Start with the history. As Tulsa’s voice for architecture and design, the Tulsa Foundation for Architecture is your #1 go-to for city tours. Since 1995, TFA has offered high-quality walking tours to thousands of Tulsa visitors and residents. Depending on your trip date, you might also be able to get in on the monthly TFA 2nd Saturday tours – each with its own theme and list of destinations.
Experience one of the city’s most diverse art studios located on historic Route 66 in the Meadow Gold District . Enjoy a Create X Art Experience™ in this working artist studio where you are actively immersed in the creation of art through artistic expression. Book a session online – no experience necessary.
NY-style pizza in the Downtown Tulsa Arts District. Get it by the slice or order a huge 20" specialty pizza - complete with funky and creative toppings. But it doesn't stop there! Empire Slice House also offers a great variety of starters like garlic knots, Andre's Mini Meatballs, and When I Dip - making it an experience in and of itself.
Stroll through the stunning greenery and radiant landscapes of the Tulsa Botanic Garden. Offering 170 acres of vibrant scenery, explore the floral terraces, lake trail, and a Children’s Discovery Garden. Tulsa Botanic Garden offers several seasonal events throughout the year, including Autumn in the Garden and Botanic Garden of Lights.
End your Tulsa experience with a tropical adventure at the city’s rum & tiki bar: Saturn Room.
