Phenomenal spot to check out in downtown Tulsa. Everything youve ever heard about this place is true. The Center of the Universe should be one of the wonders of the world. Next to the old train station along side historical buildings and beautiful gardens, take time to go downtown to see for yourself! Stand in the middle of that huge cement circle and yell as loud as you can. Only you will hear the echos! Magical in every sense of the word. Amazing. Thank you Tulsa!

Do not expect anything overly impressive in terms of looks. However, the acoustic phenomenon here is definitely unusual. It is pretty neat. You can here it a bit recording from the center. If you are a singer or someone who likes to make videos, you will have fun visiting here. I sang Hallelujah. It was great!

Nice place to get together with family n frnds for sometime. When you stand in the center of the circle and shout then you can hear an Echo of it. Not that loud but assumptively yes. The trains passing below that area is quite irritating specially the honkings. One time visit not that exciting to recommend but still out of curiosity one time visit is OK!!!

Pretty cool phenomenon. But the place needs updated, it is becoming an eye sore for such a cool spot. If people would learn to treat things better, it probably wouldnt look like it does. But alot of people have zero standards, and it shows when they visit a place and leave trash, food and other unpleasant things lying about.

Everyone should visit this spot. Easy to get to, takes just minutes to experience and is quite unique. You wont forget it!

Great experience. Truly a mysterious landmark, enjoyed by all ages!

If you stand directly in the center you do hear an echo. Your voice will reverberatePretty cool

It was very cool! It doesnt look very impressive approaching it but when you stand on the circle and start talking, it was very.......cool!!!

Interesting phenomenon in the center! One bad thing is the area around it is pretty ghetto. Alot of homeless people around and one man was just walking around and muttering to himself. A cool thing is the Jazz house next to it is supposedly haunted and it was formerly an old depot. It has interesting stories behind that place.

Super exciting! I thought it would be much bigger. The sound standing on the circle sounded like I was speaking through a microphone projected by stadium speakers. That was an interesting experience. Fun with the right fun people!

Very neat ... and free!My sister and I went on a Sunday during the covid shutdown. All downtown Tulsa was quiet! Kinda eerie to see only four people walking ... separately ... with masks. Then we came upon this little spot.Google directions were great for finding this. Maybe because it was so quiet, it worked perfectly! Such a neat trick of acoustics! My sis and I got giggly as we played with the echo.

Not entirely sure its worth all the hype.

My husband and I went to Tulsa with some friends and visited this place while we were there and it was pretty neat! I dont know how it works, but it definitely sounds strange when youre in the circle! We hung out there for a while to watch others reactions and that was fun too. I agree that its not worth a long trip just to visit here, but its close to other Tulsa attractions. Its definitely a must do if youre in the area!

People could hear me outside of the ring. But, the cool thing was the vibration of my words coming back to my body.

10 minute stop. Very interesting sensation. Unique experience for sure.

Was definitely an interesting find. Standing in the center of the circle your voice echos back to you really loud. The kids had fun. Its a 5 minute stop tops, but if its not too far out of your way definitely worth it. From parking area walk a ways down sidewalk towards bridge, on the bridge is where you will find it.

It is actually a mishmash of end of the world myths. the audio effects are created by micro uni-directional speakers which are beamed directly at the speaker, hence the only you effect of the echo. it is a simple diversion if you happen to be in the area, not worth a special trip unless you have guests who are especially credulous or part abunaki.

So cool! I used to come here as a teenager. Finally brought my girls to hear the echo. We tried to record while standing in the circle but it didnt work. We couldnt hear it on the recording.

This place is worth a drop in for fun and giggle. Take the family. It will make a great video and everyone will have fun trying to figure out why it functions like it does. Just drop by on your way to a museum or restaurant in the area; it will fill some time with something unique and quirky.

This place is so cool!! But it will no longer be, Tulsa is tearing it down, it will be sad to see this place go

Loved it!! When we went here we didnt know that if you stand inside the circle on one side & another stands on the opposite side; you can hear each other echo. It was a lot of fun. Got some great photos.

Was awesome bringing my daughter here she thought it was cool.

Cool acoustical effects if you stand in the center. The place is really really really really really run down and needs a makeover badly. It has been ignored and graffitied up there are broken stones and missing stones and it takes away from the experience.

It was cool to hear the reflection of your own voice but the ground around the area was broken and had pieces missing.

Really cool we took my 11 yr old here and she was amazed at the way it sounded when she talked standing in the circle. Pretty cool to experience.

