While still with Tulsa PD we worked the Blue Angles show and afterwards we had a get together at the Tulsa Air and Space Museum prior to its opening. It has now really become a worthwhile Museum!!!!
I brought my son today. Being an aviation nut I was a little disappointed. There were several volunteers on hand to help with exhibits but some of them were not the most friendly or approachable. The one who was helping with the F16 in the wind tunnel was really nice to my son and let him fly it a couple of times. There were some cool things, but eh......So we went to to planetarium next door. There was no staff or volunteer there. There was a sign on several closed doors that said do not open if they are closed so we looked at the few exhibits and hit the road. Maybe the planetarium is cooler with the doors open?I think for the price the zoo is a better deal.
Small air museum. The docents are knowledgable. We were there for a tribute to George Warde as he contributed to getting the museum started in Tulsa.
This is not a huge exhibition but it is worth the visit if you are an aviation nut. They keep expanding the exhibits and the volunteers are very knowledgeable and love to chat. We have taken our teen grandsons a couple of times and always see something different. Looking forward to the opening of the American Airlines movie theatre.
TASM is a relative new and continually evolving and expanding education display of Tulsa aviation and space heritage. We visit yearly even though we live in Tulsa to see what is new. There is also an attached planetarium. The museum also has a strong educational program for the community youth. Located on the airport, it chronicles the rich history of aviation from the early days through the space era. The museum was a finalist to receive one of the Space Shuttles when they were decommissioned - to commemorate the significant amount of space hardware designed and fabricated in Tulsa, including the graphite composite Shuttle pay-load bay doors.
All ages will enjoy this museum. There is a lot to read for adults, many activities for children. Kids love climbing in and out of airplanes and doing the learning games. There is lots to learn and things to see. It is expensive but admission includes a planetarium show..
We loved the "Stars" movie at the planetarium. The seating was very comfortable. However, going as a couple, the air and space museum was boring.
Also underfunded like the zoo. But I was out there anyway and needed to kill some time with the kids. You can get up close to an F16. The ticket price is a little steep for what you get to see. I spend my money on the acquaium first before coming here.
没什么意思,有一架F14,还有几个中小型飞机,其他的真的感觉就是像哄小孩。不值得去。有个小3d电影院,放的片子很幼稚。。。 快睡着了。
This is a great little museum that has lots of hands-on activities. We wished we had had more time to spend, as we arrived about 90 minutes before closing time. Our grandkids aged 10 and 7 enjoyed it very much. Our compliments to the volunteers and employees who showed the kids how to simulate a rocket launch and use a robotic arm, helping to maximize our time. Plan to spend at least 2 1/2-3 hours if you want to have time to do the flight simulators, planetarium and other activities. We will go back and make sure we have more time next time!
