See the military history of Oklahoma from the very beginning to the present. The 45th Infantry Division captured Hitler's apartment, and you can see the memorabilia they collected at this free museum. The museum also displays World War II and Korean-era artillery, uniforms and firearms. You can also enjoy the outdoor military park with more than 40 military vehicles, aircraft and artillery. This is a great way to teach kids about the military and learn something yourself. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Oklahoma City United States |
Today, after a multi-year revitalization campaign, downtown OKC--dubbed "Bricktown" for its old-fashioned brick streets--has truly regained its status as the city's premier dining and entertainment district. Stepping off the Oklahoma Spirit trolley, visitors find themselves in an urban hub brimming with good eats and a wealth of diversions. Refined cultural pursuits like the distinguished Ballet Oklahoma and the Oklahoma Philharmonic at the Civic Center Music Hall exist alongside those aimed at a sportsman's heart such as Wranglers arena football at the Myriad Convention Center and RedHawk baseball at the new Bricktown Ballpark. Those who come downtown soon find that having fun is a full-time pursuit. Board a Water Taxi and float down the Bricktown Canal, which runs throughout the district, enter a tropical wonderland in the Myriad Botanical Gardens and Crystal Bridge, or join the festivities.
