Oklahoma Today Show: March 9, 2026

Ever visit the zoo and think, "Wow, I wish I could stay here the whole day." Well now you really can! Just book a stay at OKC Zoo's new Baobab Lodge, a fabulous new glamping overnight in the heart of the Exhibition Africa area. Wake up to the sound of lion roars and giraffes greeting the morning sun. Best of all, those who stay get exclusive access to the zoo grounds for a few hours before and after close. It's the kind of stay the builds the memories of a lifetime.

Also on this week's episode, the editors share which other Oklahoma overnights they think include an amazing view, and podvents provides us with Paddy's Day plans. You won't want to miss it!
