God is not in this place. Instead, only screams from dead, the feeling of something terrible that happened centries ago on blood stained land. While driving by it seems this building is shrouded in darkness. All respect to true Heros... Something is WAY off about this place.

Amazing architecture, probably the most beautiful building in Oklahoma and the people who work and assemble at this location are the friendliest people you'll ever meet.

This is a wonderful organization and a beautiful temple . We have been here for many events for masonry, the order of the eastern star and for demolay. The building is always well maintained in the staff is exceptionally, polite and professional

Heartland Music Festival!
Band contest, scored a superior.
I did not see Ben Gates while I was there, but I’m sure he was around.
The whole vibe of the place is proud and mysterious. Not to mention old and proud. The whole experience was … a treasure.
Armstrong Auditorium, situated on the Herbert W. Armstrong College campus, is a top-notch performing arts center that showcases world-class dance, music, and theater productions. The venue's lobby is adorned with exquisite Austrian crystal chandeliers and French candelabras, creating an elegant ambiance. Renowned for its exceptional acoustics, the auditorium offers an unparalleled experience during orchestra concerts and live music performances.
Beautiful facility! Phenomenal acoustics! There really is no bad seat in the house and the people who are working the various events are so helpful, knowledgeable, and courteous.

A hidden gem in Central Oklahoma. Saw Celtic Throne as they began their 2023 tour. A premier venue for musical concerts. The venue is beautiful with comfortable seats and amazing acoustics. Staff is super friendly and willing to assist. A definite must for musical performances .

Wonderful venue. Beautiful architecture, and great sound. Attended the Glenn Miller Orchestra presentation, and it rocked. Attended two (2) other shows (Ray Chen and Irish dancers). Perfect productions. Have updated, and increased my season tickets. You can't go wrong with Armstrong Auditorium.

Loved it. Had an exhibit bringing rare Bible artifacts to be seen by Oklahoman's...Skip the religious reference if you do not believe! The artifacts are still rare examples of very old ancient civilizations.
There was no cost or any asking or place where you could put a donation. I did ask ...and gave a small amount and may mail in more money donation. This is rare for an exhibition or museum not to have a place for donations where such significant things are being displayed.
This exhibit dealt Seals Isaiah and Hezekiah. It goes til Aug. 19, 2018

Absolutely the best show I have ever seen. The lighting was incredible along with the talent on the stage. The venue was marvelous as soon as you walked through the doors. The audience was very involved, clapping to the songs! The audience even stood up to clap after a couple performances. I would go see it again tomorrow if there was another show :)

I thoroughly enjoyed The Celtic Throne. The dancers and musicians were outstanding and the music and light show were exception. The grounds of the auditorium are gorgeous and well kept. The art inside is beautiful and the staff is very friendly. I intend to attend more events in the future. It was throughly enjoyable from start to finish. I highly recommend this venue!

As a teen I watched all of the old musical movies with Big Band music. The Glen Miller Band with "In The Mood" has always been my favorite. Last night at the Armstrong Auditorium with the Glen Miller Band was wonderful. The only thing missing was the dance floor. Thank you for the opportunity to cross off on my bucket list, my live big band experience. I loved it! 5 stars!

Incredible!! Such sharp, dramatic choreography. Such showmanship--every single person right down to the little peeps! We could tell they were having fun. I really loved how Jude explained about the family connections. Wow! The patriotic songs were also very stirring, and many in the audience gave them a standing ovation. It was so professional and somehow it just keeps getting better! How is that possible?! I'll be back next week!

My wife and I saw the Glenn Miller Orchestra Thursday, April 4th at Armstrong. It was our first time with this orchestra and at this venue. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend both. The auditorium is beautiful throughout and the three giant chandeliers are beyond words. The orchestra was nothing short of outstanding and the musical selections were excellent. The only issue was that it was difficult to hear vocals due to the volume of the instruments. This was not a major issue and would not stop me from coming back. Overall it was still a great 5-star experience.

Our first time to visit this auditorium, and we were not disappointed! Beautiful facility and the acoustics were great for performances. We saw the Celtic Throne, and the talent of these young adults and kids was amazing. Plenty of informed staff to help with doors, directions, history and parking. Small parking lots but the staff moved traffic in and out safely and quickly.

Had a wonderful evening at the Armstrong with my husband last night. The staff were all very helpful and kind. The venue is in a class by itself, and I don’t think there is a bad seat in the house. The only thing that I thought was a bit off was that the stage floor was extra dusty. But on a final note (pun intended) getting to hear the Hamburg Steinway again was such a treat. Such a joy to see a 26-year-old play it so brilliantly.
The National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum is devoted to the history and culture of the American West. It features a large collection of art and artifacts, including works by well-known Western artists. The museum is located on a prominent hill in Oklahoma City, providing stunning views of the American West.
I really liked it. It's huge. We walked around and looked at the exhibits and the pictures on the wall. There are several displays. They are very well done. I highly recommend going. We stayed several hours in the museum.

We stopped here because I remember seeing "End of the Trail" about 48 years ago as a kid. This powerful statue left me in awe & I wanted my wife & grandchild to see it as well.
We went in at opening time of 10am. I was struck by the size & scope of the museum's displays. WOW!! There is truly something for everyone on display.
The staff was out of this world. Full of knowledge & happy to be of help. If you tour with one of their guides you will not be disappointed.
I plan on visiting again the next time we get to Oklahoma City.
Kevin Wilson — Google review
It was an absolutely fantastic experience! We had "an hour to kill," ended up spending 2.5 hours at the museum, and needed at least another few hours to see everything.
The displays and exhibitions are well thought out, descriptive, and looked after!
We loved the museum and would definitely recommend a visit.

This was my first time visiting this museum. I was VERY impressed. There was a myriad of paintings, artifacts, displays of western gear, weapons, ropes, barbed wire and MANY bronze statues, including Remington's. I took over 400 photographs that I plan to make a slideshow with for my YouTube page. At 1:00 P.M. I went on a guided tour with a very knowledgeable docent that was very enjoyable. I highly recommend this museum.

My visit to the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum was a truly memorable experience. One of the highlights for me was exploring the outdoor Native American living quarters. It was fascinating to see how Native Americans lived and worked, and the attention to detail in the recreation of the living quarters was impressive.
In addition to the outdoor exhibits, the museum itself is full of fascinating artifacts and exhibits that showcase the history and culture of the American West. From cowboy gear to Native American art, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
The museum also offers a range of educational programs and events, making it a great destination for families and anyone interested in learning more about the history of the American West.
Overall, I highly recommend a visit to the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. It's a great way to experience the rich history and culture of the American West in a fun and engaging way.

Wow! The outdoor reenactment is very well done. The cowboy gallery and rodeo exhibit were so fascinating. Love the different multimedia making learning and browsing so entertaining.
Lots of interesting American Indian history that occupied all over US, not just local tribes.
We rushed through in 2 hours but could easily spend another 2.

Absolutely amazing. There is such an astounding collection of art and historical artifacts, it will take the better part of a day to work your way through everything. I like how the exhibits are broken down into sections which make easier to take it all in. I especially enjoyed "the town". An entire indoor town is genius. I also enjoyed the movie memorabilia section. Very well done! This is probably one of the best museums I have ever been too. If you love cowboy culture and the old west, this place is a must!

We had such a fun time at this museum!! Free parking, no wait time, and only $15 admission; I definitely recommend setting aside an entire morning or afternoon if you want to get the whole experience. I think we spend about 3 hours walking around the art galleries. So much beautiful artwork and history to see and learn about- I loved how there were also exhibits outside (see pictures of the waterfall below.) The gift shop has a huge variety of souvenirs to choose from too!
Jessica Lowe — Google review
I was pleasantly surprised how diverse this place is. I loved the 2023 Prix the West exhibit - so many folk artists had a chance to show their beautiful art. The building is beautiful, too, very spacious and interesting. Remember to see all the outside spaces, too. The gift store had a great choice of handmade items available. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Sooooo many amazing displays and rooms and info and knowledgeable docents! This museum is one of the best I’ve been too. It’s not just “dry” info. They have found a way to display and tell and show that brings this place to life. Spent 2 1/2 hours here and barely scratched the surface and only left because of another appointment! Loved this museum and will be back!!

This is a really informative and well organized museum. I was pleasantly surprised at how engaging the artwork, history, and sculptures were. It took 1-2 hours to cover the museum and I went on a "Bank of America Museums on Us" free weekend. I highly recommend visiting if you're in the Oklahoma City area!

Was not expecting such a museum in a place such as OKC, not going to lie…I frequented many national museums in DC and I am glad I stumbled across this one. I will definitely be back to take time to soak in the entire exhibit. I highly recommend this museum if you are into these kind of places. Beautiful inside and outside.

What a great place to experience cowboy and western heritage. The completeness and thoroughness of this museum is astounding. I only spend a couple of hours and rushed through the various areas of the museum. Everything I saw was done exceptionally well. If you are in the area, this is a must see place. Don’t expect to see the whole place in one visit, there are just too many areas with so many details that it would too ambitious to see it all. I have a much better understanding and respect for cowboy life after my visit.
Nils Pedersen — Google review
I highly recommend this. Great for the family. Kids loved it. If you’ve ever traveled abroad to learn culture and see ancient ruins, you’ll love learning about the culture right here.
We were impressed with the Prix de West art collection. And we’re not art connoisseurs. The kids loved Prosperity Junction which immersed us in another era. Definitely try the sarsaparilla at the saloon and learn about the cowboy job. Outside, tour the different types of indigenous Indian homes.
You’ll spend about 2-3 hrs here and take about 20 pictures.

I really enjoyed my visit to the National cowboy and western heritage museum! The museum has a wide variety of collections and throughout the museum, I was offered guidance by the volunteers. The front desk staff were super friendly and helpful!! The garden was closed today due to weather but they were so nice and offered me one complimentary ticket to come back later this week to see the gardens! 🥺 definitely recommend this museum to everyone visiting OKC!!

Absolutely love this museum! If you are on I40 or I35 near Oklahoma City it is very much worth your while to stop and visit. Parking is easy (and free!). You could easily spend several hours or just stop in to view the art in the main area. Highly recommend!

This site is great for family fun, a date night, school trip, or just a leisurely stroll. The Cowboy is easily our family's favorite outing this year. We've made a goal to go monthly. We see a new room we didn't know was there every time we go!

Very nice exhibits and interesting artifacts. I enjoyed the outside exhibits as well. We spent about 2 hours here and it kept my 14 year old’s attention. The staff were helpful and knowledgeable as well. They also have scavenger hunts and other activities for smaller children. Lots of good photo opportunities and appreciated the air conditioning inside since it was very hot outside. Nice gift shop on the way out too. Parking was simple and free.

