    Museum floor

    I'm not sure I went to the same museum as the other reviewers did or the other reviewers haven't been to a good air and space museum but the TASM was completely underwhelming and overpriced compared to other similar museums I've been to. While they do offer some mid range simulators, many of the displays weren't working or were off (space simulators and astronaut gloves). I also would have loved to see a true flight simulator in there, especially on the American Airlines aircraft. The aircraft appears to be in some sort of renovation and there isn't a ton of info on the display. Would be really neat to have replica cockpits of the jet with simulators as well. Much of the "more exciting" aircraft were look only or do not enter displays. I think it's a good museum for those with no real exposure to aircraft or a beginner museum but feel this museum could have so much more potential.

    Such a neat experience, I was like a kid in a candy shop! So much to, not only see, but to experience. The staff was friendly & the museum itself did not disappoint, it actually exceeded my expectations. The planetarium was an awesome experience as well. Note - the planetarium was about the history of flight, not about the universe or space, but still very amazing to watch!

    While in Tulsa for work I brought my family for a small vacation when I wasn't in meetings. It wasn't easy keeping two adult children entertained each day but we tried this place due to the fact that the two guys love planes and such. We weren't quite sure what to expect. Everyone loved it! The price was incredible too. We saw the planetarium and the museum for the price of one. Planetarium was just ok. Kids had never been to one so it was a first experience. They weren't awed by it but enjoyed it. There is a gentleman that works there that was a plethora of information not found with the displays! Kids and husband were like kids again on a playground! Lots of stuff to do that's "interactive". Went beyond expectations! We had fun!!

    You better call ahead to see if they are open. Before I Ubered over I checked the website to verify hours. I walked in and it was kind of strange. It looked closed. I double checked the doors and I was there during operating hours and nothing indicated it was closed. I walked around the museum but it was hard to see the exhibits as they were all pushed together. I finally found someone who said it was closed for an event. She didn't know why nothing said it was closed. As I waited in the rain for my Uber, two other groups came to see the museum. One even bought their tickets online. Poor dad had to explain to their child why they couldn't see airplanes. I had really looked forward to seeing their planes and I wasted $30 on Uber there and back.

    We've visited a lot of air and space museums... though only a couple during a global pandemic... These folks have a very nice collection, including a Top Gun style F-14 and lots of Apollo missions NASA stuff. There were not many people there when we visited because of everything going on. They were doing everything they could to make sure they kept everyone safe. The only thing perhaps a bit lacking for us was personality amongst the docents.... most times we find folks who are overjoyed to talk about the collections they have. Aside from that, we enjoyed our visit!

    We visited the Tulsa Air and Space Museum earlier this wk and Wow! It's a great experience for the whole family! The museum provides aeronautical history along with vintage aircraft, interactive simulators, and memorabilia. They even have an F14 Tomcat which is the airplane flown in the movie Top Gun! They did a wonderful job paying homage to the great men & women in the field of aviation - those who created the technology, those who became pilots & astronauts, and those who serviced the aircrafts! The 19,000 sqft facility was immaculate and the staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Due to our time restraint, we spent approx. an hour at the museum and didn't have time to tour the planetarium. It's self-guided so you can stay as long as you like. Prices vary @ Adults 11., Seniors and Military 9., Youth 8., Children u see 4 FREE. Enjoy this beautiful piece of history! Also, all maintenance is provided by AA!

    TASM might not be the slickest museum in Tulsa but it might contain the most history. Where else can you see the art deco facade to the old Tulsa Municipal Airport and read about when it was little more than a tar paper shack? Where else can you listen to interviews from Pearl Harbor survivors? Where else can you see the history of Tulsamerican, the B-24 that was the last one built at the Tulsa Douglas plant? Where else can you see an actual B-17, the Madras Maiden? That's what brought us to TASM today, to see this flying fortress in all it's glory. (The B-17 was only traveling through and is not a permanent exhibit.) The staff (with a lot of volunteers) is always pleasant and helpful. If you haven't been, put this on your Tulsa bucket list.

    This place was great for kids and adults. They have a few little crafts for just the kiddos to play on and it's a fun way for them to learn new things. The staff was very polite, friendly and informative to any questions. We had a great r and will be back

    Me, my daughter and her friends went to this museum the other day on a Groupon I had purchased. I found the museum interesting. Just enough stuff to see, read and do without getting tired or bored. There were a few things the girls were able to do such as launch a space shuttle replica and fly a jet simulator. They also have an upstairs and a downstairs part. Upstairs is a small loft like area that has a library of books you can read at the tables up there and an area for kids to play in. The museum has plenty of aircraft to look at from different time periods and even one you can sit in, though very small....watch your head! We were fortunate to have a gentleman from the museum walk us through to the different areas and give us information on everything, which was very helpful! There is a large airplane outside that you can tour as well but I believe they have certain times you can go in. There is a short informative movie you get to watch inside and it's interesting to see how much things have changed since then. If you have plans to go the planetarium, just a word of advice, they are very prompt on their start time! Get there about 5-10 minutes before your show. They adhere to start times and the doors will be locked at the start time and you will have to catch the next show. There are a few things to see in the planetarium waiting area to bide your time until your movie starts so you should be ok and they have bathrooms. The seats in the middle of the planetarium are the best to get. We watched the show about the earth, sun and moon. It was informative and it had enough stuff to keep the youngest entertained through out. The main museum does have a very small gift shop inside if you want to purchase anything though I really didn't see anything that was interesting enough to get. I think for Tulsa, this is a nice place for a day trip for the family to do.

    It was super neat my whole little family went and they had something for everyone. The staff was very friendly and helpful. My husband definitely had a blast

    I grew up on military posts so museums dedicated to military history of any kind are not terribly exciting to me anymore. However, I brought my son here on a rainy morning and he was enthralled! Gabe loved the children's corner on the second floor. There is Lego table and an old plane dashboard that kept his attention for almost two hours. That's quite exceptional for a four year old! The planetarium was a great family activity as well. We watched a show about the solar system that was just the right length of 30 minutes. A military discount is offered if you have your ID.

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.

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.

I spent around two and one half hours with the exhibits and I could have stayed longer. Make sure you watch the intro video before you start your tour. Then make time to watch the VR presentation about the Dust Bowl.

All of the staff was wonderful, but I was particularly impressed with Sam, who went way beyond what was expected to help us understand Woody Guthrie and that period of history. I am a retired history teacher and I appreciate encountering talented and dedicated teachers whether they are employed in schools or places such as museums.

    The Outsiders is one of my favorite books and movies…read more I knew some of it was filmed on location in Tulsa, but I didn't think the house where Patrick Swayze famously performed a handstand out front was still there. It is - and so is the extra pole that was added to the fence after it buckled during the first take. The inside is quaint, semi recreated and jam packed with memorabilia from the film. I loved the bedroom that recreates the setting where Ponyboy read Johnny's letter, which inspired him to write his English essay. I also loved all the random movie posters, candid photos and movie costumes - especially the autograph wall. The volunteers - who are strategically stationed around the property are the best. They're happy to talk all things book, movie and Tulsa related. If you're nice - they'll tell you about Crutchfield Park, which is just down the street and where the Greaser / Soc rumble was filmed.

Their passion really brings the place to life. While we were there we met some fans who had traveled from out of state just to visit. We also chatted with the photographer who was a neighborhood local at the time of the filming and happened to capture behind the scenes photographs on set. He now sells photographs onsite and had some fun stories to share. Parking is convenient with a small lot out back, but if that's full, there's usually plenty of street parking nearby. There is a great little gift shop to check out before you leave as well. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.
