This pride of 7 lions is located near the lion and cat exhibits at the OKC Zoo. The 2 parents and 5 cubs are sprawled out near each other, all looking in the same direction. This is a huge sculpture and a popular one for kids to play on. Be very careful in the summer months since the surface temperature of the bronze can burn your skin!
The sculpture is located near a cafe, restrooms, and tram stop as well as the popular exhibit Great EscAPE.
The OKC Zoo is open daily except Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day. Admission price is $8 for adults; $5 for children 3-11 and Seniors; free for children 2 and under.
You are welcome to bring in your own food, but you are not allowed to share it with the animals. Straws and glass are not allowed, and smoking is prohibited in the entire zoo and parking lot.
