    First Oklahoma Fire Station built in 1869
    Britt C.

    This review is long overdue. Established in 1967, this firefighter museum boasts artifacts from the London Fire Brigade and a dozen fully restored firetrucks. Among its attractions is a captivating wall adorned with over 7000 fire patches collected from various locations. We were so impressed that we even brought along a couple of patches to contribute to their collection. Our visit was thoroughly enjoyable, and we spent a considerable amount of time exploring the exhibits. We highly recommend it, especially for families with children who are sure to love it too. The admission prices are family-friendly: adults are six dollars, seniors are five dollars, children aged 6 to 12 are three dollars, and children under three enter for free--truly unbeatable value. We're eagerly looking forward to our next visit. Make sure to check out their little store with merchandise. We left with a bag full. 4/13/24

    Kids stuff galore

    Had a day off with the kids, took the 10yo, 9yo and 5yo o the museum. It's a smaller museum but is done so well. You can see equipment from 1800s till now. They show the horse drawn carriages, have great explanations of everything and helpful staff to answer questions and tell great stories. One of the rooms is full of trucks for the kids and adults to ooooh and ahhhh over. Also includes evolution of fire extinguishers, plus hats, badges and patches from all over. They have a small store area and a kids play area with crayons, toys and Lego. Would highly recommend.

    A few cool Fire trucks to climb on

    Nice museums for the kids, they have a few big old fire trucks outside and a decent play scape so the little ones can run around

    Do you enjoy the thrill of learning Oklahoma history? Specifically Firefighter history in the Sooner state? Or do you need a place to host a birthday party? If so, then the Oklahoma Firefighter museum is a must visit! My friend recently rented out the museum to host and celebrate his son's first birthday. Our party of 30 adults and children roamed the museum in-between the celebration. We were allowed to bring our own food, drinks (non-alcoholic) and games. The museum staff provided plenty of chairs and tables. They even supplied trash bags for our mess. We were also pulled up our truck to the rear entrance to seamlessly pack everything. Afterward leaving the museum the kids enjoyed the playground on the museum grounds and destroyed the birthday pinata. For those seeking to visit the museum for non-birthday celebrations the admission costs are as follows: Adults $5.00 Seniors (55 and above) $4.00 Child (Age 6 to 12) $2.00 Children under age 6 are FREE!! Oklahoma Firefighters and their families are also FREE! DISCOUNTS to out-of-state firefighters (families not included), military members and groups of 10 people or more. Given the history and friendly customer service its safe to say the Oklahoma Firefighter museum is a hidden gem often overlooked by the zoo, Remington park, and omni-plex.

    The mural on the main wall is awesome, and there is a lot of old fashioned fire fighting equipment.

It is very good use for winter time. The tunnel protect you from severe weather or cold wind. The tunnels system link the commercial area, shopping, banking, restaurants, parking garage. Basically you can use it as a walk tunnel to connect all business. There are several tower in downtown that connects the tunnels. Many downtown people use it as walking path for restaurants during lunch time. We got into the tunnel through the Arvest building. We took the elevator to LL level to parking garage below the building, then followed the red painted path to enter the green tunnel. The tunnel divided into colors system. Each color represents different zone and art area. We saw many historic picture and art at tunnels. Visit time take about one hour. Th

There were two photos that, taken together, don't seem believable as described. According to the captions, one was taken of OKC April 22, 1889, and the next on May 13, 1889 - just 3 weeks later. Not only has an entire city appeared in 3 weeks, but additional rail lines, and an outhouse added in the foreground. What really seems implausible, though, is a massive pile of dirt in the first photo has disappeared 3 weeks later, with no sign it was ever there - even the grass has grown back perfectly. In three weeks. I'd love to know how the dates were authenticated. We can learn a lot from our elders, so I really enjoyed the quotes and photos of people who had made it to be 100 years old. We entered through a door in a parking garage, but there's an escalator right up front in the BancFirst building that's probably easier to find. I'm attaching photos.

