The Native American exchange of information program that takes place at the Chickasaw Cultural Center is not only very educational,but is very entertaining as well. The natural setting of the center is one that leaves very little to be desired by the visitor.Both old and young can enjoy this attraction. For the visitor that might have a bit of a walking disability the staff can provide transportation to and from any display on the property. If you are in the area of Sulphur Oklahoma USA,you will be very happy that you stopped into the Chickasaw Cultural Center. D.J. Julian

The state's first national park.
Reviewed By CKT808 - Honolulu, Hawaii
We were driving through the area and made a stop at this NRA. It was more developed than we expected. There were lots of really nice picnic areas and campgrounds. Our first stop was at the nature center, where there was lots of interesting displays including some live snakes, fish and turtles. There were lots of little birds on some bird feeders behind the building. Then we visited the smallest lake and stopped at the bison area. The bison were amazing. One of the staff had just put out some feed for the bison, so they came running up to get the food. One huge bull came thundering up. It was a little scary even though there was a fence between us and the bison. This NRA is worth a short stop, and great for an extended stay if you are into fishing, hiking, or camping. Kids would love it.

We stopped in to the Chickasaw Visitor Center to gather information about things to do and see in the south central part of Oklahoma. This facility offers a variety of items for sale that originate in the Chickasaw Nation. There are nice restrooms and complimentary coffee. It is adjacent to the Bedre chocolate factory, so if you stop for one, check out the other.

8. Arbuckle Trail Rides
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 14 reviews
Reviewed By Ann K - San Francisco, California
It was nice to be out for the day with my daughter and it was an average trailride. Some things to take note of though: When you enter the property there are no signs where to park, it is kind of confusing. It seemed unkept/unprofessional. There were no introductions at first, no instructions of where to go or what to do(like basic-you never walk behind a horse-which there was a lot of that going on) It seemed chaotic as to what staff was supposed to do what. There are no waivers to sign, the owner was on her cell phone the whole time trying to take care of things (busy time with spring break). We asked one lady who worked there what our horses' names were and she said, "They don't know them, so it doesn't matter anyways" Every trail ride I have been on the horses know their names and respond to them. We thought that was strange. Watching the staff get the 9 horses into the trailer was also an interesting experience. The trail ride itself was okay, kind of boring, the guy who led it (we were under the impression there would be 2 guides-one in front and back) had just been working there a few weeks, nice guy, but didn't know a lot or didn't offer a lot about OK, the nature, the trail, etc. Another thing to note is that we didn't know that we had to get back into our car and follow the horse trailer to the trailhead to start out. That was fine but...the horse trailer was travelling very fast and was hard to keep up with in an area that we were unfamiliar with. Also, when we were done, we were left on our own to get out of the national recreation area so take a map and make sure you have gas. The worst part was my 12 yo daughter's helmet that I didn't realize until it was too late (it was duct taped together in the front and in the back most of the hard plastic was gone -you could just see the lining). This is unacceptable. For the most part it was fine, we wouldn't do it again though. If you are in the area, you can try it as it seemed to be the only trail ride experience available.

This Chickasaw Nation pocket park across the street from three major Chickasaw Nation tourist properties in Sulphur, OK, has culturally meaningful, original bronze sculptures; water features; native plant landscaping; walking paths; and benches under a wooden arbor. It is very relaxing and a nice stop on your walk to see historic downtown Sulphur or coming back to your car or The Artesian Hotel from a stroll through Flower Park to collect some Sulphur mineral water at Vendome Well or the famous Lincoln Bridge in nearby Platt Historic District of the U.S. National Park Service Chickasaw National Recreation Area.
