This is more than a hidden gem. It's an amazing experience that lets visitors explore nature, history, art, architecture, and Frank Phillips' fascinating story. I actually enjoyed visiting here more than I do going to the Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody, and I like that museum! Woolaroc's collections are amazing; you stand inches from art, pottery, clothing, and more. The day we visited, it wasn't crowded. They provide seating because you'll need a moment to digest the amazing sights you've just seen before moving on. fThe 3700 acre site sits so beautifully in the Eastern Oklahoma landscape that you need to pause in one of the many reflection areas and give thanks for whoever originally planned this. On that note, I spent ample time observing local wildlife, including collared lizards and humming birds sampling trumpet vine blossoms. I was so excited to discover artifacts from the Kenton Indian Caves. I knew they were collected, but I had no idea where they'd gone. Now I do. The Puebloan Pottery collection is wonderful. Be sure to enjoy the mosaics surrounding the museum doors and the cool designs on the doors.

This museum and grounds was quite the pleasant surprise! Upon entering the grounds you are given a map as well as a QR code that sends you to an informative YouTube video about the history of Woolaroc. While we were driving along, we saw bison, longhorn steer, and even some Japanese sika deer roaming freely on the grounds. We turned and stopped at an outdoor area to learn about the Osage people and had the opportunity to throw a Tomahawk. Upon traveling to the lodge and museum, we were pleasantly surprised to discover an impressive museum full of artwork, historical artifacts, and even a working model train on the lower level. While the snack bar was closed for the day, we did still have time to pet an ostrich among several other animals. We stopped at the lodge and found an outstanding view of the pond below. As a bonus, we saw hundreds of wild horses on the acres of the Prairie National Wild Horse Refuge on the way to Bartlesville!

While driving the loop through the preserve, we saw countless buffalo and deer along with various species of cows. The museum was absolutely amazing, so much history. The artifacts, paintings, sculptures, gun collections, etc were truly an educational experience. Woolaroc is a must see place to visit.

Admire Mr Phillips creating the foundation to keep his legacy alive. We started our visit to Bartlesville at the Phillips home in town. We feel that tour provided the background history of who Mr Phillip was and this site complements and builds on that. This was a perfect day trip.

So much to learn and discover. Spent a few hours in the museum, make sure you check out the lodge. Playground and petting zoo, wear walking shoes to discover the trails....3 different lengths/levels. Mountain Man is a must!

We had a delightful visit to the Woolaroc Ranch and museum! The price is reasonable, $15 each for adults. The drive up to the facility is beautiful, filled with all sorts of animals roaming free. We headed to the information building and were greeted by a friendly docent. We discovered that several of the people working there were volunteers. They were knowledgeable about the history of the facility. The museum was filled with rooms of artifacts and the history of Frank Phillips. There was a cafe on sight. We didn’t eat there but it smelled good! We walked on one the trails. I would recommend this to families and couples for a pleasant visit.

An amazing place to visit! First time seeing bison and getting to throw a tomahawk at Mountain Man Camp. Frank Phillips’s eccentric collection also did not disappoint. I do not know where else you would be able to see so many interesting and authentic pieces. Helpful and friendly staff also!
