Tulsa, OK August 6, 2024] – Tulsa Foundation for Architecture will host its bi-annual Tulsa Underground Tunnel Tours on Saturday, August 10th. Ticketed tours will occur in fifteen-minute intervals from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, with nearly 1000 people enjoying tunnel tours that day. Tulsa Foundation for Architecture has exclusive Saturday access to the Tulsa Underground Tunnels.

Buried beneath downtown Tulsa, a system of secret underground tunnels was built to connect many of Tulsa’s early skyscrapers. The tunnel system was designed at first for freight, but soon became a millionaires’ highway, protecting the wealthy and elite from danger. Tour goers will hear fascinating stories from Tulsa’s oil boom while exploring notable Tulsa buildings without ever stepping outside. In all, the Tulsa tunnels connect eight buildings, three parking garages, a world-class hotel, and numerous cafés and small businesses. It’s possible to go from Fifth and Boston to First and Main while staying indoors the entire time.

“We are so excited to be able to present Tulsa Underground Tunnel Tours on August 10th. Our bi-annual tunnel tours have become one of the programs that Tulsa Foundation for Architecture is most known for,” said Amber Litwack, Executive Director of Tulsa Foundation for Architecture. “If you’re looking for a new adventure in Tulsa, we invite you to join us for our Tulsa Underground Tunnel Tour that will take you below historic downtown Tulsa buildings. You’ll get to explore areas many people are unaware even exist and learn the history of some of Tulsa’s most beautiful architecture along the way. If you’d like to attend, we encourage you to purchase tickets now since these tours always sell out.”
