Explore working cowboy culture in Oklahoma City with a guided visit to the Oklahoma National Stockyards, lunch at Cattlemen’s Cafe, and time at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum.
The stockyards are an authentic working cattle auction with moving trucks, trailers, horses, and livestock. You’ll climb wood plank stairs and walk a 100+ yard narrow, elevated wood plank catwalk; it’s not recommended for guests with a fear of heights or restricted mobility. Gratuity for your guide is not included.
Full refunds are offered for cancelation requests received 72-hours prior to your scheduled tour. Unfortunately, refunds are not available with less than 72 hours notice because we have incurred expenses related to your booking.

Step inside the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum and find yourself surrounded by the sweeping story of the American West. Bronze sculptures catch the afternoon light, gallery walls hold paintings of vast open plains, and the smell of aged leather drifts through exhibition halls that feel both grand and intimate. The National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum invites you to slow down, look closely, and connect with a chapter of American life that still resonates deeply.
