Tulsa, Oklahoma, is full of surprises. It’s a city where art deco buildings share the skyline with craft breweries, where music seeps out of every corner, and where a weekend getaway can feel effortless and refreshingly unexpected. For travelers who want something different, Tulsa delivers experiences that stick with you long after you leave. 


Culture and Art 

Elegant mansion with red roof and lush garden. Central fountain with cascading water steps, framed by symmetrical hedges. Bright day.

Start your day at the Philbrook Museum of Art, a mansion-turned-museum that feels grand without trying too hard. Wander through its galleries or stroll the gardens, and you’ll see why locals and visitors alike linger longer than planned.


For a mix of art and wildlife, Woolaroc Museum & Wildlife Preserve is a short drive away. This 3,700-acre ranch retreat offers Western art, historical exhibits, and wide-open spaces where bison and longhorns roam, giving a taste of Oklahoma’s frontier roots. 


Food and Drink 

Retro roadside signs on Route 66 under a blue sky, with a large cowboy statue holding a silver object. Text includes Buck's on 66, Cosmic Curios, Souvenirs, and Toys.

Tulsa’s food scene punches above its weight. From barbecue joints that know their brisket to inventive small plates downtown, it’s easy to eat well without the hassle of long waits or reservations. Time your visit with a local festival and you’ll leave with a belly full of flavor and a camera full of memorable moments. 


Music and Nightlife 

Tulsa has a rich musical history, from blues to jazz. Catch a live show at Cain’s Ballroom or stroll through the neighborhoods and let the city’s rhythm guide you. Music is everywhere, from casual spots to hidden gems, giving your weekend an unexpected soundtrack. 


Neighborhoods to Explore 

City skyline with tall buildings under a blue sky, fountains in a pond, and lush green trees in the foreground create a serene scene.

Cherry Street is perfect for boutique shopping and coffee stops, while the Brady Arts District adds murals, galleries, and energy that makes you glad you came. Don’t miss the Center of the Universe, a mysterious acoustic spot downtown where your voice echoes back louder than you expect. It’s one of those playful Tulsa quirks that makes exploring feel like a small adventure every few steps. 


Outdoors and Exploration 

If fresh air is part of your plan, head to the Keystone Ancient Forest just outside Tulsa. Walk among ancient cedar trees, enjoy quiet trails, and see wildlife up close. Between urban charm and these natural escapes, Tulsa offers a weekend that balances city energy and serene moments. 


Getting There 

Nonstop from MSP’s Terminal 2. Spend less time in transit and more time exploring. Affordable fares, convenient schedules, and layover-free service make planning a weekend or longer trip easy and stress-free. 


Tulsa is quietly ambitious, like the traveler who sneaks in one more stop before sunset. It is accessible, surprising, and full of those small victories that make travel feel worth it. Pack light, pick your weekend, and go discover a city that is ready to surprise you.
