Most people don’t go to the zoo to dine but if you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind dining experience surrounded by animals, check out the Oklahoma City Botanical Garden and Zoo. It’s not only the largest zoo in the state but they have a two-story restaurant with floor-to-ceiling windows that offers gorgeous views of the surrounding animal habitats.

Admission to the OKC Zoo is required to eat at the restaurant but if you have a membership, then you can dine here as often as you would like.

The zoo is home to 130 acres and almost 2,000 animals. Plus, they have a variety of wild encounters where you can get up close and personal with many of the animals.
