Group Tour Logistics

[su_row][su_column size=”1/2″]The Chisholm Trail Heritage Center can accommodate groups of up to several hundred people. We offer all of our guests trained, professional tour guides who provide interpretation, direction, and potential giggles.
The Center is not a typical dusty-rusty ol’ venue. Our goal is to give your group a fantastic experience they will remember for a lifetime. Whether you are a kid or a kid at heart, we have plenty of buttons to push and drawers to open. You can mount up and swing a rope at Hollywood the Steer. Our especially sassy chuckwagon is guaranteed to make you smile or grimace.

We are more than fun; our facility offers a superior art gallery, interpretive and interactive exhibits, and history of the Chisholm Trail and the southern plains in the context of post-civil war America. This unique history speaks to the building blocks of our country – entrepreneurship, can-do spirit, capitalism, and good old fashioned hard work.

Tour Specifications:

Logistics

Groups from 2-200 can be accommodated inside the Center at using our trained staff and a rotation system. Groups of several thousand can be accommodated on our grounds.
Single groups (groups that are kept together) are generally about 30 people due to the seating in the Campfire Theater.
The Experience Theater has a capacity of 55 “Experience” seats with an ability to seat up to 70 with standard chairs. Groups larger than about 30 will be separated into smaller groups.
Corporate events of several thousand people have utilized the Chisholm Trail Heritage Center’s property.
Utilizing the entire facility, we have hosted sit down meals for up to 600. This does require at least 30 days notice.
Space is available for meetings and meals at the Center pending other booked obligations during your visit. See our facility page for details.

Costs

For groups smaller than 20 people, general admission prices apply. Groups of 20-75 persons are $5.00 per person and groups of over 76 persons are $4.00.
- Special rates apply to educational students (school visits), homeschool groups, daycares and groups like Girl Scouts. Title I schools are free. Please see our education section for more details on booking a trip for children.
- We believe in the contribution of our military and their families. The Center is a Blue Star Museum which has free admission for active duty military and their immediate families from Labor Day to Memorial Day.
- The State of Oklahoma collects sales tax on the purchase of entertainment tickets. Please be aware that tax will be charged. If your group is tax exempt, you must provide your tax exemption certificate at the time of booking.

Booking Time Frame

The CTHC prefers ten days notice prior to your arrival for groups more than 20 people. This ensures that your visit is staffed properly and any needs you may have can be met successfully.
- If you can not give ten days notice, we likely can accommodate your group. Please call with details to give us as much “heads-up!” as possible.

Visit Time Frame

The minimum time for a visit is 45 minutes which would include the Experience Theater, Campfire Theater, and a brief overview of the history of the Trail.
Most guests enjoy about 1.5 – 2 hours at the Center. This is a leisurely look with a guided tour of the Garis Gallery of the American West, Experience Theater, Campfire Theater, Interactive Area, Temporary Exhibit Area(s), Romancing the Trail Music & Film Exhibit, On the Chisholm Trail Monument and some time for actual independent exploration of the exhibits.
Both adults and children can add a creative hands-on project to the visit which takes about 30 minutes.
