Bring grippy socks or buy them for $2.50. Adults that "don't play" can wear regular socks. There is a 5 and under area with a moving carousel and cozy coupe. Like all these places, it will get meh in a couple years but right now it's great!

Employees were polite. Children loved playing here. Would go back. Easy parking. Free parking.read more

Opening day for the season today. Grounds were mowed and…read morelots of people there. Not alot has changed since last visit except new nice restrooms. I maybe expected it to have grown in size or nicer surroundings. It's still pretty much a big field. Animals that they have are good. We held a Kangaroo and a monkey was running around putting on a show. An hour drive from OKC. They did have a nice kids play area with a slide. Update, we all ended up with a stomach bug the day after. Just please take hand wipes and then wash in restroom as leaving.

Had a great time. Loved little Echo the monkey. Be sure to bring water and sun block.read more

Elmer Thomas Park in Lawton, OK is not the most fascinating park ever…read more It was good enough for us back on July 26, 2025. My dog certainly appreciated it. We didn't stay here super long as I started getting anxious about the long drive back home. It's a public park. Free parking. There was a playground. A decent sized lake. Walking/running path. I stopped here mainly because the Comanche National Museum and Cultural Center is just a few hundred yards away. Go touch grass! Your brain and heart will thank you.

Unbeknownst to me, this attraction focuses on Oklahoma's aquatic life AND native wildlife. I thought it was just an aquarium, so I was surprised to see river otters, snakes, spiders and even a bobcat and coyote! We even saw Madagascar hissing cockroaches! I wasn't expecting to see all these other creatures at all, so it was a nice surprise. The butterfly exhibit was closed during my visit. Regarding the quails, we could either hand feed them or throw food in their direction. The staff said they'll come right up to us. They didn't. Other people in the enclosure had no luck either. There were walking trails outside of the main building, so wear comfortable clothing, footwear and bring sun protection. Admission: $12 per adult (with military discount) $12 per Youth (6-12 years old) Quail food: $1 Note: There is a credit card surcharge! 69 photos/vids should be included, although I'm pretty sure Yelp won't post them all with my review.

He was extremely patient with our group and answered a ton of questions! We then got to watch the blue dart frogs get fed along with a shirt presentation and Q&A session.

We found this while planning our family trip. This safari has been here for 21 years. The animals…read moreall have large roaming areas and are well taken care of. Many of the staff members live on the facility. We stayed in a safari but it was $150 plus another $100 for the VIP tour for a family of 5. The price also included having access to the zoo until they closed. Cons: there are no restrooms in the huts. It's about a 200 ft walk. There is no shower either and there is only one on site by the bathroom. They do not look well taken care or smell great at all. We avoided them. We stayed in treehouse #2 and when we walked around you could feel and see the entire hut move. It was scary. There's only a dvd player so bring movies. The smell inside main office is awful and I gagged many times but I am pregnant so my smell I feel like is more intense. Keep in mind hut one and two are over the tigers the others are over bears. Pros: for the price you do get a lot such as access to the zoo, the animal encounter, tour and feeding, they had a large bonfire one night, offer breakfast snacks the morning before tour which are store bought.

The owner was a really cool guy, offered us suggestions on where to check out on the remainder of our trip. Our tour guide was Emily. She was so knowledgeable and friendly. This was definitely a unique experience. We spent about 3 hours at the park, I do wish the gift shop portion had a few more offerings. They had a baby white lion who was so cute and a young black panther who was so playful. We really enjoyed interacting with NiNi the hyena. I truly enjoyed this experience.

It had gotten rundown after all wood only last so long. They voted to refurbished the park and this is what they ended up with. This is nice as well almost as nice lake Helen Park. I love all of the seating, has canopies over it for people to sit and they've got all kinds of equipment. The kids can play on climb on and explore. Young kids to old people are hanging out here. It's for everyone. There's just so much nice wide open room that you don't feel crowded here there's trash cans by everything where you could throw your trash away after you're done snacking or drinking or whatever you happen to be doing at the time but the nice thing about the Kidzone is it so wide open you can see everything now I cannot wait until summer to see how the little miniature splash pad is.

They have about 6 inflatable things for the kids to play on. Mask are not required, but my kids and I had ours on. Kids were running wild, even had one strange kid (parents unknown) about 6 years old came up and kept asking my niece for hugs with no mask. We left earlier than expected because the kid just followed my niece where ever she went. There were also a few other kids, (parents unknown) that were actually putting their bodies into the basketball hops. The chairs/couches have stains all over them, and I can't say they look like they clean on a regular basis. All and all, it was something to do. Due to unsupervised kids everywhere, the lack of cleanliness and no mask, i had to rate it a 1. You are welcome to check it out, it maybe right up your alley.

The bison are truly breathtaking. If you get the chance to see them sit and watch for a while. We were able to do some hiking and picnic. There's also camping and fishing and boating, but we didn't do any of that on this trip. We picked up lots of pamphlets at the visitor center, so we can come back again and try again. They have lots of help at the visitor center and are glad to answer questions. They also have a great little gift shop if you want to pick up a treasure or a Momento for your visit. We took the time to take the scenic drive up to the top of Mount Scott walked around, took lots of photos. We met people from all over the world up there. It was pretty amazing. I can't wait to go back and do some more hiking. We did stop on the side of the road to look at the Longhorn cattle. There are some of the original stock from back on the turn-of-the-century or release from the bloodline it's pretty neat all these things that you can do while you're here visiting I highly recommend it. It's a great adventure not just for families but just solo if you wanna get out and explore.
