  • Great museum with lots of history and nostalgia. It's beautiful inside with airplanes hanging down from the ceiling and thousands of pictures giving a historical perspective of this wonderful state. Beautiful outside with several monuments depicting Oklahoma's history with oil wells and oil production. Right across from the State Capital and Governor's Mansion. I am not doing it any justice with these unedited photos from outside, but this will give anyone a good idea of what the museum and its surroundings are like.
  • Actually went thinking it would be boring and corny but ended with a completely different thought. It was fun and amazing, it was interactive and educational. It even allowed me to introduce my Gen Z 16 yr old to a whole world of things. We had a blast and highly recommend.
  • The family and I enjoyed this museum very much. We learned a lot about the history of Oklahoma. We ended up spending nearly the whole day going through the exhibits. The kids enjoyed the hands on history parts.
  • The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I liked that they had interactive exhibits. My husband and I went, we spent a little more then an hour there. We went specifically it see the Oklahoma in space exhibit but the other exhibit were good too.
  • The OK History Center/museum is more than okay. High quality exhibits that tell the complex story of Oklahoma. There are many interactive exhibits enjoyable for all ages. Definitely worth a few hours for both the indoor and outdoor exhibits.
