phone The Nature Trail is part of Oxley Nature Center and is located within Mohawk Park. The Tulsa Zoo is also located in Mohawk Park. Oxley is 1 mile north of the zoo

 

There will be helpers watching out for everyone and tour guides teaching how to use senses other than sight to tell what’s going on all around us in nature. We hope you’ll join us for a fun and exciting sensory experience. Tickets are $2.50 - $2 of this will go to the park and 50 cents will go to TCB as a fund raising donation. Money for tickets must be turned into the park 2 weeks prior to the event so the park knows how many helpers they will need to schedule.
