We had a nice little getaway here in a medium-size cabin. The cabin was clean with beautiful rustic…read morewood craftsmanship. It had a bedroom and a loft with another bed upstairs (both beds were full size). The kitchen has a microwave and stove, but no oven. It also has a refrigerator. There is a small TV with Direct TV if there's a game or something you just can't miss. There is also decent cell service (we have AT&T) and WiFi access. The bathroom had just a shower, which isn't a big deal for many people, but something to keep in mind if you have kids that only take baths. You have to bring your own linens. This is located on base at Fort Sill, but I believe people without a military ID can access the area with a visitors pass. In addition to cabins are tent sites and RV sites. You don't have to be camping to use the beach and other amenities like the playgrounds after paying an entrance fee. The beach has a lifeguard on duty and a facility with restrooms/showers. There is a little room for improvement when it comes to maintenance. There was peeling paint on our cabin, spiderwebs in many places outside, and a piece missing on our bench on the porch. There were seagull feathers and (dog?) poop all over the beach. Two of the three playgrounds were covered with overgrown grass (but to be fair one had a sign saying it was undergoing maintenance). Overall, I thought it was a great value at $90 per night. It's nothing fancy, but our cabin was perfect for "glamping" and the area is beautiful with picturesque views of Mount Scott. It was a nice, relaxing escape and I look forward to visiting again!

Unbeknownst to me, this attraction focuses on Oklahoma's aquatic life AND native wildlife. I thought it was just an aquarium, so I was surprised to see river otters, snakes, spiders and even a bobcat and coyote! We even saw Madagascar hissing cockroaches! I wasn't expecting to see all these other creatures at all, so it was a nice surprise. The butterfly exhibit was closed during my visit. Regarding the quails, we could either hand feed them or throw food in their direction. The staff said they'll come right up to us. They didn't. Other people in the enclosure had no luck either. There were walking trails outside of the main building, so wear comfortable clothing, footwear and bring sun protection. Admission: $12 per adult (with military discount) $12 per Youth (6-12 years old) Quail food: $1 Note: There is a credit card surcharge! 69 photos/vids should be included, although I'm pretty sure Yelp won't post them all with my review.

He was extremely patient with our group and answered a ton of questions! We then got to watch the blue dart frogs get fed along with a shirt presentation and Q&A session. Again, the guide was super friendly and knowledgeable. These guys seem to enjoy their job and it shows.

It is located right next to Yoast's Furniture and you could easily not realize this IS the bowling alley. The inside décor was current and all of the lanes had modern equipment. There were not too many bowling balls to select from, but I found a winner! (just kidding...). The facility has a small snack bar, vending machines and smoke free! I had a FABULOUS time - bowled three games and shoe rental for a grand total of $12.75! We will certainly hit up this establishment again for a cheap night of fun.

This 0.5-mile route follows Medicine Creek, offering a peaceful stroll, making it suitable for all ages and skill levels. The trail is part of the charming cobblestone town's appeal, located near Bath Lake, a historic spring-fed swimming hole built in the early 1900s. It's a great spot to enjoy the natural beauty of the Wichita Mountains, with cobblestone-lined paths, lush greenery, and views of the creek's waterfall over the dam. There is a swimming hole, damns, waterfalls, bridges and plenty of shaded areas to sit. Was fun watching the kids swim. Shoes are recommended and it's 3 bucks per person according to the sign but I didn't see anyone taking money.

The bison are truly breathtaking. If you get the chance to see them sit and watch for a while. We were able to do some hiking and picnic. There's also camping and fishing and boating, but we didn't do any of that on this trip. We picked up lots of pamphlets at the visitor center, so we can come back again and try again. They have lots of help at the visitor center and are glad to answer questions. They also have a great little gift shop if you want to pick up a treasure or a Momento for your visit. We took the time to take the scenic drive up to the top of Mount Scott walked around, took lots of photos. We met people from all over the world up there. It was pretty amazing. I can't wait to go back and do some more hiking. We did stop on the side of the road to look at the Longhorn cattle. There are some of the original stock from back on the turn-of-the-century or release from the bloodline it's pretty neat all these things that you can do while you're here visiting I highly recommend it. It's a great adventure not just for families but just solo if you wanna get out and explore.