It was my first time that visited there. It was great you here Echo while you talking in the center of circle but, others could here you may be due to the structure damage. I belive tulsa did not take a good care to maintenance this unique place.

I had never heard of the Center of the Universe until we did some traveling in 2018. It is a really cool to visit if you are nearby, but probably not worth a long distance drive. While you are standing in the Center of the Universe everything you say has an echo, but just outside the center there is no echo. Neat. I am not sure what causes this phenomenon to occur, but still its a really cool experience.

Center of the Universe was cool. I figured out how it works. Im not going to ruin it for you but squat down and talk. The echo is even louder!

Pretty cool quick bucket list stop... youll be trying to apply logic for a good hour afterwards.

Needs to get a facelift but whos gonna find it? With all the new construction north of the tracks, itd be nice to see the city restore it but alas... more important things will always exist.

Awesome place, I wish the city would take care of it a little better. Lots of fun!!

Dont forget to Ring the Center peace. Stand in the center and make noise, its awesome

Ok at first I didnt know if it was the accurate location cuz its just there and no signs or nada. But when u stand in the middle you do echo like crazy. If u in the area its worth seeing.

Definitely worth checking out if youre in Tulsa. Could use alittle maintenance but a relaxing and enjoyable place to check out.

Its a cool place but needs some repair.

Pretty cool place really easy to get to park in front of the Jazz Museum and walk over about 300 ft and there youll be.

The place where u can scream to the top of ur lungs and not make a sound.

Definitely an interesting experience! 1 of a kind. Im a Tulsa native and in 30 years, Id never been. Curiosity was finally quenched. Want your mind boggled? Visit this spot!

Stand right in the center Omani speak loudly, sounds like you are speaking into a huge imaginary cup. Fun playing around with our voices and experimenting with the echo.

Pretty cool place to visit,My husband and I visited on a Sunday which was great because of free parking on the weekend !We stood in the middle of the circle and it was pretty cool to hear the sounds!But on the other hand graffiti,trash and homelessness it’s pretty obvious there.

This place is so cool me and my husband had a great time here

Looked great online and was excited to see in person but its all thrashed with spray paint sad to see.

When standing inside the circle your voice echos but stand outside ther circle and it doesnt BUT you are the only one that can hear it., everyone else thinks youre taking normal

Loved it. First time there and Ive lived in Oklahoma all my life

Artificial cloud was interesting to look at an interpret the art work. After staring and counting the men and the planes, I came up with nothing. Except that the artificial cloud will cast a shadow on the ground and the surrounding buildings.

Such an interesting downtown Tulsa attraction. Its free, its accessible from highway, parking is easy. I grew up in Tulsa and I had never heard of this spot until I saw it on Google. Good memories with my children from the Center of the Universe!

Its is cool, and it is free. Go check this place out.

It is just a spot on the sidewalk with a cool sculpture next to it, but my kids were amazed by the echo, I got some good pictures of my family, and it was nice just to get out of the house and walk around downtown.

Fun free place to go to. in the heart of downtown. bars, coffee shops, food, hotels, all a small walk away.

You would think the center of the universe wouldnt be so bland. It could use some more lighting at night also

The echo is real cool. Neat spot to hang out.

Its cool. Its in disrepair. My niece fell and hurt herself from a brick sticking up over an inch. It needs some attention and repairs.

Cool place to check out if you happen to be in the area. Only reason for 4 stars instead of five was the “lime/bird” electric scooter posse terrorizing the scene. If you have small children or pets with you, just be aware of the loud and repetitive clanging from unsupervised children bashing the monuments door knocker style feature. Our dog is usually unperturbed by anything, but was so freaked out by the marauding bird scooter posse and the unrelenting and echoing “clang” that we had to dip out soon after arriving.

Took my mom and my girls. My moms lived in Oklahoma all her life and this was her 1st time there. She thought it was a really cool phenomenon. My girls have been multiple times and love it every time we visit. Also, a great place to watch the fireworks from the Tulsa Drillers games.

Pretty neat. Id recommend going sometime other than a weekend. It was really busy downtown that night and you didnt want to stand there too long because other people wanted to try it.

Loved it. Wish there was more signs and info around. The artificial cloud could also use a description sign. Was really fun to see and experience

Had a good time it was something different first and freak me out to hear my echo.

Quirky place. A must stop. You may need to position your pie hole just right to hear the magic.

We had a great time - even though we were there around midnight. We felt safe, and had fun on the spot as well as “gonging” !

