When I was younger we visited the Cowboy Hall of Fame every summer and I loved it...now they have changed it to the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum and we still love it. The art, the displays and the "old town" are magnificent. We could have taken our time and it would have taken at least two days to... More

The very informational and attractive displays are what I liked. There is a wide range of information about the Old West, and also about western movies and movie stars. They also have some good western art (although your best bet is to go to Tulsa for that, to the Gilcrease Museum) More

It was great. Beautiful place and lot bigger than I even imagined. I was there about two hours and still didn't make it to everything. I especially like the tribute to western movie stars and the replica town you can walk through. It might be better to have it more readily displayed where it's okay to take pictures, but other...

There are lots of places to visit while in Oklahoma City, but to get a true taste of life on the range, you have to saddle up and stop at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. About 20 minutes from Bricktown, this beautifully appointed museum features inspiring prairie art and artifacts from real cowboys and prairie settlers. The children's... More

Art and history museum all in one! From old native artifacts to the history of the west, both worlds are brought together under one roof and beautiful paintings and statues decorate the entirety. Not to be missed is the old western town set at night. You'll be transported back through time to see what kind of place our ancestors lived... More

I really loved those statures and the many different style paintings of the "wild west". The exhibits about cowboy life, frontier living and native americans was very good too. More

So much to see in this museum. Wish we could have stayed all day. There is truly something for everyone - rodeo exhibit, fabulous art, amazing sculptures, Native American memorabilia, firearm collection,western performers exhibit, and so much more. We only spent 2 hours and missed a lot. It can be overwhelming. More
