Extended Hours
Dog Days of Summer
Thursdays in August
The Garden stays open late every Thursday in August — and the whole family is invited, four legs included.
Stroll the grounds in the cooler hours of the evening, catch the light as it drops behind the trees, and stop by for a pup cup (whipped cream and a milk bone) for your dog.
Dogs must remain on a non-retractable leash at all times, and waste must be properly disposed of. Limit two dogs per household.
FREE with Garden admission.
Zoo 2 U

6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
The Tulsa Zoo is coming to the Garden.
Meet animal ambassadors up close and hear from Zoo staff about how they live, what they eat, and how we can help protect them. One hour, all ages, and a great excuse to stay a little later.
Part of our Thursday extended hours. FREE with Garden admission.
