Wonderful Woolaroc

I know the question you have….What is Woolaroc? It is a wildlife preserve and museum established in 1925 by oilman Frank Phillips, co-founder of Phillips Petroleum in Bartlesville, Oklahoma.

Woolaroc is derived of three words–woods, lakes and rocks.

When entering Woolaroc, you drive two miles through the 3700 acre preserve. You can see bison, elk, deer, Highland & Longhorn cattle, water buffalo, and so much more.

Enjoy this video of the ride into the preserve!


The images below are from areas with no fencing. You are not allowed to get out of your car but the wildlife walks right up to you. It is so amazing to see animals this close in their own environment.

This video is of being surrounded by buffalo!

The next group of images are from animals that are in fenced areas in the preserve.


The final group is from the Animal Farm at Woolaroc. You can walk around this area and get up close and personal with these animals. Be warned, I love goats!

Because Woolaroc has so much to see and do, I will have several posts about it. The next post will be about the museum and exhibits.

Hi! I am Christi, a full-time RV traveller since August 2021. I have always loved to travel, but COVID-19 put a stop to that. I was fast approaching 50, my condo was being placed up for sale and I was ready for a major change. Originally from a tiny town in rural Southwest Virginia, I am the mother to one son and a rescue Shih Tzu, Cappy. For the last 20 years, I worked in public library systems around the Charlotte & Myrtle Beach areas. I met some amazing people and made great friends along the way. Follow along on my adventures as I travel the US. I hope that our paths will cross one day!
