Giant Duck Takes Over Gathering Place For Big Dam Party

The world's largest rubber duck is visiting Tulsa this weekend for the Big Dam Party at Zink Lake. You'll be able to visit the 61-foot-tall attraction at Gathering Place.

The world's largest rubber duck starts out pretty flat. 

"Big omelet," said Jase Wiarda.

Wiarda takes this huge mess of yellow vinyl all over the country. Before it can inflate into a monster-sized bath toy, it needs to be cleaned off. 

"So the duck is quite sandy. We were just set up on a beach in Rine, New York, so we have an awesome pressure washer and cleaning team here that's going to get it all sparkling for everyone here in Tulsa," said Wiarda. 

The inflatable is here in Tulsa to get people excited about the Big Dam Party and the grand opening of Zinc Lake. Event organizers say it's sure to be selfie-central for thousands of visitors.   

"Everyone is excited and clamoring to come out for that photo with him; it's going to just drive great traffic," said Tim Chambers with Tulsa Regional Tourism.

He’s helping promote the big weekend. He says you might have already seen Timmy, the baby rubber duck, traveling across Tulsa looking for his mom.

"I think he has one more stop, and then he's just going to give up and come on over to the Gathering Place, but to his surprise, he'll find momma here waiting for him," said Chambers.

If the momma duck serves no other purpose, Chambers hopes it will help people find their way around.

"Frankly, I think it'll serve since the footprint of this park is so massive it's going to really serve as a nice beacon or lighthouse for people to kind of way find throughout the entire weekend," said Chamber.