Fun spot to check out and eat a sandwich. Plenty of touristy things to check out nearby as well as food and businesses

Its fun! My bestie and I stood at the center and it still worked. Strangest thing to hear your echo and theres not a thing around to cause it! Go! Have fun! Enjoy!

Pretty cool effect! Worth checking out if youre already in Tulsa. Its not worth going to Tulsa just for this, though. The lighted path is neat and if you use the knocker on it, it activates blue lights. The renovated train station right by it is cool to check out. It has a lot of history to it and hosts jazz performers.

Absolutely Awesome Acoustic attraction! Totally Geeked out on this!

Very interesting to experience, something I didnt know Tulsa had. Should definitely check it out!

Its very interesting and will definitely require some more research. How did this start? What makes it echo? So many questions, but after 7 years in Tulsa, in happy I finally made it here!

Weird. Very interesting. Definitely a must visit if driving through or visiting Tulsa.

Loved it! First time we went it was pretty cool. Your voice will change for a few mins

Good tourist attraction just to say youve been with family or friends. Its about the small experiences

Not a natural phenomenon. Man made ech spot with a train track below it. When we went there was a group of teenagers sitting directly in the middle smoking from a giant bong. No exaggeration. Nice kids, unremarkable spot.

Interesting could use a little bit of work on the walkway

Great atmosphere! Incredible staff! Laid back with great beer! Marcella was fantastic and Johnny and all the staff made us feel like family!! Will definitely be back every time I visit Tulsa!

Amazing how the echo is! Tried to FaceTime my kids at home but they can’t hear the echo on the phone. Really neat. Must go see! Wish I knew the history of the door bell with the planes and people.

Overrated place. Not much to do here apart from trying to hear very faint eco while standing on a bridge.

Neat spot to check out when in Tulsa, OK.

So much fun! Pretty cool anomaly!

There is nothing really here to see, but yes you can stand on the circle and hear an echo. It almost sounds like a microphone really. Its something to see & cool too say youve done it, but dont expect much.

Cool spot to see with an unexplainable effect on sound.

So much fun. Been wanting to come here for years... Finally made it and not disappointing. It needs cleaned up, some repairs, still amazing and had a blast with it!!!!!

This is such a cool experience. I haven’t seen anything like this! It’s like an outdoor echo chamber that only the person talking can hear!

Really cool thing to visit along the way!!

Kinda broken. Someone get some duct tape.

Ive wasted a lot of time in my life but this may be the biggest. Nothing about this was entertaining. The echoing sound was very light. We have a place here in Indiana outside of cold stone creamery that does the same thing much louder. I wouldnt waste your time as youll have to pay to park just to be let down.

So cool. Didnt believe until I witnessed for myself.

Its nice at night. Just good clean fun!

Awesome place. Definitely a mystery as to what makes it eco.. very cool place

The city could at least try to keep it up. Broken bricks, missing lights and lots of graffiti. Have a little pride even if it is a silly little fun thing. You got 2 stars instead of 1 just cause it is kinda cool even if you know what actually causes it. Get your act together, Tulsa.

Cool place to hangout late at night with family or friends!

Honestly one of the coolest places in Tulsa. Definitely should be on your list of places to see if you’re visiting Tulsa. Not only does it have one of the weirdest/coolest phenomena in the country, it also has a great view of downtown and it’s close to all of the other cool restaurants, bars, and clubs downtown.

It was a strange but wonderful experience. You could shout your lungs out loud, but when inside this circle shouting, nobody on the outside of the circle could here you!

Took a friend and her daughter here and they loved it! They are visiting from out of state and said they shall return sometime soon to see it again.

Great place to visit. People were friendly and fun to talk to. Fascinating man made phenomenon.

It was a cool place but very unclean and un-maintained

What a neat experience in Tulsa. I highly recommend you going to it and test it out for yourself; be loud.

It was not what I was expecting and much smaller of an area than I had anticipated but the acoustics of it are really neat in the center. Just a neat attraction if youre in the area but would not go out of the way to see it.

This is an amazing experience to me. Never been to anything like it

Cant even describe what this place does to your body and sense of being. Highly recommend.

This piece of concrete attracts more than 10,000 visitors per year. It is called the Center of the Universe. When one stands in the middle and speaks it produces a rare echo, very difficult to explain.

The echo effect is interesting but I was led to believe from posts on Facebook and pinterest that people outside of the circle couldnt hear you speak. If youve read that also, dont believe the hype.

The concept is really neat. Just sad that it was vandalized and damaged during a receng protest.

Waste of time. Tulsa was a drag, in general.
