This is where you could get a cool pic ! We went on a weekend and nobody was there. It's a fun little excursion.

09.06.20 World's Largest Praying Hands
May A.

This was huge... literally! We stopped by to check out the praying hands at the Oral Roberts University in Tulsa OK. There is a small parking lot to the right as you enter the university. We parked and walked up to the grassy area and well-manicured garden where the hands were. There are also benches near the sculpture if you'd like to stay longer. Standing at 60 feet high and weighing 30 tons, this was the largest pure bronze sculpture in the world. Among the beautiful sculpture are flagpoles representing flags from different countries and hedges that are shaped to spell ORU. The verse on the statue is Luke 2:52 "And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man..." You can't miss it... find this colossal sculpture at the entrance of the university. These massive hands can even be seen from the airplane when touching down in Tulsa. Also on the property is the Oral Roberts Prayer Tower. We couldn't get near it since the University was closed.

Beautiful spot, Great place to visit for Easter weekend. The only issue is right now is all the construction around the area and you can't park close. So if you have sometime and want to want to see some beautiful free art work, come and enjoy

As fat as road side attractions goes, this is big. 60 feet big. I thought we was trying to catch a big butterfly but JulieH says they're praying. My idea maybe more realistic but regardless of your religious affiliation, visting the home of Oral Roberts University is something different, especially if you're not from the South and used to institutions like this. Where the hands clap away today is not there original home. Moved across campus they welcome you off the main drag. A very convenient parking lot just off to the right provides a quick in and out while you walk off the long road trip.

Stopped here when visiting for the IM and it was neat. Definitely something to see if you like art and architecture.

I'm not religious but when you are in Tulsa, you HAVE TO SEE the GIANT PRAYING HANDS. They are really HUGE.

Fun slides for ALL ages! They have slides for all comfort levels too; from calm to adventurous…read moreriding experiences. The only reason for 4 stars is because their bathrooms were dirty and not welcoming, and that was at opening time as I picked the first time slot of the day. Warnings: - Most of our group of 5 ended up with elbow, finger, and knee burns that hurt like a paper cut! While the mats you lay on are great, you can still accidentally touch skin to plastic/rubber going at a high speed down a slide! - Do not try to stop yourself or push yourself up at the end of slides while in motion or you could injure a shoulder. Just let your mat go until you completely stop naturally. The more you resist or go against the speed, the more likely you are to have an injury. - The steps up to the slides are tall, like one foot or more, much higher than regular steps. Some really small kids had to crawl up the steps. It's a workout! Each visitor must purchase a pair of their grippy socks that you can reuse on future visits. If you don't want to leave your shoes and belongings out in the open, you can buy a locker. I was able to fit 5 pairs of tennis shoes, a jacket, and my purse in one locker. This allowed us to walk all over the place without having to watch our stuff. Our group enjoyed the snack bar; we had bottled water, nachos, icees, dippin dots, bagged popcorn, and candy bars. Don't forget to tip! There is seating around all of the slides if you only want to watch your party and not participate. There are a few basketball courts for kids that want a break from the slides. The parking lot is huge, plenty of spots. Buy your tickets and sign your waivers in advance, and it will make in-person checkin-in much easier!

I came in for friends/family and influencer night and wow oh wow Tulsa is blessed to have a new…read morevenue!! This is like the trampoline parks with SLIDES!!!!! This is such a cool concept and this is the first Slick City in Oklahoma. They have other arcade games for everyone to play, a bounce floor basketball court and an upstairs area for private parties. You do have to buy their special socks. It they provide the mats to slide down on. Me being "Big Ray" I was too big to slide down the slides, they have a weight limit of 275. Adults can go down with the kiddos, but again. You can't be 6'5" and 390. LOL There's a summer pass available for $79.99 and that allows thr kiddos to come in for 2 hours a day. What a great deal!! There's a food court available with some basic food. It's not omg amazing, but for the little spot to eat, it's pretty good. I tried a pepperoni pizza and waffles fries with nacho cheese sauce!! Both very yummy again for what they are!! All this to say, what a great addition to get kids off the phone and actually playing!! Oh! That have massage chairs to enjoy too!! Woot!!
