TULSA ZOO

For 90 years, the Tulsa Zoo has inspired a passion for wildlife as a fun and affordable destination where families can connect. Since 1928, the Tulsa Zoo is home to more than 400 species. Many of the animals in zoo care are rare and endangered in the wild. Visit immersive exhibits, like the Mary K. Chapman Rhino Reserve; learn more about your favorite animals during daily keeper chats; or enjoy the scenery during a round-trip on the train.

GREENWOOD RISING

“Greenwood Rising educates Oklahomans and Americans about the Race Massacre and its impact on the state and Nation; remember its victims and survivors and create an environment conducive to fostering sustainable entrepreneurship and heritage tourism within the Greenwood District specifically, and North Tulsa generally.”

CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE

A sound phenomenon happens at an unassuming concrete circle of bricks which you walk into the middle of the circle, say a word or two, and maybe you’ll hear what all the fuss is about. Any sound you make in the circle is echoed back to you – only much louder – and any voices outside the circle,  are distorted to the person on the inside.  The Center of the Universe is sharply punctuated by the impressive “Artificial Cloud” which looms over the circle. Crafted by Warm Springs Apache artist Bob Haozous, “Artificial Cloud” is a highly symbolic work about how humanity continually allows technology to ruin our relationship with nature.
