My friends and I enjoyed the adult only evening at the Museum. They had trivia, a scavenger hunt, food, and painting. It was a fun time, and the 3 hours of the program went by pretty quickly. If any time you see this Museum having another event like this, I recommend you try it, especially if it's for you.See more..

4.5Beavers Bend Wildlife Museum(6 reviews) - Amazing display of taxidermy talent! Speciality Museums • Natural History Museums
The small charge (6.50 for seniors) was well worth it. Museum tour takes you (self guided) with audio unit to different displays covering local wildlife and all the way to the African continent. There are places to sit and enjoy yourself. We spent nearly an hour. During the last half of the tour you come to a window where you can watch the taxidermist at work! He was working on an elk head and it was very interesting. He and his wife own the museum and he has done all the taxidermy work. Very Impressive. Well worth the time!!!! See more..
4.5Ames Astrobleme Museum(5 reviews) - Great little stop; Interesting peek into the geologic past Sunday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent < 1 hour Natural History Museums • Science Museums
The Ames Astrobleme Museum brings to attention a cataclysmic event from some 450 million years ago. The town of Ames sits above the center of an ancient crater, also known as an astrobleme, caused by the impact of a meteor 1,000 feet in diameter. While the crater filled in with sediment over the years and cannot be seen, its impact continues to this day, as the geological formation created by the impact led to prime conditions for the trapping of oil and natural gas deposits. The museum provides a good video describing the impact and its ongoing legacy for the area. The walk-through area also includes posters describing the meteor, its impact, and the formation of the fossil fuels deposits. It was a great little stop as we meandered through the Oklahoma countryside, providing a good reason to get out of the car and learn about something new. All of my kids - ages 2 to 9 - were engaged by the video and in hearing about the giant meteor. Check it out!See more..
5.0Kenton Museum(1 review) - Very interesting museum! Speciality Museums • Natural History Museums • History Museums Loved this museum! We were given a tour of the museum and enjoyed every minute of it. The exhibits were about the local area and were very interesting. There are displays on the history of Kenton, dinosuaurs who roamed this area, fossils, a one room cabin and much more. If you are in the Black Mesa area, highly recommend stopping here. Call ahead for opening times since they are not open every day.See more..
