We welcome student groups to the Edward L. Gaylord-T. Boone Pickens Oklahoma Heritage Museum! To make a reservation for your group, call the Museum Services Department at 405.235.4458 or download the reservation form and e-mail to fieldtrips@oklahomaheritage.com or fax to 405.235.2714. Your students can even brush up on their Oklahoma history knowledge before they come by taking our Oklahoma Hall of Fame Quiz!
The Gaylord-Pickens Museum is offering 4,500 FREE FIELD TRIPS during the 2008-2009 school year, thanks to the generosity of Dell and the OHA Teen Board. The free field trip program includes free admission to the Museum and the teacher's choice of a free lunch for each student or a gas card to help with transportation, in the amount of $3 per student.

Tickets should then be distributed to each individual in the group.
If you choose, your student group can make use of our orientation room, complete with light boxes and marker boards for each of the five characteristics of an Oklahoman – generosity, perseverance, pioneer spirit, optimism and individuality. Your group members can discuss what these characteristics mean to them before or after your tour.
Buses may load/unload passengers on the north side of the building at the main entrance but must park at the north end of the parking lot in the designated bus parking area.
Photography, video or tape recording in the exhibits is only allowed with special permission from the Oklahoma Heritage Museum's administrative staff. Please silence cell phones and pagers to refrain from disturbing other guests’ museum experience.