We all had a great time here, our party included parents and a 16 yr old as well as a 4 year old. This museum is massive and you could spend hours inside and then even more outside. The collections of art, memorabilia, antiques, replicas, etc are just enthralling to go through. There is no shortage of items to look and learn about in this massive museum. The old west replica town is so immersive, you feel like you are in a western. It is so well put together and several buildings you can actually go in and take really cute photos. I agree that the native American side of western history is severely lacking here - but the title does have COWBOY most prominent and that is what you will find here. Tons of cowboy history. From the wild west to the movies to the rodeo and beyond. I really wasn't expecting the massive structures outside of the museum but it is truly a sight to see. I recommend allotting plenty of outside time, especially if you are there with younger children. There is a playground, interactive areas and lots of immersive play opportunities. The people that complain about this museum must just hate life. My only complaint I have from our visit was that my four year old wanted to rush us through everything and I felt jipped on my experience there! I guess I will just have to go back!!
Jessica Hamlet — Google review
The Cowboy Museum, as it's locally known, has made some big changes over the last couple years, and they are all for the better. The best part right now is an expanded outdoor space that honors many Native American tribes in the Oklahoma area and their stories. Liichokoshkomo' showcases a Chickasaw Council House, Hopi Pueblo homes and much more! Kids can also choose an animal guide to find drawing prompts, codes words, the sounds of the Old West and how many cowboy hats are in certain exhibits. If you haven't been to the Cowboy Museum in awhile, you definitely need to check it out! There's so many new things to see!
Melanie C — Google review
Excellent! So much to see here so plan to be here for a few hours. The right side has a bit more things to see and read than the left I think personally. Don't forget to go outside! I will be back because I know I missed some things and what an awesome National Cowboy Museum.
The bathrooms were clean. The staff was friendly and ready to give important facts about wherever you were in the museum.
Plenty of parking. They have a small cafe. Didn't eat food so cannot give an opinion. Ticket prices were good, they did offer us a disabled vet discount so that was nice.
Go check this museum out!

Enjoyed our family visit to the National Cowboy & Western Heritage museum. There is something for everyone here. I was impressed with the Art and sculpture. Others in my party enjoyed the movie and rodeo memorabilia. We spent 4 entertaining hours.
I was impressed by helpful volunteer docents who gave us an excellent overview at the start and helped us learn more in the exhibits.

This was a great museum! It covered a lot of history. There were multiple videos to watch. It has a lot of artwork and sculptures to look at. It's bigger than it looks. It took us a couple hours but could have taken longer if we would have stopped to read everything.
The Science Museum Oklahoma is a fascinating place where you can explore hands-on exhibits and learn about science and technology. It also has a planetarium and cafe.
I took a group 8-17 & we all had a blast. It’s perfect to escape the weather & well worth the price. The line to get lunch got ridiculously long. Had we waited, it would have been at least 45 minutes just to order. There are a ton of hands on things to do, you can easily spend the entire day there. I will say, the lady at the planetarium seemed a little, um, not nice at first. Once the show began it was different. She’s really good at her job. I think it may have been a field trip day though. Definitely go check this place out. You will be happy you did

Great place for kids and big kids alike. Very interactive and fun. Only reason for 4 stars is that some of the interactive stations and exhibits were closed, under renovation, or just not functioning the way they were intended. And at a cost of 70$ for admission for a family of 4 ( 2 adults, and 2 kids) its a bit of a let down.

This is our first time visiting this museum, and since we live 30 minutes away, we were wondering if it's worth the drive. There are lots of sections for kids and plenty of activities to do. I particularly loved the section with all the building blocks – my kids could spend all day there. We will definitely come back again and will consider getting a membership here.

It was very unique. Fun. The only thing I think it needed was tracks and hook for our portable hoyer lift (so heavy persons with wheelchairs and no lower body) use can use the bathroom. We love that there is a plus size durable changing table in the restrooms. We would have liked to stay longer and saw all the cool exhibits. So much cool stuff.

This was our first time visiting the Science Museum in OKC and it was AWESOME!!!! We visited it for my sons 3rd Grade Field Trip and we drove there from Sapulpa which is about 1 hour (especially on a 🚌) It wasn’t overly crowded and the amount of stuff to do is really impressive. We arrived at 9:30am and had to meet the rest of the Field Trip at Noon to have lunch and just regroup and that 2 1/2 hours flew by!!! We were so entertained and so busy I couldn’t believe it was already time for lunch! And the 2 hours after lunch felt like 10 minutes!!! I have already planned a trip back with all of my family nieces, parents, everyone. We will definitely be visiting this Museum regularly from now on!!!!!

I first visited here 7 years ago when my daughter was 10 and we spent alllllll day and still felt like we didn't see it all. My most recent visit in March 2024 it was the same! It is such a visual feast and there are limitless hands on activities for kids of all ages (even the 40+ variety) to enjoy. Our four year old was just over the moon excited the entire time we were there. The curiocity area is just amazingly put together with so many interactive things to do and see. The playground area is just fun for adults to LOOK at, I can't even imagine being a kid and getting to run and play in and around it! There are places throughout the museum that are worn and dated from thousands and thousands of hands touching it but honestly when you think about the daily traffic - it still looks great and almost everything was in working order. I must agree with other reviews that talk about the need for more parent seating options. When your kid just wants to play, play, play - I am willing to let him do so if I've got somewhere to rest my back. There are tons of wall spaces where additional benches could easily fit in for us weary parents. With that being said- there ARE benches available throughout if it's not a crazy busy day, after the school buses left I was able to rest my feet more often. The Science Live show was back as of our visit and a MUST SEE. The new theater is gorgeous! I loved the bike area that was added since my last visit, there are so many cool antique bicycles! My son loved being able to get in the jet cockpit, he kept asking to go back to that all day. He loved anything to do with playing in water and there were a few areas that allowed that. He had so much fun climbing around in the honeycomb structure. We were able to sit in for a cosmos show which was also a great break from wandering the huge property all day. I was disappointed to find out that after a certain point in the day, they only serve pizza at the cafe - as a diabetic, low carb dieter - that meant there were no options for me for lunch. I wish there was something on the website somewhere that lets you know this so people staying all day and banking on grabbing something on site can plan accordingly. All in all, my son had an amazing day and I am sure the next time we visit OKC we will plan to make Science Museum Oklahoma another all-day adventure.

The whole family had fun. There is so much to do! And they really make everyone feel included. Not 1 but 2 Nursing rooms that included a quieter environment comfy chairs a couple toys for young while mom is busy nursing and a sink! Love being able to wash my hands. This would have been a five star review except....
Nothing had Ben organized and refilled in most of the curiosity activities(paper cups. balls. Costumes ect) and certain activities should have a time limit or some thing. 1 family hogged 1 activety my family really wanted to try almost the whole day. And we were there open to close. Food is not bad priced and something for everyone or your allowed to bring your own. Was an amazing family day we will be doing again.

This has been a family favorite and we try to visit every time we are in town. There is something here for all ages. It is also deceitfully big. It looks much smaller than it is - you can walk through a door and find yourself in a whole other wing. When planning your trip, here are my tips: Have multiple adults to supervise if you have multiple kids. There is a lot to see and they will want to run off. Some areas are closed off and have only one exit, but a lot of the areas are easy for excited kids to wander off. Wear comfortable shoes. You can spend a long time here. Our most recent visit, we spent 3.5 hours and still didn’t see/do everything we wanted to fit in. We did buy food at the cafe - I feel like the options have significantly decreased since the pandemic, so next time we will bring our food from home - but the food we got was enjoyed. There is a planetarium that does shows, so if you want to see one, be sure to check showtimes - and sometimes the lines will fill up quickly. They also do a live show near the entrance, so check the times for that, too. They are usually big hits, although we did not make it to a show this trip. Parking is free and we did not wait for tickets although we did arrive on a Wednesday.

Really fun place to take the kids. My wife and I found it entertaining as well. We were there for a few hours and still didn't get the chance to go through all the areas. Plenty to do. I also saw complaints in a bunch of reviews about things being broke. But I only saw one display what was broken. So maybe they've been repairing things. I hope so. Kids loved it and I'd take them back again. But it is expensive so get ready for that!

Had a great time at the Science Museum. I got to come here as a kid for school field trips. There was still stuff from when I was little which gave a lot of nostalgia to the trip. They have expanded and updated a lot of exhibits. It was great to see new stuff and they’ve added a food court and an outdoor area you can walk through. Great place to spend a day for any age!

Been there several times. It's a great way to keep the kids busy for 2-4 hours with interactive science activities. Prices are comparable with other science museums nationwide. Come during the holiday season and will get a chance to tour the interior of fully restored 1929 Pullman parlor train car.

We had a lot of fun. There are so many different exhibits that 4 hours wasn't enough to fully enjoy every. I recommend getting there before lunch to maximize the amount of time to see everything without rushing. There are a lot of benches to take short breaks and rest your legs. The food court is pretty expensive so eat before you go. There's plenty of opportunities for pictures.

First time to Oklahoma and we decided to give this a shot.
This place is so AWESOME! I have kids ranging from ages 5 to 17 and they all had a blast! There's something for everyone to enjoy here.
They have tons of exhibits! Really anything you could think of, lol. They have water play, sand, a mirror maze, a "treehouse" a pretend play theater, gymnastics stuff, a replica of a tornado, a giant prism you can crawl in, bed of nails, games, a planetarium... This list goes on and on! My kid's favorite was the big climbing area they had in one section. It had multiple slide and tons of areas to climb in. They had a 3-story twisty slide that you had to climb to. Right next to it was a funhouse. Lots of fun!
I would 100% come back here

I thought the Science museum of Oklahoma was absolutely fantastic. The museum itself is quite large and spacious, and has many wonderful exhibits and artifacts to check out. They have a great collection of airplane models that have a lot to do with aerospace history. They have a very neat exhibit dedicated to optical illusions that is very interesting to explore. Probably my favorite part of the museum is the planterarium. They offer multiple showings throughout the day and it is a fascinating experience. If you have the ASTC passport, then you get free admission here.
The Oklahoma City Zoo is a zoo located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. It features 1,900 animals from across the world and offers a variety of attractions such as shows and trails.
One of my favorite zoo's to visit. Lots of variety of animals. Lots of trees for shade. Plenty of benches for sitting when gets tired. The tram is handy for getting around and inexpensive. Handicapped accessible. Great activities for adults and kids.

We went on the first nice Saturday of the spring and it was super crowded. The overflow parking was across the street at the racetrack. Other than the long walk to and from the car, once inside, it wasn't bad. With all of the new expansions, the exhibits were all comfortable to get around. It was the first time I had been to the zoo in close to 10 years. It is certainly not the same as when I was a kid. The new elephant area is huge and all the animals have so much room to roam around. No more little cages for any of the animals. The Asia experience is beautiful and I can't wait to go back when the Africa section is also complete. That being said, with all of the updates the cost has also increased quite a bit. I believe that you can still bring a picnic lunch inside as well as your own snacks. We ate at the Cafe by the sting rays and for 3 kid drinks, fries, a hamburger, and chicken strips it was almost $50! 🤯 Wear comfortable shoes, because you will be walking a lot!

