I’m not sure why some towns collect an abundance of wonderfully weird stuff, but we LOVE it — and the Meadow Gold District Tulsa proves it in spades. Sitting along historic Route 66 (11th Street), the Meadow Gold District Tulsa has become one of Oklahoma’s most fun stops for roadside attraction hunters and Mother Road travelers. It’s got the big, the quirky, and the “pull over right now” photo ops, all wrapped in that unmistakable Route 66 energy.
Discovering the Meadow Gold District Tulsa
This vibrant stretch nails the spirit of the Mother Road with a mix of giant art installations, small‑town‑meets‑city shopping, and a steady hum of local character. You can wander from a towering neon sign to a record store to a burger counter without ever losing sight of the next mural or sculpture.
Giant Attractions and Roadside Wonders
The crown jewel here is the restored Meadow Gold neon sign — a Route 66 icon in its own right. But it’s not alone. Massive sculptures, oversized art pieces, and colorful installations pop up along the sidewalks, making it impossible to walk more than a block without stopping for a photo in the Meadow Gold District Tulsa.
Shopping and Dining Along the Mother Road
Between the big art, we found plenty of small‑scale charm. Shops like Buck Atom’s Cosmic Curious, Josey Records, and Meadow Gold Mack’s Route 66 Outpost keep the vibe eclectic. When it’s time to eat, you’ve got legends like Howdy Burger and Ike’s Chili — both serving travelers for decades — holding their own alongside newer spots in the area.
Art, Murals, and Cultural Finds
The district doubles as a mini art crawl. Outdoor murals splash color across brick walls, Decopolis mixes Tulsa‑themed gifts with a pocket‑sized Art Deco museum, and artist Michelle Firment Reid offers hands‑on Create X Art Experiences right in her gallery studio.
