What more can be said? This is a powerfully moving experience that places you in the moment and walks you through the aftermath of this tragedy. It's an emotional trip and hard to look at sometimes, but also done in a respectful and matter of fact way. I think they've done an excellent job of communicating the chaos of the moment and helping the visitor understand the incredible courage of those who survived and those who ran towards danger and not away from it (which was nearly the entire city). I was with a group that was lucky enough to get a private tour with someone who was there. I don't know that it was exactly like the EYEWitness tour mentioned on the site, but I would think it was similar. I think that experience would certainly be worth the extra money, but you won't be disappointed simply doing a self tour either. The museum is expertly arranged and the entire experience is something I think everyone should experience. I'll remember it forever.

First time visit to OKC so we stopped by the memorial. In a word ... MOVING ... we were all deeply moved by the tributes and stories. If you visit OKC make it a point to visit the memorial and pay respects.

Awesome, emotional. Very well done with the "chairs" lined up by the row the person was on. The sun shines through the chairs in the evening. I didn't know what the 9 :01 and 9:03 arches meant, but my friends did. There were coins and small items on the chairs that the security was collecting as it was close to dark.

I would suggest you do a visit during the day and night time. If you are short on time, you can come back when the chairs and the walls are lit up. I would say it took us about 2 hours to walk the museum and the grounds. It was very emotional in the museum. It really got to me when I saw the children come up on the screen in the room where they had the recording of when the bomb went off. This happened when I was about 16 years old. My children never heard of it. It was something my children needed to see and know about. I just wish that it wasn't just the younger ones who were with us. The chairs light up at night as well as the wall. They have the original wall behind the chairs. The staff was very friendly.They are willing to answer any questions you may have. That is how I found out about the walls and the chairs and the wall by asking. The small chairs represented the children. I just wish the memorial was created through happy circumstances. Not the loss of our future.

Moving day with a glimpse into a memorable day for the US in OK. Very well done and for all ages. You will spend more time than you think reading and listening to the well done clips inside the museum. Leave time to walk the grounds and become a part of the outdoor exhibits!

We were limited on time during our visit to the memorial. We chose not to go through the museum, which was a Beth spendy. Instead, I pulled up the visitors guide video off of YouTube, and follow that as we visited all of the area of the memorial grounds. This is some thing I would definitely suggest as it helped to explain the Weisen Where’s of everything in the memorial and it’s meaning and some of its history. Take the time to actually walk around the block to the original entrance/pavilion of the original federal building. There is still a sign that states federal building on one of the entrances to the pavilion. You will also see one of the original walls of the building that remains.

It is so well done and the rangers and guards have so much to share. The one thing my great grand daughter enjoyed was putting her hands in the water and then placing them on the wall. Once they dry and the sun shines on the wall her prints are still there. Really cool.

A truly moving and somber experience that every American citizen needs to see and remember in detail. This tragedy is counterpointed with the heroic efforts of first responders and the incredible back-tacking detective work responsible for the arrest. Do not miss this

A truly moving memorial to those lost and the people who were there to help. Walking the grounds are free. This trip I had enough time to also tour the Museum which is expertly done especially chronologically. You could spend several hours here between the grounds and the museum. Other reviews have mentioned details which I won't repeat here, just look at several reviews.

The Oklahoma City National Memorial is a must-see memorial and historical site in Oklahoma City. The memorial pays respect to the 168 Americans that lost there lives, in our nations worst act of Domestic Terrorism. This is an outstanding memorial and landmark.
