Named “the most beautiful place in Oklahoma” by House Beautiful Magazine, the 25-acre Philbrook Gardens provide a setting like no other. A little piece of Tuscany in Tulsa.
No tour of Philbrook is complete without a walk through the gardens and grounds. The essence of the garden design complements Villa Philbrook, with outdoor spaces for viewing nature. The south garden offers a sensory garden complete with sitting spaces framed in wrought-iron arches that mimic those found in Villa Philbrook.
Much of the garden and grounds are accessible for those using a wheelchair or mobility device. Some paths have uneven surfaces. Download a map of the campus that marks accessible routes.
The formal gardens that descend to the tempietto were part of the original design and construction, while the gardens extending to the summerhouse at the south of the property were conceived later and completed in 2004.
Access to the gardens is included with a general admission ticket.
General admission is $18 for Adults, $8 for Youth (Ages 3-17). Philbrook Members and children two and under always receive free general admission. Join today.
We also offer many discounts, including $5 general admission every Friday night and $1 admission, every day, for those who need it most through our Museums for All participation. A full list of available discounts is available here.

For many guests, the most popular attraction in the Philbrook Gardens is our cat, Cleome. While she does provide some level of pest control, her main job is to bring smiles to the faces of visitors and provide an endless amount of social media gold. Look for her on your next visit.
Learn MorePhilbrook is proud to partner with award-winning artist Karl Unnasch to present SLUMGULLION (The Venerate Outpost), a full-scale log cabin built from the skeleton of a late-1800s pioneer home.
This permanent installation will inspire and facilitate programming, creating a gathering space both natural and enchanting. SLUMGULLION provides a highly aesthetic and intriguing space for a new genre of provocative and rewarding experiences.
SLUMGULLION (The Venerate Outpost) will be closed from May 2024 through Summer 2025 due to surrounding construction.
Stroll and see. The Westby Sculpture Walk features a variety of three-dimensional work installed on the museum grounds by artists from around the globe. Make sure to strike a pose and become a sculpture on the selfie platform.
