Tunnel Tours Returning To Tulsa For First Time In More Than A Year

Tulsa’s downtown tours are beginning again after nearly 18 months. The guided tunnel tours will begin this Saturday and there is still time for you to get tickets.

“Particularly when we get little kids this tour they scream at the top of their lungs with joy and then I turn on the lights and the first thing they say is to turn it back off," said Ted Reeds.

Reeds' enthusiasm is contagious as he walks through the tunnel system connecting historic buildings. Tulsa's Foundation for Architecture puts on the guided tunnel tours and Reeds is the president of the foundation. He's excited to start giving tours again.

“They all built these for various reasons and what they do is they connect the above to the below. They keep you out of weather's harm," said Reeds.

From moving money out of vaults and getting it into armed trucks safely, and even serving as a fallout shelter from atomic bombs in the '60s there is a lot of information packed into the hour and 40-minute tour. “We want you to come away with an appreciation of the city that you live in. That this little bitty ole place that has now surpassed a million in its metropolitan area is really a special place," said Reeds.
