🦈 What is Sharklahoma?

Sharklahoma is a month-long celebration of all things sharks, the Oklahoma Aquarium, and the amazing city of Jenks, Oklahoma! 🦈

Founded in 2019 by the Oklahoma Aquarium and the Jenks Chamber of Commerce, Sharklahoma brings together shark lovers, science fans, and community pride for one FIN-tastic July.

 

🎉 Why celebrate sharks?
Because the Oklahoma Aquarium is home to the world’s largest collection of bull sharks—and we’re proud of it! Featured by the Discovery Channel, BBC, and Animal Planet, our sharks help power research and inspire conservation.

 

🎉 Why Jenks?
Since opening in 2003 along the banks of the Arkansas River, the Aquarium has welcomed over 300,000 visitors per year and become a major point of pride—and an economic engine—for Jenks and all of Oklahoma.

 

🎉 So… what makes Sharklahoma so special?
It’s what happens when you mix community spirit, epic aquatic exhibits, local events, and a deep love for sharks—all in one unforgettable month.
