The Tulsa Zoo is an 84-acre (34 ha) zoo located in Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States. The Tulsa Zoo is owned by the City of Tulsa but since 2010 has been privately managed by Tulsa Zoo Management, Inc.[6][7][8] The zoo is located in Mohawk Park, one of the largest municipal parks in the United States. The zoo is run as a non-profit.

The zoo hosts a variety of exhibits, including the Lost Kingdom complex and its Valley of the Elephant enclosure.[9]

The Tulsa Zoo is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums through September 2028.[10]
