Fun new area for kids opens at Tulsa International Airport

Tulsa International Airport has opened a state-of-the-art exhibit area within the airport terminal, specifically designed to entertain, engage, and educate young travellers.

Designed to enhance the airport experience for families, the Oklahoma gateway notes that the new initiative is in partnership with the local favourite children’s museum, Discovery Lab.

Its addition is just in time for the airport’s busy Spring Break season, when TUL expects to see approximately 114,000 passengers passing through its facilities.

The new family space, designed and built by Discovery Lab, features innovative play structures that are versions of Discovery Lab exhibits. The museum will change pieces and exhibits of the new play area regularly, ensuring that kids always have something fun and new to see.

The Discovery Lab play area is now open between Gates B7 & B9 and is accessible to passengers during all hours at no additional cost.

Alexis Higgins, CEO of Tulsa Airports Improvement Trust, emthused: “We’re committed to making Tulsa International Airport not just a gateway to destinations but a memorable part of passengers’ trips.

“Collaborating with Discovery Lab allows us to offer our youngest passengers a unique opportunity to learn through play or burn some energy, making families’ wait time more enjoyable.”

While Discovery Lab’s executive director and CEO, Ray Vandiver, noted: “We are honoured to celebrate the opening of the Discovery Lab exhibit at Tulsa International Airport. This exhibit offers a much-needed space for children and families to unwind and learn between flights.

“At Discovery Lab, we recognise the importance of providing dedicated spaces for children and their caregivers, and we hope it inspires them to visit our museum and continue learning.”

The new Discovery Lab Play area is just one of several major projects within Tulsa International Airport’s multi-year growth plan.