    Wow!!! What an amazing experience! Right here in Oklahoma City we have a cocktail riverboat cruise…read more The location is off Lincoln close to the Devon boathouse! Plenty of parking and very accessibility to riverboat. I purchased tickets online and arrived 10mins before take off. The boat wasn't crowded and seating was ample in an indoor air conditioned covered room. The bartender was at the back of the boat and drinks were inexpensive. It was a beautiful evening and everyone was friendly and courteous on the boat. Overall a great outing for me and my hubby. I'd love to come back for a girls evening out or with other couples... it was a good time!

    Oklahoma River Cruises did not disappoint! It was our first experience cruising the river and…read moredefinitely not our last! The Captain and First Mate were very friendly and knowledgeable. The weather was a bit gnarly but that only added to the experience. There was only one other couple besides our party of seven so social distancing wasn't a problem at all. Everyone wore masks and the boat was incredibly clean and sanitized between each cruise. It was AWESOME to watch the boat dock when they came to pick us up. The Captain and First Mate obviously work beautifully together as a team. We felt safe, we had a great time, learned some fun and interesting Oklahoma River facts and we're pleased with the value of the experience. We'll be back!!

    this is the only round barn located right on route 66…read more The barn is split into two sections, the second floor which is empty and where you can marvel at the architecture of the round ceiling, and the bottom where it serves as a museum and gift shop. When i first walked to the second floor, i was amazed and awestruck. i couldn't believe something like this existed, much less that it was located right on the historic route 66. I saw some holes which allowed sunlight in, and the i made a comment to my wife.... i wonder what happens when it rains. I guess they clean up the floor once the rain stops the next day, and you could smell the old wood. I really wish they could fix the roof and ensure this structure remains intact for years to come. As for the bottom, there are interesting trinkets and items for sale. Everything you buy here helps support the barn. Cool historic items to see inside. Apparently, this barn was rebuild roughly 40 years, since it collapsed simply due to age. While its looking a lot better, they definitely need more restoration on it for sure. There are some parking stops located right across the route 66, and more near the back of the barn. If you park right across the barn, you can walk over and take a picture of the Arcadia route 66 sign on the group.

    This is one of the Crown Jewels of Route 66 in Oklahoma…read more You know I'm gonna back up that claim. But first, did you know the longest stretch of still-drivable Route 66 is in Oklahoma? In the last few years I've driven on short parts of what remain of Route 66 in all the states it passes through westward, from Missouri to California. From what I've seen, no state celebrates the Mother Road better than Oklahoma. And the beautiful Arcadia Round Barn is one of the most memorable stops on Route 66 as it passes through Oklahoma. If the first thing you want to know is Why is the barn round?, you're going to find out inside. You'll learn that the earliest Round Barns were constructed by the religious group known as The Shakers. And you'll learn how much easier Round Barns are to build (requiring as few as two men), and how much more economical they are than rectangular barns. The barn has two levels. The top floor originally was used to hold feed, and has a built in door in the middle of the room so the feed could be gravity fed to the animals below. These days the top floor is empty, and is rented out for weddings and whatnot. The bottom floor is chock full of local history. The volunteers that run the Round Barn have created kind of a time capsule you can walk around in. There are artifacts collected over a hundred year time frame. Everything from a High School Graduating Class project that documented the lives of the area's earliest settlers, to the farming implements and household tools they used in their daily lives. In addition to all the vintage Americana, there are plenty of examples of work by local contemporary artists for sale, as well as the usual Route 66 souvenir items you see for sale at just about every stop along the highway. This was my second visit to the Arcadia Round Barn. This time I spent about a half hour walking through the place. I spent far longer on my first visit. After I had a good look around I struck up a conversation with the volunteer that was working that day. I was looking to buy some Route 66 stickers and she told me where to find them. They had just what I was looking for. I paid the lady and I was out the door. A minute later I was in my car, back on 66, headed for my next adventure. Mikey C says: Come check this place out! It's such a treasure!
