  • This place is huge and will take you at least two to three hours to do it justice. Brought back memories of my childhood as they have an exhibit of all the old Western TV shows and the board games...

  • 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.
  • 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!
  • 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.
  • I was not prepared for the scale of this Museum when I arrived. The art collection alone is massive, not to mention the many other finely detailed exhibits and displays. Arrive when they open, and expect to be there for nearly a fully day. Rest assured it will have been a day well spent.
  • What a great museum! I loved everything about it. Very well curated. Awesome amount of Remington and Russell sculptures and paintings. So many great exhibits. We spent over 5 hours there and could easily use another day. Really great museum store. A must go destination!
