 Hanging out downtown |
Sheridan Avenue Oklahoma City, OK 73104 United States +1 405 297 8912 (Oklahoma City Convention And Visitors Bureau) http://www.bricktownokc.com/ |
The Bricktown Canal is one of Oklahoma City's most popular tourist destination. Loosely modeled after San Antonio's River Walk, the canal is manmade and runs through the historic Bricktown district. There are restaurants and shops nearby and along the canal, but the real draw is the people watching. Come by after a Redhawks game, played in the nearby Bricktown Ballpark, or for one of the many happenings. Always festive, this is a great place just to hang out. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Celebrating all styles of art |

One of the city's major annual events, the Arts Festival offers the best creations of both artists and local eateries. Open-air booths showcase hundreds of works by artists from across the country. Every style of art can be found from paintings to sculpture and jewelry to woodworks. Prices are a bit steep for some pieces, but there are works to fit anyone's budget. If art is not your thing, do not fear. Many come just for the food. For a couple bucks, you can feast on a meal from one of the city's fine restaurants that set up booths here.

In memory of those who died in the bombing |
620 North Harvey Avenue Oklahoma City, OK 73102 United States +1 405 235 3313 / +1 888 542 4673 http://www.oklahomacitynationa... |
April 19, 1995 was one of the darkest days in America's history. When you visit this memorial, you will see 168 empty chairs—one for each person killed. The most moving thing to see, however, is the part of the fence that has been left over from the makeshift memorial that stood here for five years. On it, you will see letters, photos, flowers and more left by survivors and visitors. Notice the Survivor Tree, it has become a symbol of hope to the people of Oklahoma City. Admission to the outside memorial is free, but the museum charges a fee. Review © 2007, Wcities |

For more than a century this downtown cathedral has served the Catholic community in Oklahoma City. St. Paul's suffered significant damage as a result of the Murrah bombing, but has since rebuilt, dedicating one of the new structures to those who died on April 19. Guests are invited to attend one of three Sunday services at the cathedral, or visitors can come to its quiet sanctuary to pray and pay their respects to bombing victims. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Located on the grounds of the State Capitol, this museum takes visitors on a journey through Oklahoma's exciting history.