We went on a Saturday afternoon in April and the zoo was incredibly packed. People will not hesitate to cut you off while walking. Due to the heat, many of the animals were sleeping or hiding. Notably the bears. We weren’t able to see any of the bears on this day. The monkeys and gorillas were definitely the most active animals on this day. The tram ride is $6 per person and I would recommend that on hot days. The cool part about the tram is that they provide you with unique animal facts and the zoo’s history as you are riding and seeing the animal exhibits. The bird feeding is $4 per person and I thought that it was ridiculous that I had to pay $4 just to walk in and watch my family members feed birds that didn’t want to eat. Bring your own drinks because we waited in line for 30 minutes to spend $25 on drinks that would have been $8 or less at any overpriced gas station across the state. Despite the sometimes disappointing price points and waits, the employees were incredibly friendly across the zoo. I would recommend going on a cooler day and during the week if you can.

Most of the zoo is under construction currently. It would be nice if tickets were discounted since a good portion (pushing half or more) is under construction. But it's still a lot of fun! Some things were still left from the dino exhibit. The zoo is huge, give it at least 3 hours. Lots to see. Bring quarters (feeding ducks, turtles, fish), $1 and pennies (smashing), $5s (wax molds!) and then however you're going to pay for food.
There should be exhibit signs for the construction. For the workers, the machines, what's going on. Kids like construction, too, and adults are curious. I would love to see signs about who is working, what they like, how the machines work and facts about them. How the company hired is contributing to making a better planet. They're missing a perfect chance to teach.

It was a great school trip. The zoo is doing remodeling so there was a lot of construction that was going on. The animals that were there were awesome to see. The kids and everyone there had a great time, and can't wait to see what new exhibits will come. The zoo was also setting up the lights for Halloween, which was really cool to see as well.

With a whole new exhibit being constructed and the aquatic area slated for a full makeover there is a lot of work being done around the zoo. It made it feel very run down. Most exhibits were closed or empty. Some were just full of debris. Then, the exhibits that were open were overly crowded with unattended field trippers. The kids were so disappointed with the animal situation that they spent most of their time playing on the jungle gyms. For a Zoo actively pushing to be voted “Best Zoo in the Nation” it has a long way to go.
That being said, the updates being made are very nice. When it’s all done I’m sure it’ll be fantastic. Until then though it just seems like a waste. We basically spent $100 for our kids to go to the playground.

Zoo experience was great. Every animals, and birds have enough space for themselves. They were properly labeled with their features or characteristics which is enough to distinguish them.
There are separate sections for snakes, water creatures, asian animals, cats (lion) and many more. Special section is bear, they are real entertainers.
New wing is currently under construction which will involve new animals or scenery to the zoo beauty. It has train service ($9-10/ person), if anyone wants to use. Food and water outlets inside as well.
Kids live to spend time with their families.
It will take minimum 5 hours to maximum 7 hours to see and enjoy whole zoo.

The zoo has made many changes since I was last there, 13 years ago. I decided to take my 19 year old son with me. We had a blast! Unfortunately we did not get to see all the animals because it was hot and they go inside, but that is expected. Either way, it was worth it! We took many photos and videos. Even stopped to ride the carousel. Just remember to be courteous to the animals and don't let little ones bang on their glass, it stresses them out more. Don't forgot to stop in the little shop they have by the night exhibit, it's quant and has many goodies inside (I'd recommend going that direction last, or else you'll be carrying everything throughout the day.)

Daughters first time there, and she loved it. Haven't been in years and a lot has changed and been added. Staff was friendly and the zoo was surprisingly clean with as many people that were there. You have to get there early for a good parking spot though, otherwise you are parking across the street at the casino or if you're lucky, next door at the science museum. Military discount is great!

A great zoo with many fun events and animals from all across the world. Seems to be a very popular spot for field trips. Some sections seem to be perpetually under construction, but that means it's constantly changing. The zoo friends perks are great for frequent visitors and discounts.

2023 Safari Lights drive and walk through reservation. $70 for a car with up to 4 walk passes. It's about an hour and a half to see it all, but give yourself 2 hours. The drive was nice with more animals and peaceful, quiet, or Christmas music and heat. It only costs $7 more for 4 people to do the drive and walk than just the walk through, so that is the way to go, but you must order online in advance to reserve your time slot. I'm not sure it is something we will do every year, but it was very nice. The walk was nice with some interaction activities and places for photo opportunities. There were concessions around where you could warm up, and I saw some people cooking marshmallows. At the entrance, there is a light show all around that lasts for about 6 songs (+- 9 min) or so and then gives a 3 minute countdown before restarting. Wish there were longer paths to walk as we saw it all relatively quickly.

I'd recommend to take the mini train for a ride in the first place and save some energy for the animals you and your family love. The park is worth for at least two days visit. But the legwork was a bit exhausting. Bring your own food. The park's food is not bad but might be a little pricey than average.

Place is under construction in a lot of spots, but it says that on the website so you should know ahead of time.

My kiddos and I came during the week the OKC Zoo was having free admission. It wasn't very crowded at all since a lot of schools started this week. What I was really impressed with was the amount of restroom stops they provided as well as cooling stations. I was so glad to see a lot of staff around as well, and they were all so nice. It was a pretty awesome visit despite how hot it was!

We had a blast! We really enjoyed how the animals were active for the most part, and how each area was so accurate to the regions that each animal was from. I wish we knew that the feeding zoo cost to enter so we could've been better prepared... Other than that we had a great time and all of the zoo employees were very friendly helpful and professional! Will be going back after the African exhibit is done!

The OKC Zoo is simply the best place to hang out any day of the week. So much to see and do! If you can, buying a pass is the way to go. I’ve been taking my children there for 20 years and absolutely love it! The zoo keeps improving and I hope to see it completed one of these days.

The zoo is now better than ever with the Expedition Africa open. They did however change companies for the dining areas so the Flavor Burst ice cream (the one everyone remembers from school) is no longer carried. However I will not dock points because I do not know the reason for the swap. The giraffe enclosure is so awesome now, you can see them from 95% of it due to how open the walk way is. I recommend the OKC Zoo and have been ~4 times in the past year it is always growing and getting better.

A great place to visit. We were there for about 4 hours and still could only see part of the zoo.
My wife got to feed the giraffes and loved that.
I loved getting a mold from the Mold-a-matic. They had these at different places I visited when I was a child. It was like walking back into time and IT WAS FABULOUS!!!
A perfect experience for the whole family!!
Also, they had a lot of potential discount groups so make sure and find out if you can get a discount.

It was a great calming experience. It was during a weekday so it was All Adults, Not crowded. We walked around the whole park Not realizing 5hrs past by fast. The bathrooms were very clean, The lady at the Ticket both was really Kind, & The gentleman working The food booth By The Cats were respectful/Kind Also, They seemed like they enjoyed were they was working. The girls in the Starbucks seemed like they don’t like anyone & Just wanted to get paid to be there. But I will definitely say I would like to visit again 💯 Just cause It was a Beautiful, & Soothing place to Enjoy.

The improvements have been amazing and Exhibition Africa is awesome. The OKC community is so proud of this zoo. It’ll be even better once the aquatic area is complete. I’ve been volunteering for quite some time and can’t thank the staff enough for all they do. Go and check it out; you won’t be disappointed.

2023 the zoo has a light show that takes place after 4:00 they have huge figurines very unique throughout your walk of checking out the zoo animals. It was absolutely beautiful. Me and my family had a blast,the time went by so fast that we wished there had been more time to continue our visit.

Bricktown is a vibrant entertainment district in Oklahoma City, featuring refurbished warehouse spaces that house trendy restaurants, elegant wine bars, and stylish piano lounges. The area boasts of an assorted range of shops selling fashionable clothing, home decor items, and artisanal food products such as gourmet sauces and handmade chocolate. A popular attraction in Bricktown is the Water Taxi that offers tours along the picturesque Bricktown Canal.
The Centennial Land Run Monument is a beautiful attraction that celebrates the opening of the Oklahoma Territory with the Land Run of 1889. The bronze statue depicts settlers coming into the territory on horseback and wagon, and it is a must-see for anyone visiting Oklahoma City. Paul Moore created this amazing art installation, and it is a proud reminder of this important history in Oklahoma.
This work of art in Oklahoma City commemorates the Land Run of 1889. It is one of the world's largest bronze sculptures at 45 pieces! The project took nearly 20 years at a cost of $6.2 million dollars. It is in the Bricktown District in a nice park like setting. A truly amazing monument!

The amount of detail in this installation is very impressive. The more you pay attention the more connected the narrative becomes. It's a fun little view while you take a walk. They provide boat tours of the installation as well. It would be nice if there were some additional shaded structures or facilities for a cookout or venue space.

I have never seen so much statue in one place in all my life! Jaw dropping really. This is an amazing site to visit, gorgeous scenery, and a nice walk from anywhere around Bricktown.

I visited on a very rainy Tuesday. It was absolutely empty, and stunningly quiet, barring the sound of rain.
The experience was amazing. For a moment a bit scary, as it was so empty, I only had the little duckie for company , and she/he was just snoozing in the rain. Normally on sunny days, the canal rides go by every now, and it is a beautiful stretch to just walk around.

My wife and I are on a cross-country road trip from South Carolina to California, and we stopped for an overnight stay in Oklahoma City. While here, we visited the Centennial Land run Monument. It's in the Bricktown district as part of the Chickasaw Plaza. The monument is actually several statues depicting the great Centennial Land Run of 1889. The statues are very big and well done. A person could spend quite a bit of time studying each sculpture, as each one is quite detailed and "tells the story" of the individual's journey. The combined sculptures are spread throughout the plaza, and a nice walkway allows guests to see each sculpture close up. There are also a few signs that tell about the land run and the historical significance of the event. I wish that we had more time to spend here as well as explore the nearby river walk. It's a nice place to stop, admire, and learn.

We stopped here trying to check out the monument and the wall along the canal. Our first attempt to get into the parking lot was unsuccessful when we went over the bridge toward the River Sports area. In coming back around, we ended up in the right place. The monument is very impressive with many interesting details since as the man who last his hat and the stuff falling out of the wagon. The walk along the canal was pleasant and a nice opportunity to give our dog a chance to stretch her legs. More signage of how to make your way away from the monument toward Bricktown would have been helpful. Finding bridges across the canals was particularly straightforward.

