Great place! It’s like a midwest safari with buffaloes, deers, horses, ostriches and other animals. There is also a museum where you can learn about native Americans from that area. And also they have a place for kids to play with some of the domestic pets

Very interesting and informative. The museum is interesting and has a lot of Native American and cowboy displays and artifacts. It is worth the price of $14 for adults. You easily spend all day there.

While there droving through to see all the Christmas light displays we were nlessed with the opportunity to see a pure white elk with huge antlers feeding in the wild. It was well worth the drive just for that alone.

This is a really cool place to visit! The museum has a lot of interesting displays about western life including native American art, cowboys, and settlers. There was some interesting route 66 stuff when we were there last including an old plane, and tanker truck. There are a lot of cool outdoor things to do here as well. There is a play area for the kids that has old western buildings. There are a lot of hiking trails, and exotic animals for the kids to see. Very fun place for the whole family.

My grandparents met and worked for the Phillips before it ever became a museum..I’ve heard so many wonderful stories. When I finally had the opportunity to visit I was not disappointed.. just a little emotional....beautiful place.. plan on visiting very soon

Been going to Woolaroc since I was a toddler. Now my children bring their family there. Our high school took a field trip there. It’s a great place to go with lots of history. We have picnic lunches at the parks many picnic tables before we go in. Then check out the wild life on the way in. Everything in that museum for anyone. You will definitely find something you are interested in. And it’s not expensive at all. Just go once and you will be glad you did.

I have mixed feelings about this place. While the museum is amazing, the rest of the place leaves a lot to be desired. We went expecting to see a lot of of wildlife roaming free since thats what was advertised. But the only animals we saw out of cages were deer. We were also disappointed that we couldnt see more of the Lodge. The high admittance fee just wasnt worth it.

Review №15

Wow! Lots to see from the comfort of your car. Animals roaming behind fences, water features, bison freely roaming the grounds, all types of birds, and lots of stop offs. The museum is HUGE but not overwhelming. Covers all periods of local history. Comprehensive look at Native American history as well. The gift shop has unique jewelry and other finds. Dont forget to go across the street from the museum and climb the tower. Amazingly beautiful, beautiful view. What a neat place!

On one of the walking trails, something like the “Cherokee Warrior loop”, there is a stream that has real life ferns growing on the bank. Ferns, man. Unbelievable. Had to knock a star because I saw no bison or horns.

A must see in Oklahoma...I would give Woolaroc 6 stars if I could or even 10. Simply one of the finest western museums anywhere. It has a priceless collection of western art by the best western artists in the world. It has a world class gun collection and perhaps the best collection of Colts anywhere. It is in a setting like no other and has a history like no other. Woolaroc is great for any age. I can spend hours in the Museum with someone who is interested in the collection. Or I can take young (6+) grandchildren, do a 30 minute walk through the Museum and spend an hour or two or more outside walking the trails, climbing the rocks, playing on the playground and seeing the animals. I have been to the Museum many times over many years, it never gets old and there is always something new to discover. Woolaroc is simply one of the finest western museums anywhere.

Love this place. The property has secrets though and if you confide in the caretakers trust he may show you. If you are one who will take care of this information I ask you not to share the location so it might be reserved for future generations.

We go many times a year. Have not been since covid. We did do the drive thru to see the animals my kids loved it. Friendly, helpful staff. I always learn new things. I have went since I was a kid now I take my kids. It makes great traditions and memories. Kidfest is great.

Ive been here multiple times over the years. It started when I was a kid and I try and make it back here at least once a year. Though I couldnt come and visit for the last 8 plus years due to living cross country. Great as always the wife enjoyed it it was her first time I didnt realize she had never been before. Great way to spend fathers day. Will be back soon.

A fun day at Woolaroc included- buffalo!!!, a camp with lifelike teepees, muskets, animal pelts of all kinds.We got to shot the rifle, saw all types of animals- water buffalo, ostrich, white spotted deer, emu, and more.Enjoyed museum, concession stand, short movie, art, tower with pretty view.

Found the museum and lodge to be fascinating. Spent a majority of our time touring the main level of the museum as there was certainly a wealth of Native American textiles, artifacts, artwork and fine art. The weather was cool, so walking the grounds or trails was a bit prohibitive. The lodge walkthrough is extremely short (basically restricted to the main room and breezeway). The animals were plentiful and close to the road and in large herds generally, so it was easy to get a good glimpse or pictures. However, none ever got too close to our vehicle except for the deer and some geese. The admission is reasonably priced for what you get. We didnt get a chance to eat as the food stand was closed, so we wish we had brought something with to eat at their picnic facilities.

