OKC Zoo

I miss the event space under the aquarium. It was cool holding an event where you could see dolphins through the windows.

I feel bad for them. I personally believe zoos can be (although not always are) good for education and conservation, as well as helping endangered species. There is so much pressure from certain groups attacking zoos though. It is becoming a political minefield.

I don't think the OKC Zoo is really subject to those pressures except for when they take on an animal from someplace like Seattle. The recent issue was that Shadid had proposed redirecting the Zoo's sales tax take to police and fire.

That was a cool space. Are they ever going to redo Aquaticus?

The viewports were cool, however, the building definitely needs a lot of work. A friend had a wedding reception there. It was humid and the HVAC system was dripping on to the floor. It was at night so you of course couldn't see into the sea lion pool which kind of defeated the purposes of the room. The price was reasonable though.
