We had a return visit to Norman after many years. This museum was on our list and we were glad not…read moreto miss it. The outdoor sculptures caught our eye, but I wondered where the Jimenez mustang was only to find it installed in a gallery inside. First on my list was the Frankoma exhibit. Wonderful. I learned about the few pieces I have. Then the exhibit of the art of the Southwest and the Weitzenhoffer Collection displayed in recreations of their rooms. Well done university museum.

Worth noting: from the photographs, the art museum is getting reviews on this page for the natural history museum which is a few blocks away. It, however, is also fantastic and needs to better promote that it has the largest dinosaur fossil on exhibit in the United States. Bottom line: both museums are exceptional. Staff are fantastic. If I only had time to visit one, it would be the art museum but that is only due to personal preference. If you have time, stop in on both.

Parking out from was free and abundant. It was also super inexpensive and I highly recommend it to anyone passing through the area.

Wow, what a cool place!…read more We've seen billboards for this on 35 every time we head up to OKC for a regatta so we decided to visit on one of our trips. I wasn't expecting much, and actually lowered my expectations when I arrived and saw the boring building that looks like it belongs in any strip mall, but the displays were pretty awesome. You could spend days here. The number of different skeletons was staggering and they're organized nicely, with some funny Easter eggs in the displays. Well worth a visit for kids or adults.

If I lived within an hour or so of the Skeletons Museum of Osteology in Oklahoma City, OK, I would…read moreeasily become a member. My daughters and I visited here on July 25, 2025. Adult admission was $14 while child tickets were $12 each. It was nothing short of amazing. There were at that time over 450 real animal (including homo sapiens) bones donated from nature preserves, gardens, aquariums, and rehabilitation centers (per the brochure) I was given. We drove in a bit later than I anticipated, so we spent only about an hour here, but we could have easily spent hours reading all the facts and immersing ourselves into an extremely wide variety of skeletons. Afterwards we stopped by the gift shop where the friendly staff waited for us and others to finalize our choices. I got this super cute "Indiana Bones Temple of Tuna" sticker ($3.99) for my laptop. That design was on other items too. This is the only museum in the US dedicated solely to skeletons. And it just keeps growing. Huge fan!

Was a little apprehensive about visiting after the recent negative press, but we had free tickets…read morefrom a charity auction for Hilltop clinic and thus we were locked in to pay a visit regardless. Museum hours are 9 AM to 4 PM and we leisurely drove in at 10 AM on a Thursday thinking that would be more than enough time to experience all they have to offer. Boy, were we wrong! Started with the indoor experiences in the Main Street area spending a minimum of 15 minutes to a maximum of 45 minutes per room(could easily have been more if we weren't trying to experience the whole thing, FOMO). Our favorites were the bubble factory(kids can encase themselves into a giant bubble!) and the grocery store with a pizza oven. Once we moved on from Main Street, we went to Explorer's Hall where there's a faux camping area, real life airplane cockpit, climbing wall, sand area with dinosaur fossils, and aquarium where we spent close to an hour. Broke for lunch at the cafe there where the food is terrible but edible(which we were expecting so no points lost there). Orders are placed thru an app, which didn't work for us due to poor signal so ordered at the front desk instead. Explored upstairs afterward, which had a STEM area which was the most enjoyable place for our 7 year old. Compressed air pipes, kinetic energy ball machines, bed of nails etc. Our 4 year old went to Roessler Hall downstairs, which had a large slide and water mill play area that kept her occupied for some time. Finally, we went to the outdoor exhibits which are fairly sizable in their own right. We started off with a train ride that leaves at the top of every hour. It's a good way to get a feel for everything offered outside(especially when the weather is hotter) to help pick and choose what's worth doing. There's playground areas, a sensory garden, walking trail/pond among other things. Overall, the visit was above my expectations and I would come back again for a day trip!

You can take your lunch inside and they have a big cafeteria where they will hold it until you're ready to come and eat. Or you're welcome to leave the facility and go have lunch and come back as long as you have your wristband on. They have the coolest interactive play stations throughout and they change periodically so it's not the same the next time you go back. So so much fun!

I've been to the FAM 4 times and find something new to appreciate each visit. The museum itself is…read morewonderfully designed. My favorite area is the "original stories" shown on a massive wrap around screen -- complete with rock shaped seats. From there you follow a timeline of significant moments in indigenous history. The children's wing has come so far in the last few years and has a ton of interactive options for kids and adults alike. A note about accessibility: The FAM does an amazing job not only being ADA compliant but going above and beyond. Audio and visual portions have physical text or captions for those who need it. Exhibit videos also display timers in the lower corner. There are several "fire pit" seating areas throughout that allow for folks to rest. These are also all wheelchair accessible.

Of course the artwork and artifacts are beautiful but what really got me was the mood. This place is QUIET. Not in a sterile don't touch anything way (but yeah, also don't touch anything), but with the stories that are told on the video, or through the curated spaces. It's contemplative and deeply respectful. This is NOT your typical museum where kids are sprinting around screaming. It's calm. And somehow, that calm extends even to the children's area. The Family Discovery Center is EXCEPTIONAL. Kids can climb, build, and explore hands-on educational stations for hours. There are interactive games, and activities that teach caring for our world which is the theme "We are all Connected." I really enjoyed the videos that detailed how the first Americans believed males and females were formed, I wish they had the animated video in a book format for purchase. Come spend a few hours here and take the time to reflect.
