This is a very well constructed historical experience about the birth of the earth and it's evolution to present day. Broken down into land, animals creatures and man. Needed far more time than the two hours we had to really gain the full experience of the museum, enjoy.

This is a great museum, the dinosaur exhibits are fantastic. It is not a huge museum but you can easily spend 2 to 3 hours there. The staff is very friendly and informative, so ask those questions! Kids of all ages will love this museum. If you are in Norman you must go see this place, you will be glad... More

Great traveling exhibits. There is some neat stuff on the first floor but I was disappointed with the second. Overall a fun way to spend the day.

Dinosaur exhibit among the best in the world. Layout is fantastic. Very kid friendly. Easy to access and won't cost you an arm and a leg.

We have been to the museum several times. Great exhibits and lots to see. Kids loved it. The dinosaur skeletons are really fun. You are missing out if you don't visit. Great for ages 1 to 101!

Such a great museum, where do I start!? You will find a variety of sights at this museum, from riding an elevator to the second floor to stare a Dino in the face, to sitting in the canoe of a native, this museum offers some great attractions! Check their site monthly for upcoming events as well; they often offer free... More

Sam Noble museum provided entertainment to kids of all ages. We had a coupon, but the rates were already reasonable. Kids love the dinosaur skeleton exhibit.

We enjoyed some time here looking at fossils, bones, collections, and a live presentation. I liked the Oklahoma connection. Oklahoma had so many dinosaurs and rich history found here. Kids enjoy the dinosaurs. We found a 2 for 1 admission coupon online, and read that they have free admission on the first Monday of the month.

For Oklahoma, this is one of the best museum's in the state. The exhibits are very lifelike, they even have the largest dinosaur head ever discovered. Spoiler alert, it's freaking massive. Parking is ample. The walks are short. Expect to be there between 1.5-3 hours. The staff is kind and informative. Questions about creation are bound to come up from... More
