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.
