Northwest Arkansas has so many great attractions and new ones are on the horizon, but we don’t have a zoo. We do have a couple exotic animal habitats that my family frequent and will be featured on here at some point. Some of my friends who relocated here from other parts of the country have mentioned to me that they really miss having a zoo handy. The closest zoo is in Tulsa, OK which is only two hours away. That is just a hop, skip, and a jump away! At least twice a year, we swing over for a day trip to the zoo.
Zoo membership is a great option even if you are from Northwest Arkansas. It is the cost of two visits plus discounts throughout the park. There were other great perks to membership. Check out the details here.
Last Friday, we took our spring day trip to Tulsa. Not only did we visit the zoo, we ate at our favorite restaurant, caught a movie so the kids could have some down time, did a little shopping, and of course we grabbed some coffee. 🙂

Loved this new exhibit. We were too tired to visit it last time, so we started with it this time.
She had to wear her flamingo shirt because she knew she would be seeing her favorite bird!
What difference in the past 18 months!
Wore this boy out! His first trip to the zoo without a stroller.

Awww! My special treat of the day! Rocket Brothers Coffee. They have two locations in Tulsa.
