Sarah SmithSuch an amazing place! It was fun for the whole family! The restrooms are clean, the staff are friendly and informative, and there was so much to see and learn! It was super cheap, two adults and 2 children 2 years and under was $10! We'll be going again very soon!

Prepping In ProgressThis was a truly interesting visit. It was a great walk through history of the oil field and how it was developed. You get a glimpse into everyday life in the development days.

Roberta PeekI had read on Google that at noon they turn on the gusher "fountain" to show how it works. That is not the case. They only do it for special occasions or if you pay like $50 for them to fill the water tank to be able to see it. So, if you are coming just to see that don't waste your time. But there is a museum here for $5 entry fee if you are interested in that.
