I went to the Oklahoma Aquarium and honestly had a great time. The whole place is really clean and well put together, and the exhibits are super cool with a huge variety of fish and sea life. The shark tunnel was definitely the highlight walking through while sharks swim all around you is such an awesome experience. What made it even better was how much my 2 year old loved it. He was completely into all the fish and didn't want to leave. After we finished going through the aquarium, there's a nice playground outside that he had a blast on, which was the perfect way to wrap up the visit. read more

Outstanding! My wife and I love visiting aquariums on any trip we take and this one did not disappoint. I saw a number of species I haven't seen in other aquariums. There's a nice variety here and perhaps the main attraction, the shark area, is worth the trip alone. Fun for the whole family and a nice gift shop too. read more

First time coming to this aquarium and it was so very well put together and clean! My daughter had a blast being able to feed the turtles and the sting rays! The bathrooms were clean and the food court had alot of choices of different food and treats! We cant wait to come back and visit! read more

Aquariums are a must see attraction for me on any trip. This aquarium was large enough to see exotic and local fish. The fish were huge! The experience was larger, don't run off too fast and miss the large sea turtle and octopus. Fun for the whole family and the gift shop wasn't bad either. They offer military discount so that was a plus for the pricing. There's enough room for the large crowds to maneuver through each space. read more

Tulsa has an awesome aquarium, you'd never know it is far from any ocean. When you first enter, you come face to face with beautiful and graceful jelly fish. What a great start! The shark exhibit is not to be missed as you can walk among the sharks through a clear tunnel. There are several exhibits for freshwater Oklahoma fish species and they are amazing. Plenty of space around the exhibits so you never feel crowded. Lots of free parking out front. The food court is a bit disappointing, mostly featuring foods that kids like but not necessarily healthy for them. Great place for a party group. read more

Spent a couple hours here and loved it! We were able to touch stingrays and jellyfish. You could feed the turtles but we just watched kids have their fun. There is a carousel ride immediately upon entering the aquarium and it was very cute for kids. Our favorite was watching a beaver eat his grapes. They also have a virtual reality ride where you dive with sharks in the Bahamas : $10.00 for 7 minutes - very cool experience. There is also a little cafe for refreshments and the restroom was very clean. Nice afternoon walking around in the cool AC, and fun for adults and children. read more

Oklahoma Aquarium - They had so many amazing species of sea creatures and lasty they had a shark tunnel that you can walk through. - Aquariums Near Me - Jenks, Oklahoma

Would be 5 stars but EXPENSIVE. Overall the staff are very friendly and the facility is nice and clean. We love to visit every year or two to see the aquarium... it takes about and hour and a half to slowly walk through once if you take your time. That being said the price to get in is a little steep especially for the kids and then as soon as you walk through doors is this beautiful merry go round that charges for rides (the kids love it) when you've just paid almost $20 per kid to get them in the doors. No food or drinks allowed from outside and their vending machines wan $3.00 for a drink. Then the gift shop is OUTRAGEOUSLY priced. I mean come on guys, yeah parents will pay it for their kids but could afford to visit more if the prices weren't this crazy. Again love this place and the staff are great but they need to calm down on the prices. read more

We had such a fun time and I was super impressed! I had not been to this aquarium in years and it has really gotten great. We had 2 adults and 5 kids 5 years old and younger with us. They loved it. It was very interactive and great for all ages. We ate lunch there and the food was surprisingly really good. We had hamburgers and grilled cheese sandwiches. Can't wait to go again soon! read more

Daughter and I enjoyed the aquarium while on a trip to Catoosa. We came on a Saturday afternoon around 4pm and it wasn't too crowded. In case you don't read much further - you can enjoy this whole aquarium in 1.5-2 hours at a leisurely pace. This is a large one floor aquarium with one main hallway and then rooms into each of the attractions. Lots of room to walk and hang around. The attractions were well kept and clean. The animals were all awake and pretty frisky the day we went. I enjoyed the interactive activities like petting a star fish and watching the beavers and otters play. Some of the tanks had cool backgrounds that looked like divers or a ship area with shrimp in it. Our favorite part was the OK native area. The otters really put on a show chasing each other around, sliding on their slide and having a ton of fun. It was the cutest thing ever! The beaver also had a lot of fun while we were there swimming and watching the humans. The shark tunnel was pretty cool as well, but honestly there were quite a few screaming children in there and that ruined the experience for me. Also I felt bad for the sharks... there are multiple signs saying "please be quiet, the sharks are sensitive to sound" and parent were letting children run around, scream - yes literally screaming- and bang on the shark tanks. Disappointing. In other aquariums I've been with shark tunnels they typically have an employee that minds the tunnel and I think that prevents some of this type of behavior. The pricing here is VERY reasonable. One of the cheaper aquariums I've been in for the amount of attractions. Definitely add this on your list as a place to visit in Tulsa. read more

save your money it's really not that great-actually kind of sad. I wish my husband could bring in my child without me having to check them in and i wish the octopus had more space :( read more

