Cowboy for a Day

Walk the catwalk to watch cowboys move cattle through a maze of pens, hear the chatter of the auctioneer, get some dust on your boots in the livestock area and learn how cattle shaped Oklahoma City.

Here, you’ll sample lamb fries — a true cowboy delicacy — and enjoy a classic steak lunch in a dining room filled with history, photos, and generations of cowboy lore.

The afternoon wraps up where the stories you encountered earlier in the day come to life through art, artifacts, rodeo legends, and Western films. From frontier settlers to modern cowboys, this iconic museum offers a deeper look at the people and values that shaped the American West.