This monument commemorates the 1889 land rush into Oklahoma. The statues are outstanding. Horses, riders, wagons, animals give the visitor a sense of grandeur and chaos. Larger than life scale allows the viewers a unique perspective. The parking, walkway and manicured grounds are easily accessible all around the monument. It was a leisurely 30-40 minute trip to see all sides.
Ted W — Google review
This monument is stunning. First of all these things look to me to be larger than "actual size" (of a typical horse, dog, rabbit, person etc.) So it is easy to see even from a decent distance. Check out the unique details of each piece! My favorite detail is the Rabbit running from the landrunners at the very front, possibly signifying the disruptive onset of the rushing settlers, or how quickly it all occured. This is not a replication of the same horse or person dozens of times, each statue is entirely unique. Worth the walk!
Elijah Helms — Google review
These are some really cool detailed statues that is well worth going to see. The only problem was Google took me off of the interstate down some back roads that seem like the maintenance department for the park system in Oklahoma City. Both me and my brother were on our motorcycles and decided to stop and see this. We didn't see anybody else the entire time we was enjoying the little park and as we went to leave we had parked our motorcycles down by the edge of the road that they locked us in. There was a gate with a bar across the road that we could not get out. We couldn't find anybody to help us, so we ended up getting up on the sidewalks with our fully loaded Harley-Davidsons and riding the sidewalk to a parking lot close to a Bass Pro right there. I live in a major tourist destination in that would have never ever happened where I live. Though I never felt unsafe one bit just be leery that there is nobody around or at least not when I was there, so it's definitely opportunity for somebody to be a victim and from what I saw it is not in the very best of probably what Oklahoma City has to offer. I just cannot believe we were locked into that Park if we had of been in a car there would have been no way we could have gotten out and I have no idea who to contact other than the police. But please don't let this experience deter you from seeing this well captured depiction of the great land rush. The details in the statues are phenomenal. And it isn't quite a nice little Park that would be perfect for a picnic. And just look at the very last picture I had posted just the detail on the rabbit getting out of the way. It is a great venue well worth seeing.
A round, red 1898 barn, now a historic roadside attraction & popular Route 66 pit stop.
This is really a cute little stop. It's got history, gifts, and, upstairs, the crown jewel, a basket-woven ceiling in an events room. I'm sure this has been the place to begin many a happy marriage!

Such a cute historic spot to stop on Route 66! This round barn has lots of history behind it, that you can read about in the museum/gift shop downstairs. And the upstairs is a must see. The ceiling looks as if it’s a woven basket, so neat! Lots of space upstairs to have an event such as a dance or wedding. The pictures would be beautiful! Definitely recommend stopping by for a photo opp and to learn a little bit!

We arrived within twenty minutes of closing. With that being said the woman working still gave all three of our kids their scavenger hunt paper, which helps to be more interactive within the building, and encourages reading about the different art pieces to help fill in the paper. We would definitely visit again to have more time to read around. The upstairs is breath taking. It's an awesome piece of history I hope continues to stay around. We were not rushed to be out, and we still got to see everything in a timely manner.

If you ever wanted to see a round barn, then here she be! Inside tells the history of the barn. There are two levels to explore. The inside also has things you can buy. Parking is across the street. Basically you just pull over off the highway. Make sure and look both ways before crossing. Speeding cars might get you! Also check the hours before going in case they are closed.

There’s a lot to do, really see, in Arcadia. Visit the Round Barn to see all the things inside & out. There’s a map of the town with historical buildings still in existence. Further west is Pop’s where you can buy all kinds of different colored sodas, different candy, shop the gift shop, and even dine in their cafe. Food is great. Heading east out past the Round Barn is an old gas station, and old western style town, and a historical marker of the eastern line of the Oklahoma Land Run of 1889!

We visited the Arcadia Round Barn on a weekday in May, 2023. other than one person in the gift shop, there was no one there. The store person didn't say anything to us, so we just went about our business. We viewed the barn, but didn't know a lot about it.
It is nicely built, with really nice acoustics. But we didn't stay long. The museum runs on a donation system. So maybe donate to the cause if you can. They have rest rooms in a separate building and a nice little area outside the barn.
It's a nice place to visit.

Riverwind Casino is a vibrant hotel that offers various dining options and live entertainment alongside its gambling facilities. While guests may not be guaranteed their preferred room, they were generally satisfied with the amenities provided. The establishment has made efforts to improve guest experience by fixing issues such as broken TVs and weak coffee. Despite lacking in-room microwaves, the casino offers an excellent buffet for meals. Riverwind serves as a convenient stop for travelers on highways and is especially valuable during holidays when other dining options are limited.
Such a nice casino and friendly people here. They're going through some construction but it's well organized and clean. Plenty of fun slot machines to play. I ate at their restaurant Chips & Ales I think that's the name . The Chicken Pot pie was the best I've ever had. My server Chastity was so professional and friendly I thought she was a manager to my surprise she wasn't but most definitely belongs in a position like that in your casino. Keep up the awesome job! Last but not least I had an amazing day here on Monday. Made up for my last visit a month ago where they kept my money.😁

I had so much fun at Riverwind tonight! The first machine I put $20 into I hit for $150. My fiancé decided to try the machine next to me and he hit for around $140. Then after spending another $60 I hit for another $120 and my fiance hit for another $153! All in all we had a lot of fun. They have a huge selection of slots to choose from, and although the tables were pretty full we could have found one or two to play at should we have wanted to do that. I also liked how there was at least 1 place still open to eat at when we were done at around 130am ( Burger King). There are a lot of restrooms all around so you don't have to look far when ya gotta go. The ONLY thing I didn't like is that we had such a hard time trying to find even ONE cashier so we could get our change that we ended up just leaving it behind after a good 10 minutes of walking around and looking. But Other than that we had A-blast. We were also able to park pretty close to the entrance so all in all I would say this casino should be a definite go to if you are in the mood to play. Two thumbs up from me!

Super expensive unless you only want crab.
It was the worst buffet I've ever experienced.
They have a line undeserving long. That's probably why they don't care about ...anything there was weird prome rib that seemed like precooked boil in the bag meat. The pork was dryer than dry looking shreds. No chicken at all and soggy fish and chips. There were very few sides and a lame salad bar. And to finish it a lame desert bar. At least it was above pig slop. For $39.99 it was a waste of money for me And for a casino...shame on your greedy penny pinching managment.

That fact we were able to reserve my favorite room and it was available when we arrived was awesome. However she did inform us she could not promise us the room. New TV and some other things we notice from our last visit were fixed a+ Just wish they would decide putting in the microwave. Chips and Alyse is partly the reason they're not getting five stars and the coffee seems to be weak this go around. I will be back though.

I did the all you can eat buffet on Saturday, which includes snow crab legs. Everything was delicious I got there around 6pm it was about a hour wait, but it was worth it. I mainly ate crab legs, the fried shrimp was good as well as the catfish. I saved a little room for desert, which I chose the bread pudding with carmel and vanilla sauce, but they had alot of options for $45. I will definitely be back 😁. If you get the Riverwind card you save $6

Really did not spend much time in Casino on this cold and wet day. Grounds leading into side entrance was littered with trash. A Landscaping brick unglued. Receptionist at guest counter was helpful issuing a new card & verifying new address from Driver's license. All total played four different slots. The Wicked Wheel was fun & kept me in the game. Ate a steak sandwich from IHOP located in food court. Steak might have been lean beef but appeared to be ground hamburger meat. Riverwind is a nice place to go for entertainment and fun.

We came here on a Saturday evening to grab some crab legs and spend some money. The line to the buffet was incredibly long. We waited 2+ hours in line, and we had to give up near the end, because it was near closing time. The Riverwind Casino Wild Card holder has a benefit of being placed close to the front of the line, so it pushed regular people back a lot. The place was filled with smoke, and I ended up leaving the place with my clothing reeks of cigarettes, and it ended up contaminating my car too. The place needs better air ventilation and filtration to deal with those smell.
One major kudos for this place is that their parking lot was well lit and organized. I felt safe walking and talking with my friend in the parking lot. It was also to find my party, because the parking was well labeled.

Went there with a group of friends last night. They are doing some remodeling but it doesn't appear to be affecting peoples fun. People seemed to be having a great time. They have a large selection of slot games. There are ATM's and bathrooms, a bar area in the center, a smoking area with card tables, roulette (table & electronic), and slots as well as a non-smoking play area. This was only my 3rd time in a Casino but it seemed great to me. There were employees constantly cleaning, waitresses walking by about every 15-20 minutes checking on people, and techs checking machines. The customer service lady was friendly, efficient, and professional all in one which was perfect! I would visit again.

Riverwind Casino offers ample winning opportunities, although the lack of a non-smoking section might be a concern for some. My experience included both victories and losses. The casino itself exudes an aged ambiance, yet hints at ongoing renovation efforts. However, the extent of modernization remains questionable. On-site dining options are available, albeit slightly pricier than typical establishments. Complimentary beverages like water and soda are offered near the entrance upon request.

Small local casino with an equally small hotel attached, in a cornfield next to a highway.
Typical casino, nothing special or horrible about it. You give them money and you leave. Small food court with major fast food chains, and one sit-down restaurant with decent and GENEROUS portions. The buffet is only open for limited days of the week, so I didn't try it.
The hotel side is also your normal hotel. They offer coffee and juice in the lobby, but that is about it besides a vending machine or two. They do not have a pool, or fitness center, but the business center has a PC and printer.
Parking is ample and the service was average. The room was nice with a small refrigerator, coffee maker, and TV. The view is either the cornfield or Mcdonald's and marshy area in the distance.
Now cleanliness is another thing. The refrigerator was visibly dirty, and the bottom two shelves were sticky to the point that I just left my items there when I left.
The shower curtain didn't reach the tub, so water soaked the floor every time I used it. The shower drain was "stuck", but with a little effort it, along with a ton of hair came right up!

I did not visit the casino floor or game. I attended Jo Koy stand up. He was funny. However the venue was essentially a ballroom with chairs set up as a theater. It seemed to be old fashion. The good news is that the venue is small enough to have a decent seat even if you end up in section 201 and above. One thing I disliked was the bar closing just before the main show started. That really sucks bcz I was parched the entire show. 😕 Next time I know to sneak water in. Lol.
The Fred Jones Jr Museum of Art boasts an impressive collection of historical pieces, including East Asian art and impressionist works. The museum has implemented a mask policy and social distancing measures to ensure the safety of its visitors. Admission is free, with a small area for free parking available. The first floor is filled with fascinating exhibits that capture the essence of history, leaving visitors in awe. This exceptional museum offers more than just alumni artists' work, making it stand out from other paid-entry museums.
It’s amazing Museum, even there are Van Gogh’s real paintings! I will go again when the new exhibition come.
I can’t believe it is free. I and my daughter spent 3 hours, it’s so beautiful, Every staff is so friendly. I don’t want leaving.

