Daycation at the Aquarium
The Oklahoma Aquarium is one of our favorite places to go, especially during these HOT Summer days! Stop in the Snack Bar and grab a snack and drink, we highly recommend the pretzels and mozzarella sticks :) There are SO many things to see and sometimes you even have to go back and see them more than once. This as our first time seeing the new sea turtle exhibit and it is amazing to be able to see stand so close and observe it. If you are brave enough, be sure and walk in the Shark Tunnel. You will have sharks swimming at you from all angles, even over your head! You can feed the stingrays and turtles. Don’t forget to stop by the Gift Shop before you leave!
