Join us this Saturday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., meet our 10,000 amazing animals, and savor some local flavor at Food Truck Frenzy. This event is FREE for members or included with daily admission!

Sometimes PR can be a lot of fun! We setup the interviews for the Oklahoma Aquarium's latest dive, where even the Mayor of Jenks donned a chainmail suit to swim with the Oklahoma Aquarium's collection of Bull Sharks – the largest in the world and the only collection in the Western Hemisphere.

The Oklahoma Aquarium's annual month-long Sharklahoma celebration wraps with our annual Dive With Bull Sharks & this year we have a very special guest joining our two winners! City of Jenks Mayor Cory Box will be diving in with our in-state & out-of-state winners! Check out this great article in the Southwest Ledger!
