Sea Turtle Experience

While the Oklahoma Aquarium is always refreshing existing exhibits, it is important for us to introduce new features to continue to draw new and repeat visitors. New exhibits also build on our educational mission in fun and exciting ways. We are currently seeking donations for the completion of a new exhibit to house our beautiful sea turtles, currently living behind-the-scenes.

Fish Friends

One of the most immediate and easy ways to help the Aquarium mission of education, is to support our Fish Friends Scholarship Fund. Your gift pays for under-served school groups to enjoy the educational benefit of a field trip to the Oklahoma Aquarium. Please click here to learn more about Fish Friends.
