No trip to Oklahoma would be complete without a visit to the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum. The bombing in 1995 has been converted to a moving memorial. It is awalkthough depicting the event before and after the bombing. The sculptures are lit up at night making one emotional, yet peaceful.
The Science Museum and the Oklahoma City Zoo are quite close to each other and provide a great time to visitors, particularly children. The zoo’s diverse range of animal life is quite delightful. The many exhibits in the museum will keep you enthralled.
The entertainment district of Oklahoma lies in Bricktown, so named after the brick buildings in the region. It has a canal boat ride that is quite enjoyable and is even better at night with all the lights reflecting in the water. A late night stroll along the canal is a wonderful way to end the day.
The Oklahoma State Fair, held in September every year, is a great place to be in. Food is a very serious matter to the people in Oklahoma and the fair does justice to this trait. A great place to be in for gastronomical delights.
The Oklahoma City Museum of Art has the largest collection of old glass sculptures. It also houses traveling exhibits. There is always something new or unexpected on display and is well worth a visit.
A short drive from Oklahoma is the town of Guthrie. It retains an old world charm with buildings of Victorian architecture. Naturally, you’ll find lots of antique shops here. It is a great day trip and you’ll be sure to enjoy the original Oklahoma culture at it’s best.
