Oklahoma City is an attractive city with a good variety of attractions that will interest many different visitors. Many of these are within or near the downtown area,

Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum

The city is best known by many visitors for the bombing of a federal building in the centre of Oklahoma City in 1995. 168 people were killed and the building was damaged beyond repair. A memorial was constructed at the site and is accessible for free 24 hours a day. This stands along with the Survivor Tree, a tree that stood in the debris of the bombed building but survived despite significant damage. The memorial is a moving reminder of the events of that day, plus there is a museum that is open for a small entrance fee where visitors can find out more about the event.
