Overview

The Center of the Universe is a unique concrete circle in Tulsa with an acoustic anomaly. The circle is a little over eight feet in diameter, and any noise inside it echoes loudly. However, only those inside the circle can hear the echo. Surprisingly, these loud sounds cannot be heard from outside the perimeter of the brick structure. Visitors can access downtown Tulsa’s Center of the Universe through a brick path leading visitors from the Boston Avenue pedestrian overpass.
