    Travel and Explore Oklahoma City, OK!

    Oklahoma City, OK

    Known for the Murrah Federal Building bombing in 1995, Oklahoma City is the capital and the largest city in the state. Founded in 1889 by a presidential proclamation, the area to make up Oklahoma City was to have 10,000 land claims in one afternoon. Oklahoma City's good fortune of economics lies upon two of the world's greatest high gravity oil fields, and the first strike began in 1928 starting off a series of derricks around the town. The other thing that drove the town into its economy is its aviation industry. Areas of aviation in the area include the Douglas Aircraft Co., the Tinker Air Force Base, being the largest repair and supply depot in the world, and the Civil Aeromedical Institute and the FAA Aeronautical Center making their homes at the Will Rogers World Airport. See Oklahoma State Capitol, the Myriad Convention Center, seating over 15, 000 people, and the city's Civic Center, which covers 6 blocks and includes the city hall, police department, county building, and the Civic Center Music Hall. A few parks to visit are Frontier City Theme Park which offer a western-style amusement park, Remington Park offering thoroughbred horse racing, Lincoln Park, a 640-acre entertainment area, and the Oklahoma City Zoological Park offering over 2,000 animals to the public. Visit Lakes Hefner and Overholser for boating, the University of Oklahoma at Norman, the Gerrer Museum, and the Oklahoma State Historical Society Building showing some of the nation's most complete displays of Indain documents and relics. Explore other attractions in town, such as the National Cowboy Hall of Fame and Western Heritage Center which offers vast collection and exhibits, the First National Building, an observation tower, Harn Homestead and 1889er Museum, Crystal Bridge at Myriad Botanical Gardens shows a 7-story glass conservatory, Enterprise Square USA, a high-tech museum, and the Kirkpatrick Center Museum Complex which offers the Red Earth Indian Center, some museums, a planetarium, and 6 gardens. The city has a Red Earth Festival which there is a gathering of over 100 North American tribes celebrating their traditions.
