Tulsa, Oklahoma (April, 2010)

 
It is located off of the Creek Turnpike in Jenks, a suburb south of Tulsa.  It is located right on the banks of the Arkansas River but does not utilize the river in any of its exhibits.

Admission was not bad at $14 and is right in line with aquariums of its level.  I'd compare it to the Texas State Aquarium or Florida Aquarium.  Definitely not a top 10 aquarium or a blow-your-socks-off attraction, but sized appropriately for the Tulsa market and a nice asset to local residents.

I will give them credit--their website had lots of good information on it and helped us decide it was worth the time to go.  All in all we spent about 2 hours exploring and could have probably spent a little longer.
