The Fossil Study Rock  and Living Fossil Trees   

Come investigate Oklahoma’s past! We recommend school groups explore the museum using one of our activity sheets or the Explore History app. Oklahoma History Center exhibits and programs address the majority of Oklahoma Academic Standards for every subject! Use ourTeachers’ Gallery Guides and Pre-visit/Follow-up Lessons to plan and prepare for your field trip. Costs

Thanks to a grant from the Inasmuch Foundation, Oklahoma public, private, and homeschool groups of 10 or more who schedule their field trips with the education department at least two weeks in advance will receive free admission for students, teachers, and chaperones. Chaperones must be at least eighteen years of age and we recommend a student to teacher/chaperone ratio of 5:1, but require 10:1.

Groups that do not schedule their visit with the museum will pay the posted admission fees. General admission to the Oklahoma History Center is $7 for adults, $5 for seniors or adult groups of ten or more, and $4 for students. Veterans, active-duty military, and their dependents receive free admission with ID.

Should you have any questions or need to revise or cancel your reservation, please contact the education department at 405-522-0798 or education@okhistory.org.

More than a Magic Show
Dr. Lon's Amazing Science Magic Show is not like a typical magic show that relies on tricks and sleight of hand. Dr. Lon's show is designed to display the marvels of science by demonstrating interesting phenomena ... phenomena that may appear “magical” but can be explained by principles of science. You might say it highlights the marvels and mysteries of the grand and wonderful universe we live in, but without the need for tricks or deception. If you're looking for something other than a standard magic show ... a show that is entertaining, engaging, and educational ... a show that actually lets the audience in on "the trick" ... make a date with Dr. Lon.

The show can be customized in a variety of ways ...
- To fit the age group: K-6 kids, pre-teens, adolescents, adults
- To fit the occasion: library programs, school programs, private parties, corporate events
- To fit the theme: STEM programs, science awareness programs, party-atmosphere, demonstrations tied to a message (leadership, inspiration, etc.)

Dr. Lon Will Be Your Guide from Awe to Aha!
Dr. Lon has a passion and the know-how for making science come alive—making it exciting and relevant for kids and adults alike. In addition to being an experienced educator, entertainer, and public speaker, he is is also an engaging storyteller and author of the children's book, Where Do Magical Banjos Come From? .

Here you will find information about Oklahoma past and present. Enjoy your stay!