The museum has some truly amazing works of art. I was particularly impressed by the first wing on the left after entering through the main entrance. The synesthesia exhibit was neat and I was thankful for the line/crowd control to keep the inside from being so chaotic.
However, as someone who has visited hundreds of museums and who frequents them quite often, I was taken aback by how smothered I felt by one of the security personnel. At certain points following our every step closely to where it made myself and my teenage child feel very uncomfortable. For that reason we will most likely not be back.

I'm surprised that they don't charge any fee to appreciate beautiful arts! There is a piece of Van Gogh's painting. It is worthy to go. But I don't like the modern arts collection ...I feel it is too simple except the liberal statue one, check the picture below.

If you’re in the mood for amazing classical art the likes of which aren’t normally seen in Oklahoma sprinkled in with some casual racial profiling and the razzle dazzle of being followed, this is the place for you. I personally found it to be tiresome, and despite my love of classic art, having a staff member follow my girlfriend and I around the museum didn’t create the perfect, starlit loving night you may expect. It took away from our enjoyment and I don’t know that we’ll be back.

So much fun! It was super quiet when we went. They still have a mask policy and social distancing so that made me feel super safe. Free admission. They have a small area with free parking. Didn't make it to the second floor because I spent a ridiculous amount of time admiring items and breathing in the history on the first floor. Such an awesome experience. Highly recommend!!!

The Gaylord Family - Oklahoma Memorial Stadium is a red-brick football arena that serves as the home field for the University of Oklahoma's Sooners. On game day, the atmosphere is electric and lively. The stadium has over 85,000 seats available and offers a variety of vendors selling souvenirs, food, drinks, and other items commonly found at college football games. During halftime, mascots can be seen walking around and taking pictures with fans.
GAME DAY ATMOSPHERE!! is the only way to describe this stadium on game day. The fans are active, and energetic all game long. It is a great place to watch the game this is nice stadium with many vendors from souvenirs, food, drinks, and whatever else you could want at college football game. Halftime the mascots walk-around and take pictures with everybody. This was my first in person game in years, and I witnessed the the Caleb William's Era of OU football begin in person that was awesome. This team has a great history, and with Williams a great future.

First ever visit to the Palace on the Prairie. Have to say this place has the most electric atmosphere of any NCAA Div I football stadiums. We had a blast and enjoyed the game. Fans are very passionate but yet friendly towards others.
No issues getting in, security keeps the crowds moving. Recommend getting to the area two hours prior to kickoff to get parking, walk to the stadium and find your seats. Plus that gives you enough time to get food/drinks. The bleachers seats are wide enough, clearly labeled. Only complaint is that the rows are narrow but that's like most college football stadiums.
Concession prices are comparable to any top tier NCAA football team or professional football.
Highly recommend attending a game here. It's a great experience.

BEST Place to see a football game Hands Down. Or actually, HORNS DOWN!!!! Come early and do some tailgating or check out some the many awesome restaurants and bars on Campus Corner. You will have a great time hanging with friends, family and other Sooner fans. BOOMER!

First time at this stadium it was such a great time loads of fun! Very very packed the parking is insane we had to park like 9 blocks from the stadium and walk the whole way. Not complaining but still the parking is completely far fetched lol. Usually lots of walking involved!
OU actually won that game and if you are in the area or thinking of going I definitely recommend just dress accordingly and bring your walking shoes!
Shannon Carter — Google review
We had an incredible experience from before the game all the way until after!
We arrived early for some tailgating. The atmosphere was so much fun as everyone was getting ready to enjoy the game. We walked around the stadium and saw lots of neat statues and areas. Our kids got to take photos with the mascots that were walking around our area. The best part was watching the Pride of Oklahoma marching band playing to get everyone ready.
The sun was hot but the Sooners were hotter! The announcer did a great job of keeping everyone engaged and participating in helping the team win. We enjoyed watching the fireworks and Sooner Schooner celebrate after many of the touchdowns.
The food selection was reasonable and the prices were as expected. We really appreciated the water stations providing free water. We had clear plastic bottles with us to refill. And we did many times to stay hydrated.
It’s important to note that you can only bring clear bags of a certain size and no food or drinks into the stadium.
Leaving the stadium is normally busy with the rush of people walking out unless you have a good path to take. There are options to park further away and take shuttles to and from the game for less effort spent dealing with navigating traffic.
We love the Sooners and hope to go to many more games!

It's always a fantastic atmosphere on Saturdays at the Palace on the Prarie. If you have the opportunity to come to game in Norman do yourself a favor and do it.
Over the years the upgrades to the stands, scoreboard, and concessions have made the experience even better.
Parking sucks but it's to be expected and the concessions are stupidly overpriced but you are coming to a sporting event so you can't complain.

Stopped at OU to see the stadium of one of my favorite college teams as we did a southern US road trip. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to go inside the gates to see the field area, but enjoyed seeing the Heisman statues and statues of Switzerland and Stoops.
If anyone from OU reads this, I would suggest having tours of the stadium like LSU does of its stadium.

Just... FANTASTIC! Being from an area where we only have NHL I didn't really care to go to an OU game, especially for the money it costs. I had an opportunity to go to the stadium off season and it was breathtaking! I tried to imagine the hustle and sounds and energy of the full stadium. Just a great atmosphere and OK is so fortunate to have their gorgeous stadium on the OU campus

Great football experience and fun environment. If your backside doesn't like bleachers, bring a bleacher cusion or something small to sit on. I suggest small as you're packed in like sardines (at least in our section) on bleachers. Was fun, just a tight fit!
Quick note for first timers, learn from our mistake as first timers -- look at your football ticket to find the Gate # to enter. The gate # is not a suggestion, it's almost imperative that you use that gate if you don't want it to take 30-minutes to figure out how to get to your seat. We entered at the complete opposite side of the stadium and it was a hilarious debacle trying to figure out how to get to our seats.
Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History offers extensive displays showcasing the natural and cultural history spanning back four billion years, along with a diverse range of artwork. The museum is particularly appealing to children as they can enjoy exploring dinosaur exhibits, observing various animals and engaging in hands-on activities. Additionally, visitors can benefit from extra educational activities on weekends and special offers for members. The facility features clean restrooms and an elevator for those with mobility needs.
So much fun here!!
Our kids love all the dinosaurs, animals and hands on activities. So much to read and learn here. We've been so many times and still haven't read it all.
Extra activities on the weekends, at least once a month and special offers for members are available, too! They have clean bathrooms & their staff are kind and helpful as well! (There is an elevator for those that need it too, woo!)
We highly recommend Sam Noble Museum!

This was a lot of fun, and the best part was meeting Nance, who, after telling her it was our first time visiting, gave us a tour in the bone section. She had personally been on several digs herself along with years at some of the best museums. She was knowledgeable and funny and made the experience that much more fun.
Besides that, the rest of the museum was awesome and educational, and we had an excellent time. Can't wait to go back with the kids.

We drove down from Tulsa to visit with our 3 1/2 year old because he’s very into dinos right now. The museum itself is very nice and clean. Tons to look at but even more to read. If you’re a reader this is a great museum for you. There is a kids discovery room that was very hands-on and interactive - great for the kids to take a break and play. The gift shop is wonderful too, they even have some $1.50 dinosaurs & bugs which was a nice surprise as usually museum gift shops can be expensive. All in all it was a great museum & I wish I’d had more time to explore and read but my 3 year old was ready to move on pretty quickly so I think we will wait & try to visit again when he’s a little older. If we were local we would visit more often!

Amazing experience here with my children. Every exhibit fascinated my young kids and you could truly see their little brains absorbing all of the information. There is some thing here for every age and level of education and I’m really thankful that we visited. The staff , However, made our experience an absolute five-star experience. The people at the front desk were so welcoming and helpful, but the lady in the gift shop likely left us with such a great impression of the museum. She was so helpful in finding my children the stickers that they wanted, and going to look for shirt sizes for our youngest because he loved the design. I’ve never seen someone go above and beyond to make my family and my children feel like they were so special for just wanting to buy a T-shirt. Thank you for not only pouring into educating the community, spending so much time putting together these exhibits, but also hiring such great people to be the face of this amazing museum.

There was hardly anyone there and it’s a holiday weekend. My kids enjoyed the discovery center. There were family restrooms with baby changing stations which made diaper changes easy. Very spacious and lots of exhibits with interactive stations for toddlers and older children. They offer veteran and active duty discounts for admission. 3 and under were free.

It has lots of different sections there's an art section and a bunch of animal in nature sections there's also a store section where you can buy a bunch of different Little Things a gift shop. There's also a cave on Story 2 that you can go inside of it tells you about stalactites and stalagmites and a whole bunch of other things inside of case hanging from the top of the caves on the first floor there's a giant man with a statue of a man holding a spear that's pretending to be about to kill Mammoth.

There are so many great spectacles to view. I was also very impressed with how everything looked...This place makes the museum experience very exciting... I was drawing in front marble dinosaur that had to be about 20 feet tall.... That was awesome... I felt like a kid all over again while I was doing my grown up passion....It was an overall great experience for me....

Fantastic to have this nearby. Fascinating information about prehistoric Oklahoma. Give yourself plenty of time to read and learn.
This place really captures the essence of what it's about to travel on Route 66. A quick stop at roadside museum or attraction to gain a little knowledge and get a good photo op is at the heart of the Route 66 travel experience. The Seaba Station Motorcycle Museum fits this billing perfectly. The museum is located in a cool old service station. Lots of unique motorcycles especially if you are into motocross.
This is a fascinating place even for non-motorcycle enthusiasts because of the incredible history contained within and so perfectly laid out and labeled, topping it off is an out building purported to be the first plumbed toilet in the state of Oklahoma.

They have a really nice collection of motorcycles and such, that you may not see every day. There are also a lot of dirt bikes that most museums don't normally have a lot of. I viewed a lot of rare bikes that there can't be that many floating around out there.
It's too bad we didn't have more time to visit. The museum runs off a donation program. So be sure to help out the cause to keep this nice little museum going.

Thunderbird Casino is a long-lasting establishment providing various table games, slot machines, a lounge, a dining area and live weekend musical performances. The selection of slot machines is impressive while the beverages offered at the bar are affordable. Their grill serves delicious food with one of their specialties being catfish platter. However, whether they payout or not can be unpredictable as sometimes winning big is possible but other times $50 may only last for 10 minutes.
Pretty good slot machine selection, inexpensive bar drinks, and the grill has really good food! I love going out there! I came across this lady just randomly helping me out to understand how the promotion worked for the night. Good times. 😎😎

New Years Eve and their system is down! Cash only in machines. Place cash in machine... Play... Get ticket... Go to cashier cage... Cash out ticket... Go to another machine and place cash in to machine to play..... Repeat. The casino is to give away 2 vehicles tonight but the system is down. No chances to win the vehicles will be given. This is the night of the giveaway! What a Crock! Seems like just a ploy to get people in the building only to be disappointed and not have to give away anything. It was my first time there and we will never be back! We could not even get players club cards. I get offers for 50 dollars players credit every month from several casinos. I guess we will take our money to a more reliable establishment

It's fair they need some remodeling there are at least 3 sections it could be nicer if the food area is moved to the center even make it a patio eating event outside or closer so you could take food out and still be protected from the wind.

