The OKC Zoo Amphitheater was the first and principal structure built in OKC by the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps). It was established to provide jobs for economic recovery during the depression. It was constructed from Native Sandstone during 1935 and 1936, with workers camping near the park. The first performance was "The Circus of 21 Death-Defying Acts."
The amphitheater seating is on a hill, and there is general admission seating and VIP seating options. You can also purchase season tickets at a premium price.
You are not permitted to bring in food, drink, cameras, pets, or weapons, but you are allowed to bring in a lawnchair UNLESS more than 6,000 tickets have been sold.
