Oklahoma Aquarium
The Aquarium is gaining a reputation as a top destination
spot in northeast Oklahoma. The Aquarium, located along the bank
of the Arkansas River in Jenks, features 200 exhibits, including
a 400,000-gallon shark tank. The facility also showcases many of
Oklahoma's native fish species.
To complement its recreational appeal, the Aquarium also has
five "wet labs" where students can conduct freshwater and marine
experiments. As a whole, the facility functions as a learning
laboratory for students of all ages. Along with a wide array of
natural exhibits, the Aquarium will offer plenty of thrills,
including a shark viewing dome that puts visitors within inches
of these majestic fish.
The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation’s Tulsa-area
offices are located at the Aquarium complex.
“We encourage everyone who comes by the Aquarium to stop in and
see us,” said Colin Berg, education supervisor for the Oklahoma
Department of Wildlife Conservation. “Visitors can stop in and
pick up a Hunting Guide, buy a fishing license or find out about
other Department services.”
Oklahoma Aquarium offers discounts for hunters and anglers
It pays to be a hunter or angler - at least it does at the
Oklahoma Aquarium in Jenks.
Hunters and anglers who show their Oklahoma hunting or fishing
license at the Aquarium will receive $2 off the regular
admission price every Tuesday through the end of the year.