Had a great time here. Not too pricey to get in and lots to look at. The giant sea turtle was fantastic. It just chilled there letting everyone take pictures with it! Lots of petting areas and areas where you could feed certain critters. The highlight for me is the shark area, where there's an underwater tunnel you can go through and watch the sharks swim around you. I love the decorations around here too. Very stylized. read more

LOVED this aquarium !!! I'm so impressed with it !! Coming from California I honestly didn't know what to expect from an aquarium in Oklahoma because it's technically so far from the ocean. I was wrong. They had such a great selection ! They also have a raccoon, beavers ( first time seeing a beaver in person ), otters an alligator ! It was really great. Jellyfish are my favorite and they had a good amount of those too. The Waterdog a were so cute. First time in real life seeing those as well ! So glad I went. I think the highlight was being able to touch the baby sharks. That was a first me !! Great aquarium !! I'll be getting a membership soon. read more

We haven't been to the aquarium since our kids were little. Figured it's been about 15ish years or so and they've really added a lot since we've been! Pleasantly surprised, we bought a membership so we'll definitely be back soon. I think the beaver enclosure was one of my favs and my husband loved the shark tunnel. read more

The aquarium was nice but I feel a little too pricey for the size of the aquarium. Glad we went but wouldn't go again

I wish this wasn't so pricey because I have an a family of six to take in. It's ridiculous lol but it's really a great aquarium! It's very widely spaced so there's plenty of room to walk through and you don't feel like you're being crowded out. Tons and tons of great exhibits! We loved watching the seahorses and the sharks, but our favorite was the logger head turtle! He was so interactive and kept coming in close for great pictures. I would highly recommend a trip if you've never been! Or, maybe a return trip if you have been! read more

Largest collection of bull sharks in the western hemisphere! To view them fully, one must enter an eerie enclosed tunnel and be quiet, as they don't like loud noise, so it feels almost like you're in the water with them. I've never had that experience in any other walk-through tunnel, and I admit it was a little unnerving. I felt almost bad for the sharks--there are so many, and the tank they're in has nothing other than the sharks and water. Doesn't seem very interesting for them, and some of the sharks even had growths on their fins. I like being able to observe these predators in a safe environment, but at what cost to them? I walked through the entire aquarium in about an hour and a half, and that was with lingering at the sharks and some other exhibits. The gift shop has some cute items, and the staff there are helpful. I didn't see any other staff except the person admitting entrants. read more

Taking my son to the aquarium is always a great time. I will encourage you to avoid when there are school field trips--and they are frequent!! But when there isn't a school field trip it feels like we have the whole place to ourselves! We always experience something new at this aquarium. At least one of the fish/animals act new each time. Highly recommend for all ages! read more

What an amazing place to visit here in Oklahoma... perfect family friendly place for kids, elderly, and is wheelchair accessible. Plenty to see and experience here... great displays, on site food, plenty of room to explore, hands on area, gift shop, outside sitting area overlooking the river, outside pond to enjoy walking around... a jewel for Tulsa County to have! read more

This is a must see for anyone in the Tulsa area! The Oklahoma Aquarium is hands down the most amazing aquarium I have ever visited. There are so many fish that you will see that you have never heard of or thought you've the opportunity to see. The aquarium is super clean and you can tell the tanks are well maintained. All of the employees I encountered were very friendly and happy to answer any questions I had. There is the amazing opportunity to feed the sea turtles and stingrays. The shark tunnel is my favorite exhibit. There is no experience like walking through a tunnel surrounded by sharks. The aquarium has a cute cafe with a variety of different snacks, drinks and meals. The gift shop has a huge variety of toys, candy, shirts, glasses etc. There is a big, really nice playground located outside the cafe. You and your family are guaranteed to have a wonderful experience! read more

Fun time. Admittedly, I'm not a huge aquarium kinda person, but how can you live so close to one and not go? Especially if you've got a toddler. Great exhibits and I like the flow and transition from one section to another. I do wish that the aquarium had more space than just a relatively small part of the shark tank that had the walk-through tank. read more

And I have lost all respect for the aquarium. "Spring Break" pricing in effect. Expect to pay double for everything... way to exploit people Oklahoma Aquarium. Already increased membership pricing exponentially and now this. Also, new signs upon entry say "no outside food or beverages." This is definitely a change but also must not apply to schools or daycare groups bc they're still doing their own picnic lunches outside. So which is it?!? read more

High marks. Amazing for a landlocked state. Shark tunnels are awesome. The sea turtle is very personable.

