75ft tall...43500 pound standing tall from 1953....something worth seeing at least once....thats what me and my friend discussed when we read all this details on google. We turned our vehicle and headed towards it....Good experience to see something that big...6th largest statue in the USA...that was crazy!!! But nice.....Seen statues of famous people but a statue of an oil worker was something really new and never clicked in the mind that something like this can exist. Highly recommended at least once......:

Was a cute stop but I didnt like the mask on the statue. I wanted to see the full statue as normal but oh well.

The Big Guy is a completely unique experience and thoroughly Tulsa. He is also very socially conscious, as can clearly be seen in this photo with him wearing an appropriate facemask for being out in public. Besides that, theres no question that he regularly practices social distancing since he is close to 40 feet tall. ;-)

Cool to take a few pics under. There is a little snow cone stand to get cooled off on a super hot day in the same parking lot. Nice people & clean looking stand. I enjoyed it.

So, Im a tourist. I looked up things to see in Tulsa and the Golden Driller Statue popped up. I thought it was cool. Its a fun thing to see if you are in the area

At the U S gun show and it sucks . $14.00 to get in and you can walk it in about an hour. I would NOT recommend it. I wont come to another U S. Gun show.

A cool sight to see, theres also snow cone stand nearby to cool off if you’d like

Definitely a stop to visit / stop byI personally could slid off of the shoe of the statue.. should give you an idea how big the statue is !

This thing is huge!!!!! So cool.. its in front of the expo center. Great photo op.. I cant really say much about it.. Just a nice Lil picture to have and bragging rights..

Ive been looking at that statue since I was a child going to the fair. Love that even The Tulsa Driller himself wears a mask during COVID19.

Two stars. Women have, and do still, work in petroleum. So if we can paste tacky advertising on it, (those KMOD t-shirts)we can definitely change the dedication plaque without compromising anyone’s “integrity”.

We love bug things so our family really loved him.

This is a quick ten minute stop on your trip. The kids loved to see how tall this statue is. It is the 6th tallest statue in the world. It is a fun stop to stretch your legs and take a few pictures.

A fun detour for a pic and shaved ice!

Cool spot to visit in Tulsa, OK.

Chili bowl is amazing indoor dirt track racing, lots of big name racers, excellent fun!! Get tickets early...pit passes always available...we come here every year!

This mornings sunrise from the Golden Driller. Happy Wednesday!

There is a snow cone shack there and they have many flavors.

Great photo/instagram situation close to the airport.

A must see once in your life on Route 66. There was a car show going on, but you could drive up to it to take pictures. The statue was huge. It is in the parking lot of a convention center.

This big guy is one of the most photographed icons of Tulsa. He stands guard at the International Petroleum Exposition building in the Tulsa Fairgrounds. I enjoy seeing him every time I visit the building or drive by.

I think the Golden Driller is such a cool landmark in Tulsa. I love how it shows Tulsas history as the oil capital of the world. It seems like a lot of things are named after this one statue (sports teams, sushi rolls, etc.), which I think is kind of cool.You can find him right outside the Expo building. This is where the fairgrounds are every year in the fall. In the summer, you can visit the Golden Driller and enjoy one of the best snow cone shacks right next to it while youre at it.

Clean and taking precautions for covid.

Neat statue. Interesting history. If you are in town, check it out.

Really cool statue of an oil worker. It is absolutely huge! It stands in a parking lot so not much to do but look in awe at it or sit on it and take pictures but certainly worth seeing up close!PS. If you happen by at the right time, sometimes he has on a giant, real t-shirt!!?

Super neat place to visit. The statue itself is huge and def. a must see. There was a snow cone truck selling snow cones in front, which was yummy!

Great place for horse show. Well kept facilities. Need better security on property. Multiple car, truck break-ins. That isnt okay.

Whats not to love about this stellar Tulsa icon?! And now hes got the best snow cones in town at his feet!

You must visit when driving to Tulsa. Right now it is a símbolo of Tulsa for Tesla.

Super easy to access roadside attraction, just off Route 66. Parking is very accessible, just off the road. Not a crowded attraction. The history of the statue is interesting enough. Get a photo.

Its a statue. Its THE Tulsa statue. Five stars because what else would a true Tulsan rate our petroleum Statue of Liberty.

Its really nice to see and my kids loved being next to something that big.

Awesome World’s Largest attraction with easy access.

Great venue for gunshow or any type of trade show.

Home and Garden Show there was fantastic

U.S. ARABIAN & HALF ARABIAN HORSESHOW

Always a fun stop

Nice place. Worth the drive for it. A quick pic and move on to next.

As expected, and bigger than expected. It was worth our time for a photo op!

Tulsa fairgrounds/Riverspirit Expo center is cool. Friendly ppl

I have lived within a mile of our ever faithful Golden Driller statue my entire life. I love seeing him in his gigantic t-shirt every year during the fair. Hes always standing tall and, at night, shining brightly. My siblings and I all have our pics, as little kids, perched on his boot looking like little ants. He always makes me feel like Im home safe.

I love seeing what clothes they will dress him up in next!

I love taken photos here in Tulsa.

It was pretty cool to see. Also when visiting make sure you get a yummy snow cone.

Very cool piece of history!

Absolutely the 2nd most epic and iconic Tulsa attraction - naturally the Center of the Universe is 1st!

Had a AWESOME time!!!

Fun outdoor statue to take pictures by. Easy to get to just off roadway and easy to spot. Plenty of parking close by

Grandchildren enjoyed seeing it and standing beside it

Great place

While in the area we had to stop and check out the 4th talls statue in the United States. Was very cool to see in person.

