Reviews of Golden Driller Statue (Tourist Attraction)

Tiffany House

Super neat place to visit. The statue itself is huge and def. a must see. There was a snow cone truck selling snow cones in front, which was yummy!

Nicole Miller

Free to public! The 6th tallest US statue is always a cool thing to see! Now the Joshs Snow shack next to it makes a fun, cheap outing.

Mandy Madison

He was awesome!!

Khara Dawn Bilby

Love this guy! Brings back all kinds of childhood memories with my grandparents and the State Fair and the Icecapades.

Stacey Lowe

I have lived within a mile of our ever faithful Golden Driller statue my entire life. I love seeing him in his gigantic t-shirt every year during the fair. He's always standing tall and, at night, shining brightly. My siblings and I all have our pics, as little kids, perched on his boot looking like little ants. He always makes me feel like I'm home safe.

The Tulsa driller's man statue is one of the most iconic landmarks within the state of Oklahoma that symbolizes Tulsa as the "Oil Capitol of the World" from the 1950's-1960's! I personally only view the marvelous statue once a year during the Tulsa State Fair.

Suzanne Joiner

Super easy to access roadside attraction, just off Route 66. Parking is very accessible, just off the road. Not a crowded attraction. The history of the statue is interesting enough. Get a photo.

I went to Life Senior Services Lifestyle Senior Fair at the Expox Square. The fair was absolutely wonderful. There were a lot venues there. They served continental breakfast that morning the was marvelous. I look forward to going this July 30th. Call ahead if you want the breakfast.

All ways fun and love Josh's snow cone shake

Love our Landmark

Erhart Elliotmurray

I think the Golden Driller is such a cool landmark in Tulsa. I love how it shows Tulsa's history as the "oil capital of the world". It seems like a lot of things are named after this one statue (sports teams, sushi rolls, etc.), which I think is kind of cool.You can find him right outside the Expo building. This is where the fairgrounds are every year in the fall. In the summer, you can visit the Golden Driller and enjoy one of the best snow cone shacks right next to it while you're at it.

Susie Clark

Gypsy Girl

I am always happy Tulsans worked so hard to save the driller. Iconic oil capital history.

Ted Massad

I have so many amazing memories as a child going to the Tulsa State Fair or Expo Center for various shows. It is an absolutely amazing Route 66 statue and part of the history and culture of Tulsa. I have met people from all around the world who've come to Tulsa just to view the Tulsa Golden Driller.

Seejay McCollum

Fun time

Tammy K

Neat fair grounds. Location is great.

yannick tremenec

Amazing statue

Timothy Golding

I got to hand out bibles.

Sandra Gutierrez

This was really something to see! The last reviewer mentioned the construction vehicle in front of it....they must have been there around the same time we were. I could not understand why they did that. My friend, even bumped his head, on part of the contraption, while on his phone. We still managed to get some good pictures, by eliminating the vehicle, from view. This was our highlight of Tulsa, while Route 66ing!

Jerry Davis

another dirt racing fan must

Irma Zandl

Great photo/instagram situation close to the airport.

Guy M

As you would expect. It’s a landmark. Sits in front of the Expo Center

B Zambalis

When I was younger it was pretty cool, now it's just a statue. Though the story of it is cool in it self. It's in a hard place to park and see upclose. since the building it is in front of is so big I usually don't consider it when we are there.

Goyo GTO

People don’t appreciate this Tulsa historical feature. Tulsa was the ‘Oil Capital of the World’ and this statue symbolizes an era gone by. There is so much history in the Tulsa oil business. Is it a must see like the Statue of Liberty? Likely no, but if you’re at an event or the state fair you’ll be reminded of Tulsa’s past. (By the way, the Statue of Liberty is a Muslim girl based on a pagan goddess and people love her.)

Coleman Rankin

Fun tourist stop

A Stewart

Home of the Chili Bowl Natls.. Enough said!

Susan Gould

I love going to a Driller game every now and then. This particular one i was in a hurry and didn't get to eat, so i tried there loaded nacho they were soggy and it definitely wasn't a finger food.

Chocolate Chip

The Golden Driller is a Tulsa historical icon. For those not from this area probably wouldn't have the appreciation locals do. I love our Golden Driller!!!

Debbie

Most people don't know he was designed by by a Greek artist. Is there any acknowledgement? Have to check next time I'm there

Rob R.

Yeah, this is pretty good

Beth Soto

It's a good place to visit for events and has plenty of close parking.

Dewey Arnett

What a memory this will be me and wife took a great picture together and we helped someone take a picture

sheena scott

Pretty neat, stopped by a few days ago when we seen the sno cone stand opened by it.

Kera M.

I love taken photos here in Tulsa.

Margaret Wish

If you come to Tulsa, you should check out the Driller statue. In the summer, you will find a snow cone stand nearby!

Aleeda Ramos

Great photo spot. Easily accessible

Adam Pasquale

Are kids supposed to be climbing on top of the drillers shoes.

patty pruitt

I enjoyed going to the flea market. My main purpose was to find people selling records as I have some to sell.

Allen W. Branch III

Really an historical place? Okay.

Emily Smith

Neat statue. Interesting history. If you are in town, check it out.

Scarlett

Fun outdoor statue to take pictures by. Easy to get to just off roadway and easy to spot. Plenty of parking close by

Adrian Armstrong

Such a Stud ... Keep looking out for Tulsa Tornados.

TAG TAG

Saira Shayan

One of my favorite place to be especially love to join the Tulsa State Fair

Transfer Mobile

Always great!

Jonathan Bowers

I thought I was made of butter till I got closer and saw all the detail. Very cool, glad I got to see this iconic dude.

