Cool to see this museum of bones of animals and humans and every critter, tiny to huge. The evolution of human bones is sweet! They have scavenger for the kids. It was very fascinating to see the bone structure of many animals that I have never see at such a level. My husband was quite impressed by the turtle and snack bone exhibit. All in all, it was all so amazing. It was well worth the $30.46 for entry.

Attended a Meet & Mingle Chamber event at this museum. First, I didn't even know it existed so I was definitely intrigued when I saw the location on the chamber invitation. There's a variety of skeletons to see, from humans, bears, and giraffes, to dinosaurs and birds (and more)! Kids and adults can do a scavenger hunt throughout the museum to make the learning even more fun. They have guided tours and interactive sections for groups. It's a small museum with a gift shop so probably a 2-3 hour adventure. Check it out!

My daughter saw a video on YouTube about the Skeleton's Museum of Osteology in Oklahoma City and their star, Indy. After watching the video, she asked if we could go on a family vacation to Oklahoma City. We are from Las Vegas and decided to book a week at Oklahoma City before the holidays!We visited the Skeletons Museum of Osteology on a Monday morning as soon as it opened. It is the latest Osteology Museum in the U.S. Current hours of operation are the followingMonday - Friday: 9:00 A.M - 5:00 P.MSaturday: 10:00 A.M - 5:00 P.MSunday: 11:00 A.M - 5:00 P.M You can visit their website to view upcoming events. Some of their 2024 events include the followingDIY SkullariumJunior Forensics Homeschool Days: IE: Animal CSIThe museum displays over 450 real skeletons from all over the world. It provides a wide range of educational opportunities. Some of the exhibits include human anatomy & Forensics, locomotion & Skeleton Adaptions, Oklahoma Wildlife, and so much more! This museum is family-owned and operated! The admission prices are inexpensive, and we spent about a half day inside the museum.Adults (12+): $13.00Youth (3-11): $11.00Children under 3: Free with paid adultAfter we paid, we were given a few educational sheets to complete. If you get the questions correct, you're provided a small gift at the gift shop. The forensics & pathology were interesting. I didn't realize how much the human skull changes in such a short period of time. There was an exhibit that guided you through the timeline of skull development and even a section on facial reconstruction. It was interesting and intriguing, and I learned a lot! One of the parts of the exhibit showed oral hygiene. There were different jaws and the oral impact on the jaw. The exhibit also had areas for different animals and their locomotion.Aerial Locomotion: FlightArboreal Locomotion: Tree ClimbingAquatic Locomotion: SwimmingCursorial Locomotion: RunningFossorial Locomotion: DiggingSaltatorial Locomotion: JumpingThe museum was also decorated for the holidays. There was a holiday photo booth with a festive tree on display! My daughter also had a chance to say "Hi" to Sir Indiana Jones, Indy. Sir Indy is a rescued cat and is the official Kitty of Skulls! We also bought a few memorabilia items at the gift shop. I'm so glad that we had a chance to have a family vacation in OKC and visit the Skeletons Museum of Osteology.

What a little big museum! So fun! We had a blast! They have age appropriate scavenger hunts, for different ages, that help make the experience more fun. There was so much to see. A must visit. Also, we planned the visit with the Skull-arium activity, so then after visiting the museum for quite a while, we enjoyed the activity for another hour and a half. The gift shop had a variety of things to purchase from inexpensive to very expensive. And turning in your scavenger hunt rewards you with a small treasure!

Never thought skeletons would be this interesting. It was well with the trip and tickets- I thought my young daughter would be afraid. She absolutely was so interested and amazed with all the human skeletons!

It was even more fun than we expected. It was great for kids. We spent about 2 hrs and took about 15 pictures. We learned a lot. One kid was surprised about Hydrocephalus and we talked about how technology could help the human and animal shown there. There was an exhibit showing how bad oral hygiene affected the test and jaws.

This place was far far more interesting than I thought it would be. They even have skeletons of humans with arthritic type issues. Bats, rats, gnats... You name it there's a skeleton for nearly everything! Life-size, rhinos, giraffes, hippos, whale. It really is a must see!
