Temporarily closed until April 6th due to COVID-19 precautions. Verify hours before visiting! At the Muskogee War Memorial Park: Home of the USS Batfish, visitors may explore a World War II legend, the USS Batfish. Unseen and unheard while stalking its prey in World War II, the USS Batfish claimed over 14 kills, including a record breaking three enemy submarines. History awaits for those who adventure!

This might be my favorite museum ship and museum to visit out of all of the ones i have been to! If you are a World War II history buff, a navy buff, have interest in the military, or just interested in submarines, this is an absolute must visit! As people who have been to museum ships know (especially from the World War II era), sometimes they can be in pretty bad shape. The USS Batfish however is in absolutely fantastic shape both inside and out and looks very authentic to the period still with how it has been kept up since it was brought here in the 1970s. This was my second visit to the Batfish and it is still a very cool thing to visit and an amazing experience. The museum exhibits are very informative both indoor and outdoor and provide a lot of great information. The submarine looks great on the outside and inside both. You just step into it and feel like you are on a patrol in the Pacific in World War II. While it is pretty crowded inside (and a world of warning, going thru hatches compartment to compartment may be pretty difficult for those that are older or not in the best shape), it is just amazing to see what the inside of a World War II submarine looks like and how it must have been to serve on one. The interior looks so good it looks like it could still be operational and it has been kept in great shape thru the years. There is plenty of information to learn from inside the sub and also from the guides (if you so wish) and also as a side note, it is air conditioned so it is actually quite comfortable, even in the brutal Oklahoma July heat like the day we visited. Overall, I highly recommend a visit to the USS Batfish and I will be back for a third visit and many more in the future!

This is a small museum packed with a lot of history, artifacts, art, and a gift shop. The best part of this museum was "Loraine". She is so excited to tell you the history of the museum and the Oklahoma Native American experience. Every part of the museum has a story and she is delight to tell you about it. She really makes this small museum come alive. Learned that Oklahoma is the Iodine provider for the world. The cost is only $3 per person. You will receive a brochure and a list of the most interesting points in the museum. The restrooms are clean and an elevator is available for second floor access. Afterwards you can visit the Honor Heights Park and then hit "My Place West" for some excellent BBQ.
