    This is what you see when you arrive to the museum.

    This was one of the most peaceful experiences I have had in awhile. It was so nice to enjoy the museum right before closing with my mom and family that is visiting from South and North Carolina. I live in Muskogee and had never had the chance to stop in to visit. The gallery up stairs was just gorgeous. The downstairs displays were beautiful in the case and the gift shop was full of goodies to purchase. I highly recommend checking out this museum.Put it on your small museum bucket list today.

    Nice journey into American Indian history with wonderful American Indian women with so much knowledge and enthusiasm to bring the ongoing story to the limelight. This story is a must for all Americans to learn and appreciate. We thoroughly enjoyed the historical explanations and artwork and artifacts.

    The Castle of Muskogee - The two turtle doves

    The Castle of Muskogee

    My husband and I decided this evening would be a nice time to go see the lights at the castle for…read morethe holidays. We actually made pretty good time getting in and through the drive. There were some displays that were glow in the dark-triggered by a black light, which was pretty cool. This was our very first trip to the castle since we moved here in 2017. Thank you for a wonderful experience for our first trip to an event. Hopefully we'll get the chance to visit a little more often and in the day light.

    I've been going to the The Castle of Muskogee for years, and at this point it needs to be said--the…read moreRenaissance Festival and their seasonal events have turned into a straight-up money grab. Ticket prices alone are high ($30 online, ~$40 at the gate), but that's just the entry fee. Once you're inside, everything is priced like a premium experience... without actually delivering one. Food lines can easily hit an hour or more, and the quality doesn't match the price at all. It's frustrating to spend that kind of time and money and end up with food that isn't even worth finishing. The "market" is very hit or miss now. There are a few genuinely talented vendors selling handmade items, and I actually go back specifically for those booths because I appreciate their creativity and craftsmanship. But they feel like the exception, not the standard anymore. A lot of other booths are selling what looks like mass-produced goods--or things like resin and 3D-printed items--at very inflated prices. Even some handmade items feel overpriced for what you're getting. Even experiences that used to feel worth it don't anymore. I paid about $45 for henna this year, and the quality was noticeably worse--watery, didn't stain properly, and didn't last like it has in previous years. That felt like a complete waste. What's worse is that the property itself doesn't reflect how much they're charging. I spoke with a vendor whose booth had a broken roof that hadn't been fixed, and even the main sign off the highway looks like it's falling apart. For the amount of money coming in, basic upkeep shouldn't be an issue. And it's not just the Renaissance Festival--the same pattern shows up in their other events. The Christmas event is overpriced for how little there is to do. The Halloween events feel rushed and underwhelming. The haunted hayride was short, the bus haunt was the same, and when I did multiple haunts last year, every single one felt rushed, not very scary, and poorly timed--you constantly run into other groups, which completely kills the experience. I remember when these events felt longer, more creative, and actually immersive. The actors seemed more engaged, and it felt like they cared about the experience. Now it feels like they're just pushing as many people through as fast as possible. That's really the core issue: everything feels designed to maximize spending, not the guest experience. Yes, the costumes and atmosphere can still look good on the surface, but unless you're willing to spend a couple hundred dollars, you're not getting much out of it. It's honestly disappointing, because this used to be something special. Now it just feels overpriced, rushed, and neglected.

    The Castle of Muskogee - To look at this you would think the lights were off. No they are not off, but made for black light.