The parking lot was kind of neglected and I wasn't sure if I had parked in a handicap space or not since I couldn't read what was a square but not in the parking spot.
But I'm sure that the parking lot is on there list of things to remodel since they had just finished remodeling the casino and from what I was told they are remodeling the bar and restaurant.
The casino was very clean with lots of new games. Although some of my favorite games I like were either out of order or the buttons were broke. So I wasn't able to play the bet I wanted to play. That part was kind of frustrating.
I wasn't there long since my money went fast.

The Grand Casino Hotel and Resort is a luxurious facility that offers a variety of dining options as well as a casino, spa and rooftop pool. The hotel is located in downtown Oklahoma City and is within walking distance of several popular attractions.
This casino is always a lot of fun. More so when you get a machine that's hitting good, and that was exactly what happened here. Played for several hours until I decided to go "All in", but had a blast. Could have left $200 richer, but still had a good time with wife and friends. Ended up going to the bar and grill just outside the main casino downstairs, and had some great food. All in all, a great time.

The only places to eat are the Grand Cafe from 6 am to 2 pm, and the Sports bar.
Both the Grand Cafe and the Sports bar had good food, but on Monday night, the Sports bar didn't have a bar tender. A sports bar without a bar tender, really isn't a sports bar!
Everyone told us that all of the restaurants are closed because they can't get any employees. They provide great benefits, but still can't get any employees to staff the place. It's very unfortunate, because this would be a great destination resort, if all of their restaurants were open! Even the gift shop has a sign on the door that says, by appointment only. That's crazy!
We won't be back, until the restaurants open.

Make sure to use HotelTully.ᴄᴏm when booking your stay. This site will compare countless booking websites and normally will have prices much cheaper than others! Thank me later on! This place is the best rated in this area. I have been coming here for a long time. If you decide to stay here you for sure will love it I'm sure!
I stayed in my Tractor Trailer so I can't speak of the rooms. But I'm sure they are very nice. The whole place was well kept. The staff were awesome. PLENTY of parking for a big rig. I will definitely return! Thanks for a great evening out of the truck! I had a great time!

Probably the best casino in Oklahoma. From the outside it looks smaller than it actually is because it is probably the only two level casino in the state. Has an interesting little food court in place of the usual buffet, and a pretty nice sports bar with great and cheap pizza. The slots were not only loose, but there's a huge variety including some interesting classic games (still mostly bingo based though). The wheel of fortune game in the lobby is a treasure.

I've stopped here several times over the years and it's a beautiful casino however I've never had any luck here.. ate dinner at the sports bar and the food was delivered fast and was delicious.. service is excellent and the employees are extremely professional and nice.. plenty of truck parking is available even late at night.. just park in the back of the casino if you can't find a spot.. they also have a food court.. some guy next to me won $19,000.. good luck y'all..

It is a very good Casino. The facilities are nice and clean. The food court has a grand variety of foods from different regions of the world. The customer service was great. The Casino offers free drinks and ice cream to its guest.
They also offer Truck Parking... so this is a Truck Driver Friendly Casino. Excellent!
I would definitely recommend that you visit Grand Casino Hotel & Resort.

For me, three stars is about the highest rating a tribal casino can receive. Perhaps if they made slot machine information/stats publicly accessible, then a five star rating could happen. That said, Grand Casino is a very nice casino. Of all the Oklahoma casinos I've visited (I have been to quite a few), it has the look and feel that most resembles a Vegas casino. It's clean, not smokey, and if I was smarter and less greedy I could walk out of there a winner on most visits. The 45 minute drive (longer during high traffic times) is definitely worth it.

Nice size gambling facility with non smoking areas. Wide variety of games. Good sports bar and grill. They have a nice non- smoking hotel with room service, a pool on the second or third floor, a spa and exercise area. The attached casino has free soft serve ice cream along with fountain drinks and coffee and tea machines. Enjoyed my visit there.

The restaurant has really good food and the price was good just wish the hours were longer being open. The food court food isn't bad either. The Mexican food station is the best. Other than that have fun losing money. I never go thinking I'm going to strike it rich. Lol

Several weeks ago we spent three days in your beautiful hotel. We won a huge chunk of change too, playing the penny slots! Everyone (employees) was so friendly. Our room was immaculate! The casino itself is awesome! The restaurants were outstanding! The free ice cream each night was delicious and appreciated. Wish someone had been working in your gift shop the 3 days we were there, but it is what is. We have no complaints whatsoever! Your rates are better than other hotels in the area.

Highly recommend this and Choctaw nation if i could give Riverwind a no star review i would. This is a beautiful establishment with several dining options my only complaint is they aren’t open 24 hours except for Fri and Saturday which blows if your staying at the hotel. One thing i do like about the hotel is check out is at 11 but you can simply tell them you want to check out at noon and get that extra hour no charge

I used to love this casino. Now never win. It feels rigged. Another lady and i were winning about a year ago . She was up 1600.00 I was up 500.00 as soon as I pulled my players card out of the machine...it immediately said DISABLED CALL ATTENDANT! That's rigged. It was hitting for an hour now curiously disabled. I've lost last 3x I've played ..beautiful place tight slots

The rooms are spacious and nice. Well equipped. They have a large buffet open varying days and hours. It's ok. Their coffee shop has above-average food and a few items are excellent. Service could be better. Their Asian cuisine restaurant has closed and will not reopen. Their signature restaurant is a Brazilian steakhouse and it is absolutely outstanding. Reasonably well equipped 2-story gaming area. Machines are Indian tight but do give decent play. A few of them break down a lot but I am told this will be addressed around August 2023. Small high limit area. Nice and well run poker room with tournaments Wednesday and Thursday evenings.

It's a fancy hotel and a casino how could you not love it! Now I've got to admit that their service is typical of any casino it's poor and you can't get a drink unless you're lucky enough to have a bar or a self-serve location. But I don't go to a casino to drink I do that at home. It's a good place to have a good time with your friends.

They’ve really upgraded the place over the last year. I like how they still have a lot of older machines. They also have a large non-smoking area upstairs that seems to go unnoticed. They should really put signs up guiding people to the area that don’t smoke.

I did not stay at hotel.
I met a friend for lunch at the food court, which I love. I've tried the pizza, Chicken Alfredo, and the Mexi Bowl. All of it was very good. The lime rice at the Mexican food section is absolutely amazing. I had never had lime rice before, decided to try it and was so glad I did.
Casino is very clean and lots of games. I didn't come home a millionaire but that's gambling!!!

Great parking, nice place, restaurants were mediocre
only game I played was roulette 70-80 or more chip in 1-36 and 10 times in a row it hit a number with no chips or 1 chip….? Odd???
They charge a .50 per play on live games, like the house is not making any money after paying out barely anything to anyone. 🤷♂️

Driving cross-country, I mainly stayed in the major chains, but wanted to give the casino resort a shot. Turned out it was a great value with a really nice room. I'm not a gambler, but I walked through the casino to get to the restaurants. A little loud and smoky, but whatever. Unfortunately, I was there on a Sunday or Monday and dining options were more limited than usual. Even so, the grilled chicken sandwich was really nice and very reasonable. While I'm not a drinker anymore, the alcohol prices were extremely reasonable as well
David Kominsky — Google review
Truck stop was the usual place. Not bad, just a truck stop. The food I got from the casino was less than I was hoping for. $20 for a meager few slices of brisket and 5 slices of their version of BBQ sausage, baked beans and mashed potatoes on the side. The BBQ sauce tasted like it was half corn syrup and half tomato sauce with a few spices added. I definitely won't be getting that again.
The parking lot was very well lighted and easy backing. It makes a great place to spend the night. Maybe next time I'll try the sit-down restaurant in the casino

First time staying here and it was better than we were expecting. Very clean and excellent customer service from every employee we encountered. The food was also good although with our last minute planning we were unable to get into the steak house and spa, so make reservations ahead of time if you want to do either of these things. We didn't win big, but won enough to have 2 full evenings of game play. Prices were more reasonable than I have seen from a hotel casino in many years. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a weekend getaway.

The room was nice and clean. The bed was very comfortable. King size bed room, for two people. You only get two towels set (washcloth, hand and bath towel). If you want water bottles, you can buy them or bring them in.

I absolutely love this place. I lived in Oklahoma for more than a decade before I found out about it and now I can't wait to go back again. I had originally gone just to see the Egyptian Mummy, I didn't know they had so many wonderful objects to share. I even picked up a souvenir at the gift shop to remember my 1st visit to the museum. A little Egyptian cat figurine.

Not impressed whatsoever. Positives: Cute little place along the infamous Route 66. Lots of fun wine-oriented trinkets to buy. Friendly staff. Negatives: No place to sit while sampling. The woman serving did not seem to really know the wines. The prices are high. And we weren't really impressed with the wine. I didn't care for any of the varieties.

I don’t generally write reviews of places if it is a not so good experience. However I thought that it should be brought to the attention of the owner.
I live in the area of this winery however have never been in until today. It was the first stop of mine and my husbands impromptu road trip. I was pleasantly suprised when I walked in at the selection of glassware and other nice wine related items. The attendant behind the counter was involved with 2 customers who were there together and giving tastings. I took my time over every single item in the store in an attempt to not only check out merchandise but to also let them make a selection and get to a good place in their experience so I would not interrupt. When I was finished my husband and I made our way to the counter where the wine list was and stood waiting to be addressed. We waited, and waited, and waited, and waited, and waited. I’m sure you get the picture. The attendant finished up the gentlemans purchase and still did not turn her attention to us. She continued to speak with the 2 gentlemen completely ignoring us. I have worked plenty of positions in retail not to mention I have 3 children and i believe it is entirely possible to acknowledge and serve more than a couple people at once when there is not a heavy line. The least that could have been done was to engage with us. A simple, have you been here before? Would like a tasting? Can I help you find something?
Or even I will be with you in just a moment.
NOTHING. She only engaged with us when I made it a point during my shopping to ask her a question about a specific item.
Needless to say we walked out, wineless 🤷🏼♀️ Pretty dissapointing.
Found this token/coin while digging in my yard in Michigan. I’ve lived here over 20 years so It’s at least that old. Just thought you might find it interesting.

After years of seeing the sign for the "Shrine for Infant Jesus of Prague" when driving from OKC to Tulsa, we finally struck out on a day trip to go visit. I can't describe the beauty of the art work we saw there as well as the overall feeling of serenity walking the grounds. They have a great little gift shop and the people we met there were wonderful. We were also grateful to meet the Parish Priest (wish I got his name) who gave the Rosary and Statue of St. Michael we bought a blessing. Overall I highly recommend visiting. It's a little over an hour for us but we plan on going back soon to catch Mass.

