How to get to the Tulsa Air and Space Museum
TASM is at 3624 N 74th E Ave, adjacent to Tulsa International Airport in north-east Tulsa. From downtown Tulsa, the drive takes around 15 minutes via US-244 East. Tulsa Transit serves the airport area; check tulsatransit.org for current routes and stops. The museum is most easily reached by car.
Parking at the Tulsa Air and Space Museum
Parking is free in the on-site lot directly at the museum. No advance reservation is required for parking. The location near the airport means the museum is easy to reach from the motorway without navigating central Tulsa.
How long to spend at the Tulsa Air and Space Museum
Most visitors spend two to three hours at TASM, which is enough time to see the aircraft collection, walk through the exhibits, and attend one planetarium show. Families with young children may stay longer, particularly if they make use of the Toddler Time programme (Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9:30–10am) or the outdoor viewing area with views of Tulsa International Airport. Allow extra time if you plan to catch multiple planetarium shows; members can attend unlimited shows in a single visit.
Accessibility at the Tulsa Air and Space Museum
The museum, planetarium, and MD-80 aircraft exhibit are all wheelchair accessible. Complimentary wheelchairs and strollers are available on-site for use during your visit. Service animals are welcome throughout the museum and its surrounding areas.
For specific accessibility queries before your visit, contact TASM at (918) 834-9900 or via the contact form on the website.

A number of flight simulators and interactive exhibits are also available.
The James E. Bertelsmeyer Planetarium seats up to 110 guests and shows full-dome films on topics from black holes and NASA missions to the history of flight.

Additional immersive experiences — including Dark Side of the Moon (a Pink Floyd-themed dome show) and Sounds of the Ocean — operate on selected dates and require separate tickets. Details and bookings are on the official website.
There is no café or restaurant on-site. A limited selection of snacks and drinks is available in the gift shop. Food and drinks are not permitted in the museum hall or planetarium, but guests are welcome to bring a packed lunch and eat at the on-site pavilion.
