CITY OVERVIEW
With the same spirit of the pioneers who settled this city and created one of the most dynamic young towns of the early century,today鈥檚 Oklahoma City has been reinvented to offer visitors a fun-filled combination of attractions,events,restaurants and amenities.
Hitting the Bricks
Nowhere will you find a greater concentration of Oklahoma City鈥檚 modern-day urban vitality than in Bricktown,an early-day warehouse district transformed in the last decade to become the fastest growing entertainment district in the Southwest.Just east of downtown,the area is aome to mile-long riverwalk-style canal,AAA baseball stadium,shopping and some of the city鈥檚 best restaurants and most active night clubs.Bricktown has something for everyone.And right next door?The Ford Center,a new Arena that plays host to the NBA鈥檚 New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets,top concerts and minor league hockey.
A Visit to the Old West
The city鈥檚 western,pioneer spirit can most easily be seen in some of Oklahoma City鈥檚 top attractions,like the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum,Remington Park Race Track,Stockyards City,Frontier City Theme Park,and the Red Earth Indian Center.Each reflects the strong ties this area has with its western heritage.
If you want to experience a little of the real West of today,mosey on down to Stockyards City,a few minutes west of downtown.Home to the world鈥檚 largest stocker/feeder livestock market,Stockyards City is the "genuine article," with cowboys and ranchers bringing in cattle from all over to be sold at auction.When the trading is over,have a hearty meal of steak,eggs,and biscuits at Cattlemen's Steakhouse,the oldest restaurant in Oklahoma City.There are also many western wear and cowboy specialty shops lining the streets,or you can pick up a watercolor or sculpture from a master Native American artist at one of the fine art galleries.
A Downtown Renaissance
Bricktown isn鈥檛 the only attraction to Downtown Oklahoma City -- the focal point is the futuristic-looking Crystal Bridge,part of the Myriad Gardens Botanical Conservatory.Thousands of tropical plants and desert vegetation fill the seven-story,glass and steel structure.Inside,designers have created a 40-foot waterfall that you can walk under.A skywalk will give you a bird鈥檚 eye view of the entire garden,where something is always in bloom.
On the north side of downtown you will find the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum.This stunning tribute pays honor to the victims of the 1995 terrorist bombing of the Alfred P.Murrah Federal Building.The outdoor memorial features 168 chairs,symbolizing the lives lost.Inside the museum highlights the story of the tragedy and the impact of terror.
Take a Walk on the Wild Side
Oklahoma City鈥檚 Adventure District is the center of family fun starting with the Omniplex,seven museums and numerous galleries all housed under one very large roof.The science museum is a perfect place for kids to explore,and with more than 300 hands-on exhibits,they may even learn something.But don鈥檛 stop there,a visit to the Omniplex wouldn鈥檛 be complete without a stop at the Red Earth Indian Center,the Air Space Museum,the International Photography Hall of Fame,Kirkpatrick Planetarium,the Gardens and Greenhouse,or the OmniDome,a 70-mm IWERKS theatre.
Next stop in the adventure district is Frontier City,a western-style theme park sure to get your adrenaline racing.And then there is the Oklahoma City Zoo,ranked as the third best zoo in the nation by Child magazine.This 110-acre zoo and gardens features natural habitats and exhibits including the Great EscAPE and Cat Forest/Lion Overlook.And then there is Remington Park,Oklahoma City鈥檚 world class pari-mutuel horse racing facility.Recently renovated to include gaming machines,this is a stop the race fan won鈥檛 want to miss.
For the Fun of it All
If events,entertainment and recreation are more to your liking,then you will love Oklahoma City.From concerts at the Ford Center,Civic Center Music Hall or Zoo Amphitheatre to the Oklahoma City Philharmonic Orchestra,Ballet Oklahoma,and Broadway shows at Lyric Theatre,there is something for everyone.
Oklahoma City is known as the "horse show capitol of the world," hosting more major horse shows than any other city.Nearly every week at State Fair Park there are hundreds of horse trailers carrying Morgans,Quarter horses,Arabians and Reining horses.Each of these events,along with the Spring Festival of the Arts,bi-annual Affair of the Heart,and annual State Fair of Oklahoma bring together food and entertainment for a unique experience.
Beautiful lakes,parks and championship golf courses and top notch tennis facilities also await the outdoor enthusiast.And,sports fans won鈥檛 be disappointed with our NBA New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets; AAA baseball team,the Oklahoma RedHawks,who make their home at the finest AAA ballpark in the country; or our professional ice hockey team,the Blazers,who attract record crowds with their fast-paced,pulse-pounding action.
With all of these things happening in Oklahoma City,I think it is easy to see how you can fill a day,a week or a week-end with fun for everyone.