My family and I love this aquarium! It is small but there are many experiences to touch the animals and feed them. The aquarium takes about an hour or so and is good for younger kids as well as adults who enjoy learning about animals! Can't wait to come back! read more

A sad and very soggy museum of slowly dying fish and sea life. Very sad and poorly kept. The staff here doesn't seem competent. The tanks are covered in mold and mildew, a soggy damp smell permeates the air along with child barf. Crowds of unruly kids all over, throwing trash into the touch pools. There are a lot of tripping hazards with mismatched flooring and high spots with no labels. The Cafe is crazy overpriced, like movie theater level prices... bring snacks. They are so over worked no one cares if you eat a whole packed lunch in the shark tank... apparently. read more

The Oklahoma Aquarium is a magical place not just for kids, but adults alike!!! And although it's cold outside, it's climate-controlled inside, so there's no need to bundle! Your happy experience begins in the lobby with one of the most beautiful carousels and festive holiday decor! See my pics..The Aquarium boasts limitless underwater species along with bull sharks! It's a must-see as they are the only aquarium in the western hemisphere to host these aggressive predators! We spent about 90 min. strolling through this underwater adventure and were in Aww of their sea world collection - from sharks-stingrays-otters-loggerhead turtles-electric eels- thousands of fish.....It's truly a hidden gem located on Jenks, OK! You will thank me later! We loved it so much that we plan to buy season passes! * Wheelchairs and strollers are available to rent in the gift shop. read more

Jaws in front of a shark tank! I went to the aquarium to see a screening of Jaws, and it was incredible! Watching sharks on a projector while seeing sharks swim around behind it was an experience like none other. Afterwards, my friend and I went to see the rest of the exhibits and had a lovely time. read more

It's tough for me to rate this as a five star aquarium as I grew up going to the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago which had everything from Beluga whales to coelacanth and I wanted to be a marine biologist growing up. For Oklahoma, this is not as big, but definitely a nice collection of aquatic life from around the world. As a whole this is a super family friendly place! Exhibits are wonderful and easy to understand. Interactive activities were available both free and feedings for additional fee. Self led discovery opportunities are present, educational and fun. A bit pricey...$18 for adults, $13 for kids so for a family of 4 you are looking at dropping a cool $62...ouch. A family pass is $140, so three visits and it's paid for! We did the family pass to encourage ourselves to visit more often. The negatives...I would have liked to see a more complete display of local aquatic life...lots of species missed. I would like to have seen some educational docents or guides providing additional educational opportunities. Staff was masked up and there were plenty of stations with hand sanitizer. Visitors, however, did not wear masks as a rule and did not socially distance, understandable with little ones that just want to see...so you need to protect yourself...if you go. read more

I loved this aquarium! When you pay to get in they give you the option to donate to get a fun sticker! Mine read, "honk 8 times if you like octopuses". They had other fun ones I'm definitely going to get when I visit again. I am a little sad they don't allow m a student discount and it did appear a bit pricey! Though the experience was worth it in the end! There were tons of fish, a sea turtle, an octopus (who i couldn't find), lots of sharks, and lots of other unique fish. I loved the shark area and all of the exotic fish. It was quite a unique experience! read more

It's rainy outside so it's a great day for a indoor activity. The Oklahoma aquarium is a great attraction in Jenks Oklahoma. Admission can be high for a large family but they do have membership packages. I was able to use my military discount which made my ticket significantly cheaper. The aquarium is a great place for young children as they have a lot of displays to touch fish, eels and what not. I'm not much of a tactile person so seeing the beautiful fish was enough for me. The shark display is great as you walk thru a tunnel. Personally I could do this exhibit in 30minutes maybe longer if I had a margarita!! Young kids would definitely love the aquarium. Due to Covid many of the feeding times where canceled as to not attract large crowds. Overall a great outing read more

Beyond expectations. I was in Tulsa for business and brought my husband and grown children with me so that I could spend time with them as well. Finding things to do each afternoon was tough. My daughter chose to take a chance on the aquarium thinking it couldn't compete with the ones back home along the gulf coast. It was fantastic! Four adults thoroughly enjoyed it! Worth the money and we felt young again. My daughter especially loved it. We saw marine life that we hadn't before! It wasn't too crowded either. We truly had a fantastic time and all four took some very cool pictures and videos. Definitely a must do! read more

Nice place. Felt it was an overpriced for the location, quality, and interaction. They have a feed the turtles and sting ray section that cost $5 for each container. The turtles food was 3 shavings of carrots and the stingrays were 3 shrimp. Food section has a pretty good selection. There is a nice playground out back. It was clean and a quick walk through. read more