Chris Holmes

It was a large statue of a oil worker. In terms of status, it definitely was one. I was there to watch my son race BMX though, so I didn't look at it to y long. But it was definitely a statue that I walked by, so I give it 5 stars.

Visit z2x a year, Wannamakers Gun Show- April and November Nothing Like it. 4,000 Plus Tables

CatFish.Wilson

While in the area we had to stop and check out the 4th talls statue in the United States. Was very cool to see in person.

sammy D

Great venue for gunshow or any type of trade show.

Travis Patton

Great photo stop

Mat Crew

Classic Tulsa historical landmark. This guy is huge, huge, maybe 25 feet tall and he is right in front of the newly renovated Tulsa Expo Square at 21st and Yale.

Emmalee Fowler

It's a giant gold statue with a nice butt. Seriously, though, why did you have to go and shave down the package of a topless man? He's topless and still has a massive booty. Like, why was THAT what caused offense? And why did it cause offense in the first place? It's a statue. Anyway, it's just a big statue. Nice to see, but not a must see. RIP Proportionate Package.

RAE CAMPBELL

Really cool statue of an oil worker. It is absolutely huge! It stands in a parking lot so not much to do but look in awe at it or sit on it and take pictures but certainly worth seeing up close! PS. If you happen by at the right time, sometimes he has on a giant, real t-shirt!!?

Amanda FletcherGoad

Tulsa state fair fun.

_.Shadow.Gacha._

It has snow cones by it and it is awesome to look at.

Eva Sims

Really cool

Melodie Powders

Awsome venue

Jose Felix

Not much to say. It's cool to take family or folks that have never been to Tulsa to take a picture with the Golden driller. I take pictures every year at the Tulsa Auto Show. Plenty of parking unless there's a show at the expo center.

Robert Ball Jr

Awesome World’s Largest attraction with easy access.

jana hughey

This is a quick ten minute stop on your trip. The kids loved to see how tall this statue is. It is the 6th tallest statue in the world. It is a fun stop to stretch your legs and take a few pictures.

Dina Guyton

It was pretty cool to see. Also when visiting make sure you get a yummy snow cone.

Fernanda Sousa

Quick stop, quick pic, free parking.

Jillian Hord

gargleblaster81

Tulsa land mark! Great photo ops and easy to access!

Alice cooper

This is an iconic structure that towers over everything beneath it. it was the oil man that feed his family that grew the small town into the capitol of the world as it was once known. This is a must see location on every vacation or a nice place to eat lunch picnic tables for you and me. love it.

Wendy Homan

In town for the Chili Bowl. It’s always exciting to see the Golden Driller Statue when we come in to town.

Jeramy Sneathern

Pretty cool site to stop and see. Easy into the parking lot and easy out..

melissa wanslee

Wow beautiful statute on old highway 66 right in the heart of Tulsa!

Randel Herzberg

Surprisingly large

Osprey Flyer

Iconic landmark from Tulsa's oil glory days. Means something to us who remember and lived those days.

John Mullin

The statue is right in front of the expo center on the fair grounds. Easy access and quick in and out. Just stayed for photo as that is all there is. Tall figure as advertised.

Dolores Yates

I visit every week that there is a flea mot.

Ruth Radermacher-Yurick

Great place for horse show. Well kept facilities. Need better security on property. Multiple car, truck break-ins. That isn't okay.

Sylvester Wrather

Its a landmark in Tulsa and always nice to see

John Mattox

Biggest gun show in the world. Healthy 72 year old couldn't finish seeing 11 acres of guns in 8 hours!

Dawn Davis

Same ole historic landmark

Arnold Roberson

Went to the Tulsa Gun Show. Wanamaker gun show. It was fantastic. I set up and sold Vintage Turquoise Jewelry. Great show fantastic people, I meet people from all over the US. Loved it.

Alwaysget Betterstronger

We didn't know the history of the statue. For us it was just a quirky roadside attraction. We stopped to take a short break from our road trip. It was neat. We took some pictures. Didn't see a lot around. There was some sort of snow cone stand in the parking lot; which seemed popular when we were there. The building behind the golden driller is some sort of expo center. We did not check it out. But I'd imagine if there was an event at the expo center -then I'd imagine that it'd be difficult to find a place to park.

Daisy Ellis

Big things happen

Tammy cline

Great to go see if you have never seen it!

MsDefied

What's not to love about this stellar Tulsa icon?! And now he's got the best snow cones in town at his feet!

Sparkle Bomb

A wonderful tourist attraction! I hope the locals appreciate what we have!

Ann Hatton

If you haven't seen it is definitely something that needs to be on your "to do" list. His boot alone is the size of a small car!

Zac Butcher

It's A big statue

Russell Litterell

Home sweet home

Chad Parker

I thought it was a pretty neat monument to the oil workers that drilled for oil around tulsa. Worth the drive just to see it and take a picture. I wonder who the many was that posed do it.

Tom Seng

You gotta get your picture taken here. It's just a "thing".

Bro. Haulin

Went here for the gun show. Very busy but still found parking. Nice and air conditioned. Overall very great facility.

Angela Petree

One of my favorite things to show out of town visitors, no warning, just drive them up to him and watch their faces light up and cameras come out.

Roger Marler

Love This Place For Gun Shows , The Tulsa Fair And Monster Truck Races .

James Baker

I attended the Wannamaker gun show. It was a good venue for that large of a gathering.

Beth

It’s huge! Really neat to see! Definitely worth stopping and taking a couple of pictures. There isn’t really too much to do once you get there other than admire the size and get your pictures, but it is worth seeing!

Savannah Graves

My children love getting snow cones and sitting by the driller. Love how he stands tall for Tulsa.