Uncle Frank built a lodge for himself, and then opened it up to Bartlesville so we could all enjoy! Beautiful art, incredible grounds, interesting history and delightful staff who keep the place better than ever! Families are welcome and everyone will have a wonderful day at Woolaroc where you will find woods, lakes and rock and enjoy the past and present.

Review №31

Wonderful museum, great western art, Indian artifacts and I went there for the colt collection which is one of the best. There is inside seating in the visitor building, found it while looking for a bathroom after eating at a picnic table outside. Oklahoma wind blows, blew coleslaw off my fork. We should have ate our picnic lunch inside. Now I know.

We all love Woolaroc Museum in Bartlesville in the spring, summer and fall.The winter Christmas Lights display was not very good. Maybe it will be better in times ahead. We were expecting something like Honor Heights in Muskogee but insteadof almost breath taking light displays we had just lights on trees and bushes . Im not going to detail their effort negatively but there are better displays that are free and senior friendly.

Yes, the log cabin is a fine mancave, but the museum is awesome too. Rare Native American pieces, Phillips 66 memorabilia, cowboy sculptures, gin collection, shrunken heads, dioramas, and much more. Bring comfy shoes.

Overall an unexpected great experience. Got to see the buffalo up and close like we wanted to. We also got yo see most of the animals they have. I would recommend starting with a hike, then eating and finally seeing the museum. The museum is filled with very interesting stuff. The only reason why I am giving it a four star is because of the food. The food is no better than a high school football concession.

Review №53

Im glad to read the reviews and see people still enjoy this place. Ive visited Woolaroc for about 60 years, spanning the age of 6 to 60 and loved it from the perspective of all those ages. The Museum is incredible, it deserves at least 4 hours to take it all in. I wonder if people realize just how amazing the Western Art collection is. The paintings arent cheap copies, theyre the real deal. The works of Moran, Russell, Remington and Frank Tenney Johnson are breathtaking. Some are so large they take up a whole wall by themselves. Everything else is really cool too, but the art in the museum is unforgettable.

The traders camp was my favorite. The men dress in the period and do a great job sharing information about pioneer life and native American ways as well. There is also a small petting zoo and museum. In the downstairs there is a large gun collection on display. You can find a few pieces dating back to I believe the 1700s!

Jo
Review №58

This place is unbelievable, you will need all day to try and take it all in. All the animals, getting to shoot a black powder rifle, and the gun collection and everything in the museum is awesome. If you are lucky enough to discover this place you will be back.

This is a world class museum. It is filled with Western art, a great gun collection and has nice walking trails. I have been to this museum more times than I can count and never tire of it. I would eat somewhere else as the concessions are not as top notch as the museum. Go to Bartlesville and eat at Frank and Lola’s or Tinker’s glass house.

Would be great for a family day trip, not so much for a school field trip. Most of the natives in the campground area were rude & didnt allow the kids to take part in anything. The grounds, animals & picnic areas are fabulous, as is the museum. If you come give yourself at least a half a day or more to really take it all in.

I love this place! I havent been back here since I was a kid and I was really looking forward to taking my kids to it. It did not disappoint. My kids ranging from ages 4-15 all enjoyed it. There are fabulous works of art here and lots of historical information. Dont forget to stop by the mountain man camp. The man has been doing it for a long time and he is very knowledgeable. I recommend everyone should make the trip to see this fabulous collection. We spent right around 4 hours here and enjoyed every minute.

Hidden gem in Osage County. This location has it all with something for old and young alike. The museum is world class with displays ranging from original Remington and Russel painting and sculptures, native american artifacts and huge gun collection. Varied animals throughout the preserve including elk, bison, deer and others too numerous to number. A petting zoo for the kids as well. Trails to walk as well.

A hidden gem. If this place was near a major interstate highway or close to a large city it would rival Disney World as a family destination. Has appeal for young and old, the casual visitor and the intellectual.

Great place! I have been multiple times including once when i was very young, which gave me great memories to carry out of the museum. If you actually read some of the displays you are guaranteed to learn something you did not know. There is also a petting zoo (watch where you step) Your kids may groan when they hear museum but once its time to go they wont want to leave. I highly recommend this museum.

My wife and I had not been in 17 years. We took our three kids for the first time. It was a hit, they said they wanted to go back again. They enjoyed the camp, throwing the tomahawk, and shooting the black powder rifle. The museum was almost as I remembered it, the kids also enjoyed the petting zoo. It was a parenting win for the day.
