A Tulsa neighborhood has come up with a creative, fun way to get kids outside to learn – a neighborhood zoo.

About 30 Tulsa families in a neighborhood near 91st between 129th and Garnett got together Friday to host a "walk-thru zoo" in front of their houses.

They put stuffed animals outside, in flower beds, in trees, on cars, in cages, even on top of mailboxes. And each animal had a little poster with information about the animal,

Kids walked around the block, stayed at a safe physical distance and learned a about exotic animals and wildlife.              

Erica Nease shared pictures with News On 6 said it was incredible to see all the kiddos out smiling, wanting to take pictures and show off their zoo projects without a care in the world!!

And while the pandemic stinks, some folks say community involvement like this might have never happened otherwise.
