Just like a day at the zoo, the new Tulsa Zoo website is all about exploration. A clear, inviting homepage quickly answers the big questions of hours, tickets, and membership while spotlighting seasonal events and featured animals. Visitors land on a layout that feels bright and energetic but still organized, with primary navigation that mirrors how guests actually plan a visit.

The site structure makes it simple to move from planning to discovery. Main sections for Visit, Learn, About, and Get Involved keep things intuitive, while quick access to tickets, membership, and Plan Your Visit sits right where users expect it. Content is broken into friendly, scannable blocks so families, teachers, and members can each get to their next step without hunting for it.

Visually, the design leans into the character of the zoo itself. Photography of animals, habitats, and guests gives the site a playful, immersive feel, while clean typography and plenty of breathing room keep information easy to read. Pops of color highlight calls to action and important messages, reinforcing the brand without overwhelming the experience.

On mobile, the website feels purpose built for guests already on the go. Sticky access to essentials like tickets, membership, and visit planning keeps important tools at everyone’s fingertips, and the responsive layout ensures key info is only a tap away. From first scroll to final share, the redesigned Tulsa Zoo site supports its mission to connect, care, and advocate for wildlife and the people who love them.
