The Gathering Place TULSA

A while back I went with the fam to this joint we Amy found online called The Gathering Place that was supposed to be amazing and FREE.  I didn't actually think they were also gonna have fries but they did so it was on!  This place is right on the riverfront and we managed to pick a weekend when Tulsa was basically getting flooded by the river.  Oops.

Amy was super smart by suggesting that we go on a Friday morning on accounta there probably would be less people.  She was right.  We had the place pretty much to ourselves for the first few hours.  It's kind of a hard joint to explain.  Imagine an amusement park/playground with no electricity.  All the fun stuff is done with action by humans.  Like paddle boats, water features that are operated by cranking and moving levers, hedge mazes, big pieces of interactive artwork, zip lines, stuff like that.  The playground climby stuff is all crazy too.  There's a platypus.

And cranes.

An elephant.

And castles (Grunion up at top right).

The Gathering Place is awesome.  And free.  You should do it.  There's a ton more stuff there too like a fancy restaurant and a museum but this is a fry blog yo.

Fries targeted.  Sorry the pic is blurry I was excited.  Did I mention the place also HAS BEER?  Noice.

$2.99 for this at a free amusement park?  Totally worth it.

They were those lightly battered frozen jobs.  Not too bad.

I liked them.  Especially with the Goose Island IPA.  DO IT.

P.S. I scared the crap out of the Grunion when he was coming down one of the slides.  Heh.
