With 125 outdoor parks suited for every activity and a zoo that features almost 3,000 animal species, Tulsa is a city you can’t miss. For nature lovers, the Redbud Valley Natural Preserve at the Oxley Nature Center is a breathtaking conservation area, making it perfect for a relaxing afternoon hike. Or check out the Turkey Mountain Urban Wilderness: 300 acres of woodland situated right in the middle of Tulsa.
If you’re not an outdoor buff, there’s plenty for you, too. The Philbrook Museum of Art, housed in an Italian Renaissance mansion, is home to one of the finest Renaissance and Baroque art galleries in the United States. And the Gilcrease Museum of the Americas has extensive exhibits and displays of American history and art. Whatever your interests, you’ll find our Tulsa hotels close by.
If you’ve got the need for speed, check out the annual Chili Bowl, an indoor car racing event. Just outside the Tulsa Expo Center where the event is held, snap a picture with the iconic Golden Driller statue, standing at 76 feet tall.
And before you head back to your Tulsa hotel room, take in a concert at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center or enjoy tortilla soup, a cocktail and live music at Full Moon in the Cherry Street District.
