By car, Tulsa is accessible via Interstate 44 and U.S. Highway 169. Getting around Tulsa is easiest by car; public bus service is limited. Ride-sharing and taxis are available, and downtown is walkable.
When to go
Spring (March to May) and fall (September to November) offer mild temperatures and are ideal for exploring the city's outdoor attractions, such as the Tulsa River Parks and the Tulsa Botanic Garden. Summers can be hot and humid, with temperatures often above 90°F, while winters are generally cold with occasional snow. Major events like the Tulsa State Fair in late September and early October draw crowds, so book accommodations early if visiting then.
