When you spend most of your life with your head in the clouds, chances are your Tulsa journey will be enhanced with a visit to the Tulsa Air and Space Museum and Planetarium. Offering an in-depth peek into life beyond the boundaries of our home planet, the Tulsa Air and Space Museum has been a part of Tulsa since 1998, opening its planetarium in 2006. And because we at StayInTulsaOK know that our guests are as varied in their interests as snowflakes are different, we are providing this guide to the museum and planetarium, giving travelers the opportunity to see if the stars will align for a visit to this amazing place.
Tulsa Air and Space Museum is Located at 3624 N. 74th E Avenue
With a mission that proclaims they are “Honoring the Past, Inspiring the Future,” you might expect to see something extra special at the Tulsa Air and Space Museum, and you won’t be wrong. Offering over 19,000 square feet of historical exhibits, hands-on activities, and a view of the planets that is virtually unlimited, is it any wonder this is a favorite family attraction for travelers and hometown residents? Learn about the heroic exploits of the Tuskegee Airmen, train to be a pilot on a flight simulator that feels so real, you may expect to earn your wings, explore the decommissioned planes of American Airlines, enjoying the opportunity to sit in first class, and practice for your time in space on the shuttle simulator. The only limits to your enjoyment of this fantastic museum is the ones your imagination places on you!
