Twister Filming Locations in Oklahoma

I made it out into northern Oklahoma to visit a few of the Twister filming locations that were used in the movie from the 90s. It was really fun and I’d recommend it if you’re ever in the area to go see these cool spots. Make sure you watch the movie before you go to these twister movie filming locations so you can stand in those exact spots!

Twister Filming Locations

Wakita Oklahoma

Twister Museum

The Twister Museum is located in Wakita, OK and it really is a homage to the cast and crew of the movie. The amount of behind-the-scenes information and memorabilia in the museum is really cool! The crew really took Wakita under its arm and embraced this small town and it’s evident in the fans, cast, and photos in the museum.

Make sure to check the hours of the museum and don’t be afraid to call to make sure what the hours are. It’s small but it’s very personable and chock full of fun 90s nostalgia. It also has a lot more production information about these Twister filming locations.

Meg’s House

Meg’s house is located just south of the museum. It was an old house that was already falling down and the movie production rebuilt parts of the house for the film knowing they would eventually knock it down for the finale along with several blocks of the main street in Wakita.

It’s now a small park area and walking distance from the museum. There are lots of flowers and sitting areas on the corner lot where the house used to be. There are even several pictures on wooden stands to show you old pictures of what the area looked like before the movie.

Osage County Oklahoma Locations

Bob’s Road Scene

This area is a wide-open place and surrounded by fields. Osage County is beautiful and this area is a great example of that. This is the area when the crew is traveling down “Bob’s Road” and they bust out of the cornfield right next to Jonas on this road. I also think Van Halen was playing during this scene!

Ditch and Wood Bridge Scene

This is the first tornado the crew chases. Bill ends up driving through a ditch and runs into a wooden bridge. The tornado goes over them and picks up the yellow Jeep and drops it on this road. The ditch isn’t there anymore and the bridge isn’t there anymore either. There is a small ditch area and that’s where it used to be. Watch out because there isn’t much parking here and the road is narrow.

Divorce Papers Scene

This area is a beautiful pasture and when I visited it had a large herd walking across it. It looks like it’s private property so please be respectful of it. The scene takes place down the road at the bottom of the hill.

Waterspouts Scene

This scene was filmed on the bridge across Kaw Lake. The road was gravel in the film but it is paved now. The lake is also very beautiful and might be worth a day trip to visit the lake if you’re in the area.

Guthrie Oklahoma Location

The drive-in movie scene was filmed in this area of Guthrie. The production built up this area specifically to make a “fake” drive-in for the movie just to destroy it. There isn’t much there anymore except for the silos and the brick “house”. It was very interesting to see the “house” was really just an old storage building. The drive-in scene is the most intense part of the film in my opinion!

The Diner and Tire Garage

The diner and tire garage was filmed in this small roadside area near Maysville Oklahoma. I didn’t visit this place yet but it’s on the list. The old diner building wasn’t actually a diner but rather some kind of gas station that was decorated to look like a diner. The diner isn’t there anymore but the garage is. The old floor of the diner is still present so make sure to check out the old footprint of the diner!

Hope you enjoyed these Twister filming locations!
