We know the museum is a great destination for younger visitors, but it’s always nice when others agree. The National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum was recently featured in The Budget Traveler‘s list of “Things to do with kids in and around Oklahoma City.” Here’s what they had to say:
“The Hollywood, music and literary ideal of the American West has helped ensure the cowboy remains an iconic figure in our culture, and the fantastical lifestyle they are thought to have led continues to be mimicked as a form of imaginative role-play by children around the world. In Oklahoma, little ones and adults alike can immerse themselves in cowboy culture at this fabulous museum, which is committed to the collection and preservation of Western art and artefacts, while educating visitors on the enduring legacy of the American West. Highlights include the museum’s exhibition wing, which houses a turn-of-the-century town and interactive history galleries that focus on the American cowboy, rodeos, Native American culture, Victorian firearms, frontier military and Western performers.”
