This was an unexpected gem in Oklahoma City. We thoroughly enjoyed learning about the history of pigeons. I would definitely recommend this museum to anybody who is a war buff, nature enthusiast, or history fan. The only thing that I would change would be better caging and display of the live pigeons.The tiny cages sitting out against the building in direct sunlight did not seem adequate.
An unexpected roadtrip hit! Growing up in a large city conditioned me to see pigeons as pests. This small museum is a wealth of information on pigeons rich history, and value as pets and working animals. Totally worth it!!! And you can pet live pigeons!!!
Fantastic museum that really highlights how pigeons have served in the military and their accomplishments. Clean building, friendly staff, and adorable pigeons. (Pigeons were brought inside because of the rain and soon transported back to their home, normal cages are much larger). Excellent museum overall that is a great place for any pigeon or military enthusiast.
Ok.. its a pigeon museum right? My wife suggested this. ... I was NOT disappointed. Learned so many things I didnt know, kids (10,13) both enjoyed it.
Not expecting greatness. Lot of knowledge
Small museum with a lot of information about the history of pigeons, pigeon racing and the use of pigeons by military during the two world wars. The museum is free and only open Friday- Sunday. They had several varieties of live pigeons outside- I had no idea there were so many. They have a small kids area with books about pigeons, coloring pages and a scavenger hunt. We spent a little over an hour reading the displays and saying hi the live birds.
My friends and I had time to spare and came here. There is no entrance fee! We thought it would boring. It was actually really interesting! The live pigeons were off display temporarily, but they still made a way to allow us to see them. This place seems great for boy scouts, homeschoolers, history and war buffs, families, and animal lovers. I highly recommend this place. You wont regret coming here.
Am incredibly well kept and informative little museum. Much more than I expected
Who knew? Please see. Full of information you dont even know you dont know.
Truly a fantastic experience. I walked in completely ignorant to the wonderful world of pigeons. I left a changed woman.
What can I say. They are amazing and have a lot of fun things to look at and live pigeons. They have a video and lots of paintings. They also have origami and coloring pages.
Its free and everything you can ever want to know about pigeons! If you think youve seen OKC, think again. Unexpected gem!
Very nice. Lots of information and pictures. Did not know the incredible story about the passenger pigions.
An absolute must-do pilgrimage for any self respecting pigeon enthusiast.
I dont know why Oklahoma City is lucky enough to have the American Pigeon Museum, but Im glad we do. This is such a fun museum! I learned so much about pigeons. In addition to the awesome exhibits, they also have a variety of live pigeons to see. Admission is free, but donations are appreciated. One hour at the museum is plenty of time to see everything.
So many details, paintings, and information! The pigeons outside were fun to look at, as well!
Wonderful and you get to hold the wonderful little pigeons! Staff was super nice!
This is a small museum but way cooler than we ever could have expected. They have history, cool exhibits, and live pigeons of different breeds you can look at and hold. Im not a pigeon enthusiast or anything like that, but I was really glad we stopped by.Its free, so while you might want to bring a few dollars to donate its definitely something you can do on a budget. If youre in okc and have some free time on a Saturday definitely stop by.
Free museum that was pretty interesting to walk around for an hour on Saturday.
We saw a variety of live pigeons. Lots of artifacts, paintings, printed material telling of pigeon races and the military use of pigeons during war-time. The visit is interesting and not too long. The facility is nicely displayed. We were glad we visited. I saw a story about the museum on a local TV show.
My husband has raced pigeons for decades, visiting here made his day!
Such a neat place. Plus, you can hold a pigeon (with staff supervision)!
I learned a lot about pigeons and even got to meet some. The people working were very nice. A lot cooler than I thought it would be!!!
Very informative and interesting! And the fancy pigeons were amazing to get to see
Lots of fun and information, especially if you appreciate pigeons and all they can do.
Posted days and hours are incorrect. They are closed today Saturday. A major disappointment.
Great place and interesting facts about pigeons that I never knew. Make sure you say hi to Elvis when you get there.
Beware! Your world view of pigeons may change in an instant! Museum Curator, Lorrie Monteiro, is an enthusiastic guide to this history of the pigeon. The timing was right, and we were able to see and hold many varieties of pigeons and learned the history of the unique features of many. A definite must see.
I smiled, and I gasped. I laughed, and I cried.I will never forget my encounter with the wide world of pigeons.
Cool idea but not too much to see. Good place to stop when you are by the Science Museum.
It was so interesting!
Great people, great information, check out the sport of pigeon racing.
Well put together exhibits, live pigeons, and a friendly staff. Highly recommended.
Small but very interesting.
What are the best places to see information on all types of pigeons
Pretty cool, if you live in the area its worth stopping in.
Didntrealized how vast the pigeon world is until the pigeon museum visit.
It was everything you could ask for and more!!
