This is a fun place to take the kids. It is very quiet and very cold but has some interesting things to see. If you or your little ones like cowboys and old west items this will be a good place to hit.

A great way to spend a couple hours! The performers gallery is a blast! Great presentation of the history of Westerns...movies, TV and actors. Incredible displays of movie props such as the hat, rifle and eye patch from True Grit. Lots if western paintings, sculptures, guns, clothes, rodeo displays and a western town!

Just beaten by the Leaning Tree Museum in Colorado, as they allowed people to take as many photois as they wished - in fact people were encouraged to do so. Here the opposite is true and that disappointed us a little, There are many many sections to this museum, developing US life from the time of the cowboys, town life,... More

I have family in OKC and have been to this museaum about 5 times. Each time I go, I see and enjoy something different. I like the paintings best, but for those who want to see period clothing, equipment, and firearms, this is a very good museum. If I were in charge, there would be more music from old times... More

If you like cowboys (and Indians), this is the place to go. Lots of good historical information and very nice art work, including some of the very best of Western art. The grounds are also enjoyable. Worth a visit.

If you like guns and cowboys this is a place you need to visit at the time there was construction so we were unable to see the whole museum and also I was really disappointed there were not more indian artifacts.

My son and his family and I visited the "cowboy museum" recently and found it a wonderful place to go. It is full of wonderful art works, stories about the Native Americans, early cowboy life, cowboys in the movies and on TV, and so much more. I want to go back!

We happened on the Cowboy Museum while traveling through Kansas. We stopped in and we were elated. My husband is a disabled Veteran and was welcomed at no charge. We so appreciated the appreciation of my husbands service to our country. We encountered beautiful paintings and sculptures by Artists who captured the west both wild & tame. The gardens are... More

This museum is out of the downtown area--we took a taxi since we were staying and Brick Town and there really isn't a need for a car it was $20 so $40 round trip for two but the museum was worth that and the admission. It is really big so plan on at least two hours they do have a... More
