We visited the outside grounds first and then went into the museum. I thought that both were very well done and interesting with pertinent information. I thought that I could breeze through the museum in an hour but wished that I had planned for two hours or more. There are well laid out exhibits and areas where you can watch... more

I'm not sure what I expected from the Oklahoma City Memorial but I was astounded by how tasteful and serene the memorial site is. Unfortunately we were too late in the day to access the museum but we spent over an hour at the memorial site itself. It's really hard to express how it seems as I guess it means... more

I'm not sure what I can say that hasn't already been said in prior reviews. This is a "must see" if you live in or visit OKC. It is such an exquisite memorial to those who died, survived, rescued, and/or made any positive impact following this tragedy. The Park Rangers and the staff of the museum are well-versed and will... more

If you visit Oklahoma City, or even if you just pass through, you must take the time to visit this National Memorial. I can't begin to explain how thoughtfully something so tragic had been translated into something so beautiful. Instead of evoking anger, the Memorial seems, to me, to evoke something more akin to grace. It will forever change the... more

Ive always wanted to see the memorial and it was WELL worth the trip. Very well done even an area for kids at the end. You could spend hours there without blinking. Friendly people working there too. If you are close make sure you stop and see it. more

This past Summer (08) as we drove across this great country I asked my wife to stop in at the Memorial in Oklahoma City. This is the site of the horrific acts committed by Timothy McViegh and others back in 1995. At least 168 men, women and children were killed in this huge blast. I'd always wanted to come and... more

This is the one thing you have to do in OKC. Go straight to the museum first. Then tour the chairs, reflections, tree, childrens area second. It will make more sense to you. Wonderfully designed and a beautiful honor to those who passed away and were injured. MUST SEE! more

I would agree with tthe National Memorial getting a #1 rating for things to see in OK City. We visited the memorial for the first time recently - my husband is a federal employee and wanted to pay his respects. I knew it would be a moving experience, but I was not prepared for how emotionally powerful it would be.... more
