Several cool artifacts to see, from mirrors, photos, figurines, lamps, 20's era fashion, and more. There is a coffee shop in the same building and several nice restaurants nearby, walking distance. Would be easy just to pop in while strolling downtown Tulsa.

Pros: the displays before entering the exhibit were the best part…read more My friend was visiting from out of town. She was impressed that our exhibit was in place for so long. They usually stay for a very short time other places. Still good sized number of visitors on a Thursday morning. Cons: the immersive exhibit wasn't as interesting as some others I have seen.

I also got the opportunity to see the Lego sculptures. Very creative. Wear your walking shoes as there is a lot of walking with lots to see. They also thoughtfully have plenty of benches placed around the garden and lake to sit and take a break and just take in the surroundings. They do have a little snack shop outside on the lawn. I didn't stop by to see what they had to offer.

We are so fortunate to have a Botanic Garden in Tulsa. This place is amazing!…read more Me and my family came to walk around here after church. We had a great time. The views were very pretty here. There was also a nice hiking trail that we walked on. The owners definitely do a good job at keeping this place nice. The bathrooms here were actually pretty clean. The service was good. The employees at the front desk were helpful. Overall, great place and I highly recommend coming here! Ps, don't wear Birkenstocks here because there's a lot of walking.

Admission is $15 but includes the museum as well. We were able to peruse around inside at the artifacts, grab a beverage at the lounge, and go outside to enjoy the music and sunshine. I was hoping we would get to see inside one of the recording studios, but they were closed off even though they weren't in use this day. Overall a good place to visit in Tulsa if they have some music or events happening, but if not then I wouldn't recommend paying $15 entry for just one room of artifacts. Parking is also very limited.

For an example on behalf of their musical history: The mic that we used to record with was the same mic David Bowie used. We were booked for a 2-day session & I enjoyed every second of it. There was a whole setup with snacks, water, tea & coffee. The engineers were open-minded & really good collaborators, they gave great feedback + input. Everyone on staff were nice & friendly. There's an outdoor concert series they have with shows happening 3 days a week. A lot of programming that's under their Institute that you can enroll in.

The museum does a magnificent job mixing photos, historical artifacts and technology to tell Guthrie's story, and how he became one of folk music's largest influences. I could write more about it, but I really think it's something you should experience in person. Trust me - it's worth it. I spent around two and one half hours with the exhibits and I could have stayed longer. Make sure you watch the intro video before you start your tour. Then make time to watch the VR presentation about the Dust Bowl.

The first time Dan and I went to the Woody Guthrie Center was during a Yelp event. I was so happy…read morethat we had the opportunity to take our grandson and our daughter there last Sunday. They loved it as much as we did. I can't wait to take the rest of the grandchildren. This is a well organized museum. The exhibits attract and holds the interest of people of all ages. My 13 year old grandson who like most 13 year olds bores easily with anything that's not a video game or legos, was totally engaged. All of the staff was wonderful, but I was particularly impressed with Sam, who went way beyond what was expected to help us understand Woody Guthrie and that period of history. I am a retired history teacher and I appreciate encountering talented and dedicated teachers whether they are employed in schools or places such as museums.

We visited Made, Magic City, Ida Red, and Antionette and experienced Guthrie Green. (I pointed out the Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan Centers, Cain's, and the ever growing upward OKPop museum. Not sure he was impressed.) Many great places to stop in for a beverage (or snack) along the way.

It was incredible to learn about the history of Greenwood and see it up close through pictures and exhibits. Being from Oakland, CA, I've learned about this history through stories, videos, and books. But actually standing in Greenwood and seeing the history displayed on the walls made it feel so real and meaningful. It gave me a deeper understanding and appreciation for the strength and resilience of the community. This museum is a must-see for anyone visiting the Tulsa area. It's educational, moving, and something you won't forget.
