We went looking specifically for a bookshelf, and found one in very good shape for a very good price. Plus we found a few other goodies as well. This place is currently undergoing renovation, and promises to be even more amazing. Worth a stop!

The museum got its start in 2000 during a citywide process called VISION 2010. In a series of meetings, local citizens came together and identified goals they would like the community to reach in the next ten years. Many things were discussed. Among them the town wanted unique attractions that would help to make Pauls Valley a destination city.With the help of local artist and toy designer (and collector) Kevin Stark, a board was formed to start working on the world’ s first museum devoted to the art and sculpting of action figures! The museum acquired its 501(c)3 nonprofit status and the group began researching and creating the plans for a first – class facility in the heart of downtown Pauls Valley. It took the group five years to put everything together and the doors opened on October 15, 2005.Since that time the museum has had visitors from every state in the union and over 40 foreign countries and has helped serve as an economic catalyst for the downtown area. With group tours from state wide public and private schools, senior citizen groups and various tourist groups, not to mention curious travelers, the museum has seen over 50,000 visitors since it opened its doors.An accredited museum, The Toy & Action Figure Museum has won several awards, including the Redbud Award for Best New Tourist Attraction in the state for 2006 at the Oklahoma Governor’ s Conference on Tourism.

The Toy and ACTION FIGURE Museum, features a VAST collection of NEW and opened Articulated figures, and their accessories. (About 7,000 on display at any one time.)
The museum also features the Oklahoma Cartoonist Collection as well.
(Oklahomans have Drawn the incredible likeness of Michael Jackson and Anjelica Houston in the Disney-park 3D Comic based on the movie CAPTAIN E, and currently ALLEY OOP [yes, that time traveling caveman] is currently Drawn and produced Nationwide from TULSA. OKLAHOMA!)
The museum is no static YAWNER, it got the REBUD award its first year as the BEST NEW ATTRACTION in the Entire State.They asked early visitors, "What did you Expect?" and "Did we surpass it?" They evolved and have a TOY and an ACTION FIGURE HALL OF FAME. There is a BEDROOM gone wild, featuring the actual furniture of Kevin Stark's childhood bedroom, with a few notable toys from his collection (which comprise MOST of the museum,) that will stun you upon entry.
Local artist Kevin Stark has designed toys for major name franchises [Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles gen 1, The Simpsons, Toonsylvania, etc]
As well, nearby artist KYLE WINDRIX sculpts many primary characters from Major Label Franchise action figures in PURCELL, OK {The figure of John Lennon, The to-scale Balrog, Gandalf, Aragorn, and more from LORD OF THE RINGS, Jack Sparrow, and Keith Richards form Pirates of the Caribbean, Robocop, Conan, Freddy vs Jason, Alien vs Predator, and more.} There is a section dedicated to his work including ORIGINAL SCULPTS.
WARNING!
It, like many museums, is CLOSED ON MONDAY, but if your asking around IN TOWN, someone can probably get someone to open it...especially if you have traveled far.

They serve very good catfish which is why we ate here. Te portions are very large. The restaurant is a destination by itself as it is out of populated areas. It is worth the trip if you want good catfish. The restaurant has a diner feel to it. The wait staff is attentive and friendly. They serve coke products. We will go back again and recommend it.

Reviewed By Foghorn13db - Lawton, Oklahoma
One of the last drive-ins in this area. Open year round, during the summer they are open everyday, when school is in session they are only open on weekends. You usually get a double feature, sometimes a triple. We bring lawn chairs and sit outside while the kids make a bed in the back of the truck and watch till they fall asleep. Drive-ins are slowly going away, so take your kids before they are gone. Yes the drive-in does not allow outside food. The prices at the concessions are reasonable.

Proudly grown from Vine to Wine in Oklahoma. Stop by our gift shop and tasting room for a complimentary tasting and tour. Sip by the glass, on our patio overlooking our vineyards. Add some locally made treats from our gift shop for a nice picnic. Plan your next event from business to wedding at Canadian River Winery.

Friendly staff, clean facility, great weather = perfect day at the Grape Stomp Festival.
We really enjoyed attending their annual Grape Stomp Festival. It was pleasant and lots of fun!
It is free admission, free parking, free grape stomping! There are popcorn & food vendors.
My only disappointment was they sold us a tshirt that we could step on to make our feet prints after we stepped in stepped in wine dye. It was a brilliant beautiful deep, dark red. Later, it washed right off the tshirt leaving only an ugly gray where they dye once was. The dye color did not stay on the shirt - never got to wear the shirt.
That being said, I am still glad we went to the Grape Stomp Festival.

A short drive from OK City, this Park was a great stop for our young family on our cross country road trip. Our toddler absolutely loved exploring the grounds and coming upon the variety of animals. We visited the Park on a particularly windy and misty morning, so we had the whole place to ourselves minus a children's birthday party taking place in the event space.
It was easy for us to wander the grounds and feed the lemurs. We saw so many big cats and other large animals. It was an excellent learning opportunity for our toddler, and not crowded like a traditional zoo.
We decided to increase our entrance fee so we may have a one on one session with several animals. Our toddler's mind was blown being able to pet a tortise, boa, lemur, baby kangaroo, and fennec fox for that extra time and money. Very unforgettable and highly recommended!
