Book Tour
SUMMER CAMP
Built in 1997, the Goddard Children's Museum is a 24,000 square foot two story building, uniquely designed to fit the existing landscape at its location. Visitors will find several different scenarios throughout the museum.
NATIVE CULTURE ROOM
One of the true treasures of the museum is the "Native American Exhibit." Tribes native to this area helped create an authentic and hands-on exhibit of Native American cultures. Listening to our Native American elders teach their culture and language is truly on e of the highlights of the day. These displays allow you to get a sense of how Native American culture has influenced us today. To be able to handle actual artifacts, beat an authentic animal skin drum, walk through our Teepee or wigwam and be taught by our professional staff is truly an enlightening experience.

Graffham Hall is home to Oklahoma's state dinosaur. "Fran" is a 40-foot long, 10-foot high "Acrocanthasaurus" (ACROcan-THE-sar-US (High Spine Lizard) discovered in Southeastern Oklahoma and donated to the Children's Museum in 1998.
