With the forcast for Labor Day weekend continuing to be rain, rain, and more rain, I finally decided to start thinking about something enjoyable to do that would have plenty of indoor activities. It's been several years since I was last at Woolaroc, but it's such a diverse museum that I would certainly enjoy going back. It may seem kind of funny, but my favorite part of my last visit was the petting zoo. If you enjoy petting baby animals, Woolaroc is definately for you! I remember being able to pet a buffalo, a zebra, and a llama. Both the buffalo and the zebra have course fur. But the llama has the most wonderfully soft fur I've ever felt. I could have spent several hours just petting the llama, but of course that didn't fit in with everyone else's plans. Woolaroc also has Indian artifacts from about 40 different tribes, including some from Arizona. From what I understand they have the finest collection of Colt firearms which is bound to please the gun enthusiasts in the crowd. They have Frank Phillips airplane, Woolaroc, on display. And there is a fine arts display that includes sculptures from the 1927 Pioneer Woman contest. I tend to enjoy the sculptures more than the paintings, but there are certainly plenty of paintings on display if that's what you prefer. Last but not least, there is a concession stand called Buffalo Haunt at the museum. As I remember, the prices weren't bad and the food was good. So...there's no need to go away hungry.
