Medicine Park Aquarium and Natural Sciences Center

This is a nice little aquarium. There are a good number of fish here, but just keep your expectations appropriate for the area. Outside there are turtles, otters, snakes, and butterflies as well. We took some visitors here and they really enjoyed it.

My kids (7 and 8) LOVED this place! We went on a Saturday afternoon. It wasn’t crowded so the kids could actually see the animals. The staff was patient and answered every single one of the 98,288,283 questions my son had. (Exaggeration but it felt like he asked that many!)

As an added perk, the surrounding scenery was beautiful.

A little oasis in the dry Oklahoma countryside! We stopped in after exploring Mount Scott. The staff were all really friendly and knowledgeable. There isn't ton to see, but it's nice to not be overwhelmed with too much to see. The otters are so cute! You can spend an hour or two easy! They have a nice little gift shop too!

This place is quite a hidden gem. So many creatures to see and the otters were just adorable. Took my 2 grown boys and they really enjoyed it too. We got the military discount which was very nice!

Great place! Indoor and outdoor exhibits. They support local schools with field trips. Worth the visit.

Took my friend out since he's never been, we had a great time got to feed the turtles, quail and butterflies. The otters were adorable and I love that they're named Sam and Dean from Supernatural. It's really cool to see all the different fish that you can find here in Oklahoma.

Absolutely loved this place workers were super friendly and interactive with the animals! :)

This is a beautiful little aquarium tucked away in Medicine Park. It was not crowded at all when I took my family. We spent the afternoon enjoying the animals. It was fun watching the Otters get a snack. My grandson loved feeding the little quails.

It was awesome! We spent 2 hours there looking at animals native to Oklahoma! My little kids loves digging for dinosaurs the best. Friendly, knowledgeable staff!

It's a delightful aquarium that is unexpectedly clean and fun! The staff were helpful and friendly and the fish were a delight to watch. Information on the exhibits was easy to find and read, and the outdoor activities (like feeding the quail) was a delight, even in the cold weather.

Most of their animals are on the smaller side, but they did a good job showing off their collection and making the visit loads of fun for my family and I. The baby otter was just a joy!

If you are in the medicine park area I highly recommend. Very reasonably priced. You can watch the river otters eat at dedicated times. You can feed quail and turtles. Have a very large assortment of fish.

For the cost, it’s a fairly decent but small aquarium. Almost every tank was full and lively overall it was a great experience. The basis is native fish to our state of Oklahoma with a few exotic visitors thrown in ! The best part is the $1 waters and gatorades and then of course the bigger reptiles and the river otters towards the end of your visit IMO. There’s also a few super interesting animals sprinkled within your visit like a huge python,the giant Albino Cat Fish and an about 100 lb. alligator snapping turtle. The sculptures they have scattered around the property were also fun and interesting art. If your in Medicine Park would recommend a visit, good time for couples or families with children even really little ones as well. Probably about 1 to 2 hour maximum time to experience the whole thing.

Just visited with my family over the weekend. My 20 month old nephew LOVED the exhibits, we watched the otter and alligator gar feedings. The employees there were knowledgeable and considerate of both the animals and us, will be going back!

I have never been here it was really nice I really liked looking at the fish,and 1 of my grandsons loved the fish he is 2 ,and he loved the fish ,and the lizard 🦎 he cried because he wanted to take one home 😳. It was $1.00 to feed turtle 🐢,and we watched the otters eat. Don't wear sandals if you haven't been there my ankles hurt wore wrong pair of shoes 😒. We had fun though.

A great local aquarium - it had a lot more to offer than we were expecting! We were very excited for the reptiles and mammals as well. We hope this aquarium continues to be supported so that it can continue to grow!

If you haven't been to this gem, you should make the trip! Admission prices are reasonable and the whole place is fun. Our kids, ages 5 and under, loved counting the fish and seeing all the different varieties. The fun facts were pretty amazing. We especially enjoyed feeding the turtles!

Loved every thing in the exhibits!!! They really take pride in their park! Advice don’t go at the end of the day or you won’t see the otters! Next time we will see them! We accidentally stumped across the place on our adventure with the family.

This is a fabulous place! What a pleasant surprise. It is clean. The water in the aquariums were crystal clear! Staff was so friendly too. We will return.

At first glance it doesn't look like much, then when you get inside you're surprised by the vast array of local aquatic life they have on display. As an added bonus they even have various insect displays. But wait! There's more! There is even a pretty great turtle habitat and enclosures. Turn your gaze to the right of turtle town and you'll see a trail with even more wildlife displays. Most of the exhibits were interactive so it was great to watch kids feed animals, view otter feedings and even get acquainted with various species of rattlesnakes. Prices aren't bad either with an option for annual passes if you plan on multiple trips. 10/10 would go again 10/10 would recommend.

First time here. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Tanks & habitats were clean and their selection of fish was great. Loved feeding turtles and quail. Otters were cute but stubborn in coming out.
