Turner Falls Park
by gulo
This nice park with waterfall provides an interesting change in otherwise boring drive on I-35 from Oklahoma City to Dallas or serves as a nice day trip from OKC or other central Oklahoma cities.
Dive in the water for a relief from summer heat or just enjoy scenery from US 77 that winds up the hill and provides nice view down on the waterfall.
Directions: exit 51 or 47 on I-35

Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial and Museum
by Aprl24
No visit to Oklahoma City is complete without stopping here to visit, learn and pay respects to those who lost their lives here. I was able to easily walk from the Botanical Gardens to the site.
The memorial is beautiful and very moving. The former plaza that stood in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building is still there, and leads you to the memorial where you enter from one of two building shaped gates facing each other on opposite sides of a reflecting pool. Beside the reflecting pool are individual memorial monuments - empty chairs with the names of those who died. There is the Survivor Tree -- made famous by Kirtsen Dunst in the film "Elizabethtown", and then there are the chain link fences -- covered in presonal memorials from those who have visited the site.
Once past the memorial, there is a museum which I highly recommend visiting. There is an entrance fee, but it's fairly nominal. The museum takes you through the day of the blast, step by step. There are survivors stories, victims stories, rubble and office equipment still in the condition it was in after the cleanup, and much more. It's definately an experience I recommend when visiting Oklahoma City.

OK City

Well I was only out here for work, so don't expect a full blown page here. But I did manage to snap a couple pictures...
If cowboy stuff is your thing, then I'm sure that you can find a way to stayed entertained in OK city. My favourite was the in-bar bull riding at one of the local pubs.