The monuments, statues and fountains are beautiful. The little infant statue will surprise you in a variety of places around the premises.

+JMJ...Was blessed to visit this place of prayer and serenity twice when I was able to travel from Virginia to Arizona, June and October 2013. Truly a supernatural experience. My traveling buddy of June had visited once before. My own sentiments are that anytime spent in a Catholic Church, particularly, is an opportunity to be enveloped in the transcendental presence of God. God in the Presence of Jesus Christ, the Blessed Sacrament, and in the Word of God, Sacred Scripture. Whether there are people present are not, it is a time for contemplation of eternal life. It can also be an opportunity for those searching for the meaning of their temporal existence to just be in the solitude of the Church building. The Shrine also offers visitors and those who call themselves pilgrims a glimpse into a devotion which stresses the need to acknowledge the childhood of Jesus. The display of the different outfits made for the sacred image of the Child Jesus brought to my mind moments in the life of Jesus during the Liturgical seasons: Red in remembrance of Jesus's Passion; Purple that should stir thoughts of repentance and reparation for offences committed against God (Lent and Advent); White for the thoughts of pure Love and devotion for God and neighbor; Rose for the joy knowing of God's love and mercy. Visiting the Shrine can be a moment of spiritual renewal and an introduction to the supernatural. It is my prayerful hope that others will be drawn to this place of spiritual nourishment.

Christians do Not do shrines or idols. But they would know that if they didn't remove that commandment from. Gods ten commandments. The 10 commandments from the KJV forbids idols and objects. And also tells us the 7th day (saturday) is the sabbath. This place is an abomination. And CHRIST is the mediator for humans. And is our salvation. Not mary! Mary is not alive. How can this place have high reviews. Catholicism is baptized paganism. The picture of a woman holding a baby started from semiramis and tammuz!

Loved It! I Mean, There's Just Really Not Enough Monuments To Pay Homage To Infant Jesus These Days. Adult Jesus, Yes ... But Infant ... Once In a Lifetime Experience!
Interactive kids' exhibits include a mini-hospital, a courtroom, an art studio & a climbing maze.
The museum was really cool, and better than we expected. We went on a snow make up day.. My older son recommended it when he worked for a daycare in high school, and they went for a field trip.
Admission is $10 for 3+ which I thought was reasonable. From OKC it's a bit of a drive, but it's well worth it!. You can bring in your own food and drinks. They have a cafeteria to use for eating and also has a snack bar if you didn't bring anything along. The kids probably could have spent all day there.
My kids' favorite was the water exhibit and the auto mechanic exhibit where they could pretend to fix a car.
The train ride was fun - $2/person extra, but the kids loved it.
We saw almost everything. We saved some to go back again.
Hope you enjoy it like we did!

This was the best when I was a kid and it's still the best place ever. Perfect for field trips. I was with my daughters class plus another class from her school. Then there was 2 other schools there as well but it was in Jo was over crowded. There was plenty of room to check out the different exhibits and when it came time for lunch there was plenty of room at the tables.
Almost every profession in some way or another is represented at the museum and the kids are able to pretend that they are that person: firefighter with a small fire truck,dress up gear, pole and slide from firehouse to truck - grocery store with different sized carts where you can shop for food and household products then you can be the cashier and check out people and a stocker to put the play groceries back on the shelves - back of an ambulance and front of an airplane - mini courtroom - a nursery - dentist office - mechanics shop - world news room - Ronald McDonald character and friends room - a small neighborhood outside with roads, street signs, and and a park with a playground - an outdoor castle maze - and so much more. We were there for about 3-4 hours and could have easily spent another 3 hours there.

My two year old granddaughter lived this place. There are so many activity stations. She hoped around from one thing to another. Operating an auto repair shop, shopping in a grocery store. Paying on a fire truck. Being a pilot. Just about anything you could think of they have.
A great place to bring your kids for their birthday or a rainy day. They will love it.

We had the best time at Jasmin Moran's Children's Museum and I enjoyed it as much as the kids! Every section has multiple things to do and they are big enough where multiple kids can explore each section at the same time. It was interesting to see all the different subjects covered by these sections.
I was surprised at how inexpensive it was to get in with 3 kids and 2 adults. You cant get that much fun for that price in very many places these days. If you can, be sure to take the train ride. There's a gift shop for toys & educational items and a mini-restaurant if you get hungry or thirsty.

This place is so much bigger than I expected and has hours and hours of things to do. There were plenty of staff members walking around to help and clean up. There are exhibits and play area both inside and outside, as well as a large eating area to bring lunches and a kitchen that was open with a few kid-friendly food options.
Our personal highlights were the castle maze, train ride, water play area, and climbing area.
My recommendation is to visit when the heat is bearable... there is plenty to do outside, but limited shaded areas to play or rest.
It would also be nice if some of the exhibits were upgraded and added to... several of the areas (the classroom and grocery store are two examples) seemed to be new and up-to-date 25 years ago and haven't been touched since. Even with that, though, every exhibit was fun!
One thing I want to add is that our youngest left his water bottle in the museum and we weren't passing back through the area until four days later. The staff found the water bottle and kept it for us until we returned. We were very thankful for that! It shows they really care.
Camp host, park ranger checked on me 2x very friendly. Had a great overnight getaway. The water, "outdoor concert" nature provided & peaceful evening & morning were healing. Oak leaf trail offered great views of lake. Showers require quarters didn't know that, so heads up!

The camp host was friendly and helpful, even bringing us a hammer to get our tent stakes in the ground and driving me up to his spot in his golf cart to get firewood and ice and back to our spot. Swim area has a steep concrete ramp that can get slippery, but we didn't have any problems with our water shoes. $12/night, $5/8 pieces of wood, $3 bag ice.

One of the better scenic areas. This place has it all. I'm so happy my brother found this place while working in the area. RV sites, good restrooms, fishing, swimming, hiking, history, several lighted boat ramps, wonderful photos. There is a gift shop/store near the scenic overlook. Just be careful because there are no barriers or guard rails. If you take young kiddos or pets be sure to watch their steps closely.

Great place to camp. It was very peaceful and clean. The restrooms appeared to be cleaned daily which is always great. The staff came by to collect and was very friendly and professional. I stayed at hickory point in the first spot on the left when you pull in and had access right to the water. As you can see in the pictures the rocks along the shore line were a great place to stand and fish from.

We always love going here to swim or fish. Has a designated swimming area with bathrooms and boat dock. There is also a fishing dock on the other side of the boat dock. Never have extreme issues with the wildlife. Turtles are curious, but we have never had one attack. There are no grilling areas at this swimming area, but if you go further into the park, there is camping, grilling, playground, and showers. Great place to bring the whole family.

Nice sprawling lake that offers tent & rv camping, hiking trail, boats, kayaking and fishing.
Shore edge is a mix between beach, marsh and rocky mini cliffs.
Bathrooms are scarce and very outdated, camping and recreation areas were pretty small and close together- things will get crowded easily but if camping with a group of others this spot would be ideal
Plenty of trees and shade, good terrain
Decent amount of trash, cans, glass on the ground - no sign of a trash receptacle or dumpster near any of the spots where you would need them.
Only found one hiking trail and one scenic overlook.

The park is large and nice. The RV campground was one of the best in Eastern OK: spacious, treed with full hookups! The lake is not a nice or senior compared to other area lakes and there wasn't any nice, easy access beach (though after wading through muddy water, there is a decent one). There were a number of nice trails and a cute little nature center. The gift store could use a little more stuff.

We got the humming bird yert, small but ok, gets really hot inside even with ac on during the day, and cold at night. Had mice getting in our food inside, had spiders, the beds where hard as rocks. The yert is not worth the money, but we had a private aera around it, put up some tents. Lots..... of snakes in the water and the water was real nasty 😒. The Scenery was really pretty. Over all about a 4 out of ten.

As full-time RVers, we would give this Campground a very high rating. Our site had 50 amp service and water. There was a dump station close by. We used Google Maps to pick a campsite that would fit our rig. It was at least 80 ft long. Easy in and out. There are plenty of roads for bicycling and a decent mountain bike trail.

We came for the hiking but there is much more to do! There are bike rentals at the office, a marina and the hiking was good! I would definitely return to this park for more adventures!

Lake Eufala State Park was a fun experience. It has something for the whole family. We took in some of the trails and then skipped a bunch of rocks down at the lake. There are playgrounds, disc golf, and park areas to cook out at. You can even stay in some of the yurts they have available to rent.
It was pretty clean, but we did find some trash in the trail. Also, the hiking is pretty flat, but has some nice wooded areas to explore. Take a fishing pole if you go!

Loved the stay at the park it was clean well maintained and the park guest road around frequently to make sure everything was in good order. Was unhappy in hearing that the fishing dock is being turned into a bar

Overnight on our way to Colorado. Beautiful campground. Thought it was a bit strange we would have had to share water with the campground next to us, however no one was there so it all worked out.

I've been going here since I was around 6 years old and I will be 54 October 2024. The park is so beautiful the amenities are wonderful and I adore the "Love Lock Garden and Love Lock Fountain"!! Some of my fondest childhood memories are fishing on the inside dock. The first time I ever saw a blue cat it was caught on the dock and it was record size!!!

Lake Eufaula is huge and really beautiful. We enjoyed their visitor's center. There were many t-shirt and sticker choices. They also had great gifts or souvenirs for kids.
We also checked out the nature center nearby. The little nocturnal animal section was cute.
The beach near the nature center was really nice.

We stayed in the Dogwood Loop, site 53, in a 38’ 5th wheel. We had full hookups w/ 30amp elec. It is a nice, clean quiet park. Nearly all sites are extremely close, are Y shaped, with a shared driveway. All are asphalt. Picnic tables on concrete slabs, fire-pits at each site. The laundry room has 2 washers/dryers with 1 washer out of order. Outside the bldg is a covered patio area & the entire underside of the roof is covered in hornet nests. There are a few, easy hiking trails.

Nice cozy place for family retreat. Stay in Yatt is comfortable and pleasant, well maintained outdoor and park . Access to lake is steps away
Large state park offering camp sites, picnic shelters, playgrounds, golf courses, trails & stables.
I can't say enough good things about this park. I'm always camping though. I will give huge kudos to those who take care of the restrooms because people are nasty and leave horrible messes that they clean daily. THANK YOU!! Don't forget, you have to pay to park for day use, and any extra vehicles at camp sites have to pay to park as well. It is enforced and he comes by several times a day. It's worth it to keep the park clean!!

We used the park as a pit stop on a road trip. It had lots of amenities but was hardly being used. Heads up - the nature trail is not like most park nature trails, it had real hike like conditions. Not a long hike, but rocky and overgrown. We enjoyed taking our 16mo old on it but he couldn’t walk it himself like we anticipated.

