The art was incredible, and the staff was so friendly and welcoming. One of my favorite parts was the Andy Warhol room was so fun and such a cool experience! The grounds were truly breathtaking. We went with our clinical group and had the best time walking around and taking so many pictures inside and outside. Every corner felt picture-perfect. The gift shop had so many cute and unique items, and we couldn't leave without stopping by the Wildflower Café. Their lemonade was amazing! Such a wonderful experience. I would definitely go back again if I'm ever in Tulsa.

The Route 66 Historical Village is a fun and educational roadside stop that captures the spirit of…read moreAmerica's Mother Road. Located right off historic Route 66 in Tulsa, this open-air exhibit offers a nostalgic look at Oklahoma's rich oil and rail history. The highlight is the massive, vintage Frisco 4500 steam locomotive--perfect for photos and a hit with both kids and adults. There's also a historic red caboose, an old oil derrick that towers over the site, and a replica 1920s gas station that really gives you that classic Route 66 vibe. It's a quick but memorable stop, especially for families, history buffs, or anyone doing a Route 66 road trip. There are informative signs and plaques scattered throughout, so you get a nice mix of visuals and historical context. Bonus: it's completely free and open to the public, with easy parking. It's not a full museum experience, so don't expect to spend hours here--but for a fun 15-30 minute stop with great photo ops and some genuine Oklahoma charm, the Route 66 Historical Village is definitely worth it.

The oil strike is started at 1901. The tower is the landmark can be spotted very far away along the route. Although there buildings next to the oil rig, but they are not open and no restroom facilities. There is an old train park there. Same as the train, there is a truck park there too. Both can be the photo opportunity. The visit take less than 15 minutes.

One side of the room, tickets were being handled while in the middle, you get your drinks & then you move over to the other side of the place, that's where all of the food vendors were at (all local & delicious). In the middle of it all, along with a really big staircase, there was a DJ. Upstairs (during Big Bite) there was an exhibition with all kind of art displays & art installations. There was a great view from up top, especially while I was checking out Tulsa Tough. An all day event that ended with a concert featuring Sports, a band that I listen to heavy. That was in 2023, fast forward to now, there was an exhibition I visited that was hosted by BZRO & it consisted of his denim work & the history of denim. There was even an element of where you can interact with a machine that does the weaving. It was interesting learning the process of making pants & how denim was centuries ago compared to present time.

While not very…read morevisually appealing on the outside, I'm excited about the vision to highlight Oklahoma artists and their influence through movies, radio, tv, books, theater, etc. Last I heard, they're hoping to open at the end of 2024, but they have already started hosting events at their facilities. Their staff has been in the building since 2021. They recently had a display honoring James Garner, an actor from Norman. Blake Shelton has been helping them raise money needed to finish the exhibit design, construction and installation. I hope they're able to reach their goal and I look forward to seeing it in its completion.

You can't miss it from the parking area of the Heart of Route 66 Museum. The cylinder-topped pump is an skyscraping replica of the type commonly in use when Route 66 became a national highway in 1926. The pump was originally designed to include a spiral staircase and observation deck, which had to be scrapped as too complicated for the mostly volunteer crew that built it. It is behind a chain link fence and no, it does not actually pump gas. [Review 16247 overall - 84 in Oklahoma - 1753 of 2021.]

And the Planetarium definitely need to spend all day just for it or coming back everyday for a week. The cost is well worth the visit. So you got your moneys worth and then some.
