If you like WWII history then the Batfish is a great place to visit. Explore what it must have been like to be a soldier on a tight cramped submarine. I don’t know how 80 people could have served in an area so small. Prior to entering the sub there is a great military museum that has lots of memorabilia from people who served on the Batfish. Take your time wondering around the sub and be sure to explore all areas. It’s a great way to spend an afternoon.

Housed in the historic Union Indian Agency building, the museum was opened in 1966 and houses an extensive collection of traditional art produced by American artists of Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muscogee (Creek) and Seminole descent. It has the world's largest collection of Jerome Tiger originals, including “Stickballer”, his only major sculpture, which is on permanent display in the gallery.
Exhibits featuring various aspects of the history and culture of the five tribes are displayed downstairs whilst upstairs there are many artifacts mixed in with local temporary art competition exhibits together with the Museum's permanent collections.
A well presented museum with informative friendly staff. There is a gift shop for a range of souvenirs and ample onsite parking. Worth a visit.

The Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame Museum is wonderful! The displays in the museum are excellent...and truly shows the incredible and rich history of the music and musicians that have called Oklahoma home. If you really want to get the real information about Oklahoma and it music history, and it's music icons...ask for Ron Boren (related to Mae Boren Axton) to give you the tour. His knowledge is second to none. He is incredible! The biggest surprise of the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame...it has no entrance fee...yep it is FREE to tour! The "Hall" is an old "Frisco" Railroad warehouse, and is charming. Every Thursday, the Hall has "live" music shows of some of the best performers in Oklahoma. All in all..a wonderful experience...and worth making the effort to see...and experience!

This place was dirty.The water was filthy. You couldn't bring in bottled water. You couldn't bring in floaties, mind you i have a 5yr old son.Went around the lazy river 4 times and on the 5th time they said my son needed a raft he was riding with me. For 20$ & 4$ for a locker this place sucked. I'm from Okmulgee Ok which is about 45min as away, I will no waste my time or money on this place ever again.

This small museum is mostly full of Muskogee area artifacts and information. I went to see the original headstone and gun that belonged to Belle Starr. When we were there, they were having a conference on Bass Reeves, the first African-American U.S. Deputy Marshall west of the Mississippi River. There was a western-style shootout reenactment in the nearby grass and tours of the African American one room school house that they are fixing up.

This small museum is located on the Bacone college campus. There are many interesting artifacts located here. The displays are primarily about the life of Indians in Oklahoma. We spent longer there than we had anticipated because we kept finding interesting things.

For the first time in MANY years I wanted to revisit Spaulding Park. "Spaulding" holds many childhood memories for me. It is smaller than I remember and it appeared the swimming pool has been closed. There is a small pond for children to fish and there is a gazebo at the end of dock, in the lake.
There are bike and walking paths, picnic tables, tennis and basketball courts.
It was quiet when I was there at midday during the week but a few folks were around enjoy a quiet visit. It's still a nice little city park, a good place to visit for while... maybe create a memory or two.
10. Muscogee Creek Nation Casino

Reviewed By Jennifer L - Austin, Texas
I don't go to casinos often and now I know why. The smoke was almost unbearable and the number of machines in the non-smoking room were minimal. The personal was friendly when you could get their attention. I wanted to check a coat, not do-able. It was ladies night, so that combined with signing up for a players card and it being my birthday month, I started off with $15 of their $$...should have played penny slots and people watched. Drinks and sandwich were priced right. Not sure what I expected, certainly more action. Perhaps that's the way of small casinos.