This park has alot to offer- friendly service at the office, great hiking trail, marina- (Area 51), landing strip and golfing!

We camped at Arrowhead in Turkey Flats campground site 10. Beautiful area with good-sized spots with space. It's a short drive down to the water, and you can barely see the water through the trees, but we have a very nice weekend for our 1st trip there. The pads are nice and level. Full hookups, including sewer. We were able to drive down to the water to put our kayaks in. It was spring break week, so a few kids running around, playing but not bothering anyone. Lots of deer. Will stay again.

I've been going here for 2 decades, camping, fishing, hiking, horse riding and so many more things to do, they do now charge a fee for parking but it helps the park. The bathrooms with showers are maintained and open all year long and the area gets patrolled hourly. Go enjoy the great outdoors.

Spent a week at the Lakeview RV camping area in July 2019 and we had an absolute blast. Kids loved the nearby playground and swimming in the lake. The grills and tables on the RV sites were a bit older/rusted out/unlevel, but that didn't detract very much from the camping experience.

Easy access off of highway 69. We only stayed one night passing through, but will definitely be back. Slots 1-20 have sewer hook ups, the rest appear to just have water and electrical. The on line booking system does not give the length of the sites, but all appeared to have ample room for our 41 foot 5th wheel. If you've paid on line you can follow the signs straight to the Campground and skip checking in at the office. Very clean park.
Gambling club with slot & table games, live entertainment, TV sports & a grill with karaoke.
This place is exciting and fun. If you want the casino experience in the middle of Oklahoma, this is a good place to go. A wide variety of machines, free soft drinks and even has a bar/restaurant in the back that serves decent pub grub.

If there was less stars I would give it to this place on there game play only, because that is why people go there. However the employees that work in the casino are super nice and accommodating. If you want to go to a place to play and relax have a good adult time this is not the place to go unless you choose not to play the games. The games will just eat your money with no regard. I’ve never played at a casino and had this bad of luck!

Drug addicts and drunks are a real problem at this location, Beware, especially in the evening. I've encountered panhandling right at the front door of this place, it's confusing to me that they would allow this.
Again drug addicts are a real problem at this casino, it's disgusting and can and will take the fun out of your night. We are regular patrons and this is a continuous issue at this location. Staff is great, games are ehhh...winning is rare.....food is a not worth the price unless you have comps.....dope heads a plenty.

Good casino for a small town. No roulette, which we were disappointed. Heavy on the smoking inside, it made my eyes hurt. Clean drinking area. Great 80 cent machines
Delicious sandwiches. Had the prime rib and hubby had a brisket sandwich. If I lived here I would be here once a week for a sandwich. Probably one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. They also carry homemade cheeses which looked delicious and all kinds of specialty foods.

We stopped at Lovera’s on the way to Arkansas after reading great reviews online. It didn’t disappoint. This is a destination spot that is worth a visit. Be sure to tell them if it’s your first time and you can sample their homemade cheese and sausage. This is an Italian market but they have a great sandwich counter in the back! The muffuletta is delicious and MORE than enough to share. Be sure to check out some of their unique pastas, sauces, and other items while you’re there too! Beautiful outside area to enjoy lunch as well.

Owner and employees are friendly. Sausage in deli or refrigerated is off the charts good. Several sauces and cheese to choose from. The sausage and sauce don't overpower you with oregano like most Italian food has become. I shop here once a week on average

Small place heaped up with shelfs and and refrigerators on the sides. Everything, you can find in traditional italian deli - cheese, meat, pasta, pasta sauces, italian cookies etc. Besides that, the deli selling meat cuts and sandwiches.
The two most important corners - at the front (pay counter) and another on the back - sandwichemaker counter. There is not really traditional NYC sandwiches but with local substation. For example, there is not meatball sandwiches but brisket sandwich.
The sandwiches very good. Wouldn’t say the best, but apparently you wont find something better around. Apparently, worth to visit. Just try to avoid desserts - tiramisu is cinnamoned soggy ball with chocolate powder on top.

Loved this place! Picked up grocery items to make homemade pizza on first visit and noticed all the sandwich options in deli so came back on way out of town and tried the Longhorn brisket sandwich and wife had the Batta Bing sandwich and we both thought the sandwiches were excellent! Also had some housemate potato salad and it was really good as well. Very cozy little Italian market and deli. Have nice outside patio for dining as well.
Shelby Hanna — Google review
Friendly welcome and very inviting. No pressuring and there's a lot of every little thing for such a small shop. There is also a hot deli in the back. The sandwiches are amazingly scrumptious! My favorite was the one with Brisket and had a sweet savory BBQ sauce on toasted flat bread. Then following the muffuleta. Both sandwiches are different from eachother but also very tasting! They have a variety of cheeses too and even some that were made from them! Shop also sells pre-made Italian meals that you can make it at home. The aroma from the food smells yummy and take your time to look around for spices, snacks, groceries,and anything you would like to add to your kitchen flavors. I am definitely going back again when I'm in town. Also, you can purchase non-hot food items with your EBT card.
We usually make a weekend out of McGee twice a year. We love this little hidden gem. The water is clean and perfect and the huts are great to get away and they have a fireplace and heat and air unit but no bathroom but they have one a short walk near by. The hiking trail is always fun. Huts are $50 a night also.

1st time and will definitely be back. Very well maintained, clean, quiet and peaceful smaller park. RV sites are flat and treed enough so you have some privacy. Bathrooms clean. Really tremendous terrain and rock formations. We fished off the dock and caught some good sized sunfish ( we catch and release). The office staff are super friendly and helpful. No ice or worms at office but there is a small store just outside the park entrance. A couple of local boys sell firewood from a self serve stand in front of their home about a mile from the gate- $5 for 10 pieces.

POSITIVES: Amazing trails. The rocks are enormous. The area beautiful. The river is amazing.
NEGATIVES: The trails are not blazed. that is a horrible thing for a state park ESPECIALLY with no cell service and in middle of nowhere. I have gps based apps and took a picture of the trail map and got lost.
The entire cemetery is well kept and easy to navigate. Showman’s Rest is fascinating and their creativity still appears in the stones and engravings.
Far more interesting than I thought it would be.

The Endangered Ark Foundation offers a unique experience to interact with retired circus elephants. Visitors can feed, love on, and take pictures with the elephants after an educational presentation. The foundation also provides covered wagon rides for feeding the elephants and has a gift shop offering elephant-themed items. Additionally, there are cabins available for overnight stays at varying prices. Accessible options are provided for those with difficulty walking, making it inclusive for all visitors.
A really neat experience for the entire family. I’m understanding that this organization features some of the most elephants in North America! Pricing for the Christmas event was $25/adult, infants entry fees were waved. Seasonal decorations ans music for Christmas were highlighted throughout the tent… We enjoyed the overall experience in the tent and outside. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Thank you

We had a great time. My daughter loved getting to interact with the elephants. We went during an open house and it was very affordable. I paid ahead of time for most things but I still paid more when I got there because I couldn’t resist giving her more experiences with the elephants. Already looking forward to our next visit.

Can't say enough wonderful things about this place. We did a private tour (my husband's Christmas present) and it was absolutely incredible. Christian and Tony were so knowledgeable and really made the tour alot of fun. Getting up close and personal with a majestic Asian Elephant is such an amazing experience. We spent time with the beautiful and sweet Delrita. We got to feed her and pet her, and my husband got to check this off of his bucket list. We also got a painted footprint that I can't wait to frame. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone to go visit. We had all ages in our group and everyone had a blast. We plan to go back in the spring.

Our 4.5 year old is in LOVE with elephants. For Christmas this year, we decided to do more of an experience vs. gifts, so we took a short trip and did a private elephant tour.
It was such an incredible experience. Our son was so excited, and to see him get to enjoy the elephants up close and personal was such a joy as a parent.
We got to watch some demos, pet the elephants, and feed them. We got to keep Delrita's footprint as a keepsake!
We were extremely happy with our experience, and you can tell everybody who works for truly cares about the elephants.

Called on weekend to book a tour and left message. Did not get a call back as promised but made the trip to Hugo Monday.
Found that there is a disconnect between using the internet or having any flexibility of showing up in person. Only saw one employee and found it was almost impossible to accomplish much in person. Left disappointed as it was spring break in Texas. Spent the rest of the day at Beaver Bend Safari park instead.

Nine of us stayed in two cabins, which were neat, but a little cold at night. A space heater was in each room, and I turned ours on, but our daughter's family didn't realize what it was.
Our kids are all 30 something, but acted like 5 year olds when we told them that we were having an elephant visit us for breakfast.
The next morning, I looked up, and here came the elephant, strolling down the road with her handler. I cajoled to the kids and it was instant excitement.
She visited each cabin. There are only three, so you need to book early.
There was a stack of bananas on the table of each cabin, and she enjoyed eating them all.
She then posed for a family picture.
Really cool stuff.
They do want you out of the cabins by 10:00, so we had to pack in a hurry.
Afterwards, we went to Mount Olivet Cemetery to see the stones of the old circus performers, along with rodeo greats Lane Frost and Freckles Brown.

Kind of expensive but feeding elephants has to be expensive too. $50 for adults, $25 for kids. Elephants are most to all retired circus elephants. Not much walking involved. Short walk from parking to indoor facility. Those who have difficulty walking, they will shuttle you to the facility free. After presentation, you ride on a covered wagon ride to feed the elephants & then back to the beginning. Very educational & informative. You get to feed some, love on them, & take your picture with them. Cabins are available and prices vary depending on demand and day of the week ($300+ to $500 a night). Gift shop is available to get a shirt or even elephant art.

Don't go with too much expectation in the comparison of France Eiffel tower model. It's nice and good to see the Tower with minimum height. While seeing in the night it was good feel. While we going around 8PM, it was empty and we have free time to spend and enjoy with family. While returning from the Talimena Scenic drive towards Dallas one of the Spot to visit and spend few hours. Nearby Veteran Museum was very beautiful and well maintained.

If you do, then it's worth it.

Free attraction next to a Veteran's Memorial (also free), and the tower is the iconic symbol of Paris, TX. So if you are going to visit, it's definitely worth a stop and photo op. Kept very clean.

The Eiffel Tower isn't the best part of this exhibit. It cool to see the mini version but what I lived most is the Memorial to all of our Veterans from the past wars. I was here years ago when they were just building the memorial. I finally got back to see a somewhat finished product. As long as we have War's they will be taking contributions to add on to it. It is a true Texas tribute to those who have their all.

The tower is a great attraction to visit while in Paris, TX.
This attraction brought me and my Dad for the "fun" of the story.
The "Memorial Park" it stands next to is one of the best I've seen.
As Veterans, the repect and thanks from these memorials, in cities across the country are always appreciated. The names, are each given time and attention as we pay respects as well as reflect on commitments.
Visit the tower and pause for a moment to walk through the Memorial.