Nice touch with the mask

I have so many amazing memories as a child going to the Tulsa State Fair or Expo Center for various shows. It is an absolutely amazing Route 66 statue and part of the history and culture of Tulsa. I have met people from all around the world whove come to Tulsa just to view the Tulsa Golden Driller.

Love this guy! Brings back all kinds of childhood memories with my grandparents and the State Fair and the Icecapades.

My children love getting snow cones and sitting by the driller. Love how he stands tall for Tulsa.

Whats not to love about the golden driller? Hes pretty fly for a gold guy.

Love the mask!

This is an iconic structure that towers over everything beneath it. it was the oil man that feed his family that grew the small town into the capitol of the world as it was once known. This is a must see location on every vacation or a nice place to eat lunch picnic tables for you and me. love it.

I went to Life Senior Services Lifestyle Senior Fair at the Expox Square. The fair was absolutely wonderful. There were a lot venues there. They served continental breakfast that morning the was marvelous. I look forward to going this July 30th. Call ahead if you want the breakfast.

Homie is tall.

Free to public! The 6th tallest US statue is always a cool thing to see! Now the Joshs Snow shack next to it makes a fun, cheap outing.

I am always happy Tulsans worked so hard to save the driller. Iconic oil capital history.

Well taken care of and a great land mark to see

This was really something to see! The last reviewer mentioned the construction vehicle in front of it....they must have been there around the same time we were. I could not understand why they did that. My friend, even bumped his head, on part of the contraption, while on his phone. We still managed to get some good pictures, by eliminating the vehicle, from view. This was our highlight of Tulsa, while Route 66ing!

Not really gold. Very disappointed.

Was a great stop off route 66 for pictures

As you would expect. It’s a landmark. Sits in front of the Expo Center

Went here for the gun show. Very busy but still found parking. Nice and air conditioned. Overall very great facility.

Its a giant gold statue with a nice butt.Seriously, though, why did you have to go and shave down the package of a topless man? Hes topless and still has a massive booty. Like, why was THAT what caused offense? And why did it cause offense in the first place? Its a statue.Anyway, its just a big statue. Nice to see, but not a must see.RIP Proportionate Package.

Nice place

One of my favorite place to be especially love to join the Tulsa State Fair

Went to the Tulsa Gun Show. Wanamaker gun show. It was fantastic. I set up and sold Vintage Turquoise Jewelry. Great show fantastic people, I meet people from all over the US. Loved it.

Cool.. Great gun show this weekend

Iconic landmark from Tulsas oil glory days. Means something to us who remember and lived those days.

We always enjoy events at the Expo!

We didnt know the history of the statue. For us it was just a quirky roadside attraction. We stopped to take a short break from our road trip. It was neat. We took some pictures. Didnt see a lot around. There was some sort of snow cone stand in the parking lot; which seemed popular when we were there.The building behind the golden driller is some sort of expo center. We did not check it out. But Id imagine if there was an event at the expo center -then Id imagine that itd be difficult to find a place to park.

Neat statue.

Wow beautiful statute on old highway 66 right in the heart of Tulsa!

Not much to say. Its cool to take family or folks that have never been to Tulsa to take a picture with the Golden driller. I take pictures every year at the Tulsa Auto Show. Plenty of parking unless theres a show at the expo center.

People don’t appreciate this Tulsa historical feature. Tulsa was the ‘Oil Capital of the World’ and this statue symbolizes an era gone by. There is so much history in the Tulsa oil business. Is it a must see like the Statue of Liberty? Likely no, but if you’re at an event or the state fair you’ll be reminded of Tulsa’s past. (By the way, the Statue of Liberty is a Muslim girl based on a pagan goddess and people love her.)

Love the reference to Tulsa being the oil capital of the world.....in the day

Biggest gun show in the world. Healthy 72 year old couldnt finish seeing 11 acres of guns in 8 hours!

The statue is right in front of the expo center on the fair grounds. Easy access and quick in and out. Just stayed for photo as that is all there is. Tall figure as advertised.

Tall.

A cool place to stop by on the drive across America

It was a large statue of a oil worker. In terms of status, it definitely was one. I was there to watch my son race BMX though, so I didnt look at it to y long. But it was definitely a statue that I walked by, so I give it 5 stars.

Neat fair grounds. Location is great.

Cool

It’s huge! Really neat to see! Definitely worth stopping and taking a couple of pictures. There isn’t really too much to do once you get there other than admire the size and get your pictures, but it is worth seeing!

When I was younger it was pretty cool, now its just a statue. Though the story of it is cool in it self. Its in a hard place to park and see upclose. since the building it is in front of is so big I usually dont consider it when we are there.

Still standing tall after all these years.

Great place to visit and a big plus that Josh snow cones is located beside it.

Pretty neat, stopped by a few days ago when we seen the sno cone stand opened by it.

The Tulsa drillers man statue is one of the most iconic landmarks within the state of Oklahoma that symbolizes Tulsa as the Oil Capitol of the World from the 1950s-1960s! I personally only view the marvelous statue once a year during the Tulsa State Fair.

I love going to a Driller game every now and then. This particular one i was in a hurry and didnt get to eat, so i tried there loaded nacho they were soggy and it definitely wasnt a finger food.

Unique place to visit. Not much more than the statue.

I thought it was a pretty neat monument to the oil workers that drilled for oil around tulsa. Worth the drive just to see it and take a picture. I wonder who the many was that posed do it.

I enjoyed going to the flea market. My main purpose was to find people selling records as I have some to sell.

Its a good place to visit for events and has plenty of close parking.

Excellent
