Located in the center of OKC's Myriad Botanical Gardens downtown, it is a very nice break from the…read morecity. It's not a very large conservatory and can easily walk it within an hour. But it's unique architecture makes it stand our with the suspended bridges. There are an assortment of unique plants including a whole section for various cacti. It's just plants, no animals. There a few information cards and scent samples for learning purposes. There is also a kids learning classroom inside. The only downside was some of the smelling info station were out and some info cards were a little vague or wasn't clear enough to pinpoint it to the plant it was talking about so it could be a little better maintained. Also there are technically two entrances but they only allow access from one from the outside which was a little annoying to have to walk another 5 mins to the other side. Tickets were around $10 when I went, which is alright. This is a tropical conservatory so be prepared to sweat.

What a beautiful visit my daughter and I had today…read more I remember the first trip to the bridge way back in the 90s with my bride. It was beautiful then and now after the renovation it looks amazing. While not the bridge the surrounding gardens and koi, ducks, etc are beautiful. We loved every minute and we only left due to the heat. Thanks for a super special time.

Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame / Jim Thorpe Museum…read more An outstanding visit and an easy 5 stars! Admission is free, and the museum is packed with Oklahoma sports history, memorabilia, photographs and stories from some truly legendary athletes. A few exhibits especially caught my attention. Thurman Thomas -- Oklahoma State University legend and, of course, drafted by my Buffalo Bills! Seeing his memorabilia, including a game ball from the Bills' 1990 AFC East Championship season, immediately got my attention. Go Bills! Bob Kalsu -- This one means something far beyond football. An All-American at the University of Oklahoma, Kalsu was drafted by the Buffalo Bills and named the team's Rookie of the Year. He later served with the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division in Vietnam, where he was killed in action in 1970. A true American hero whose story deserves to be remembered. Curt Gowdy -- I grew up listening to him. One of the iconic voices of sports broadcasting, and seeing his place here brought back a lot of memories. Mickey Mantle -- What's not to love about The Mick? I'm certainly no Yankees fan, but I can appreciate greatness when I see it. One of the greatest switch-hitters baseball has ever known. And finally, Jim Thorpe. I recently watched a documentary about his life and came away amazed. Football, baseball, basketball, track and field--and Olympic gold medals in both the decathlon and pentathlon. There may never be another athlete quite like him. The Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame is one of those places where you walk in expecting to spend a little time and suddenly find yourself stopping at exhibit after exhibit. Sports fan or not, this place is worth visiting. Oklahoma has produced some remarkable athletes and remarkable stories.

This was a great find in OKC!!…read more Located in Bricktown, it was free to enter, and you can leave a donation if you want!! This museum represents and honors all sports related people that either played in Oklahoma, or was from Oklahoma!! The prestigious Jim Thorpe Award is displayed here proudly, which is awarded to the top defensive back in college football, and is voted on by the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame!! And while this place represents all sports, you can tell, instantly, that football is the main thing in this state!! The place is immaculate, very well organized, and has a lot to see, including videos and tributes. It's informative and educational, so if you're in the area, you will not regret going here whether you're a sports fan or not, very highly recommended!!!

Weather was great. Intermittently indoors and warm for those scenes. Walking is brief stretches, generally level ground, mostly gravel path. Staff guides where to go and when to stop for next scene. Few times the sound system was effective or cast was not projecting well without a microphone, but overall able to hear dialogue in the scenes well. This was a fun evening and an enjoyable affordable way to experience this play. Highly recommend.

They have many exhibits to look at and read about, and movies to watch and learn from too. You can use a free AI photo area which will take a pic of you (that can be downloaded via your phone) that turns you into a cowboy. It's so cool. There's an area for kids outside. Scooters are free for use for elderly or disabled people.

A most impressive visit!…read more The National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum has been on my list for quite some time, and with Oklahoma temperatures soaring into the triple digits, today seemed like the perfect day to spend a few hours inside an air-conditioned museum. I originally came as part of my Oklahoma Passport adventure, looking to add another stamp. What I didn't expect was to spend nearly three hours wandering through the museum--and I could have easily stayed longer. I started with the Immersive Journey presentation, and WOW! The enormous 360° experience surrounding you with the sights, sounds and history of the American West was spectacular. That alone immediately told me this wasn't going to be a quick passport stop. The museum is absolutely loaded with Western history, art and artifacts. I found myself stopping constantly to read and learn--the evolution of the cowboy hat, cattle branding, an incredible collection of more than 1,300 varieties of barbed wire, wagons and so much more. Then there are the sculptures. The End of the Trail by James Earle Fraser is simply magnificent. Seeing this enormous and deeply symbolic work in person is completely different from seeing it in photographs. The Canyon Princess is another showstopper--a massive marble cougar carved from an original 31-ton block of Colorado marble. The finished sculpture stands about 15 feet tall and weighs more than eight tons. Absolutely beautiful. And then I stumbled across some familiar faces from American history and Hollywood--Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, John Wayne and Charlton Heston. As someone who grew up watching Westerns, seeing these larger-than-life figures represented here brought back plenty of memories. What impressed me most is that this isn't simply a "cowboy museum." It tells a much larger story about the American West--its people, Native American history, ranching, art, wildlife, movies, traditions and culture. I came for an Oklahoma Passport stamp. I left three hours later wondering why it had taken me so long to visit. If you're in Oklahoma City, put the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum on your list. Give yourself several hours because there is a LOT to see. And during an Oklahoma summer? That air conditioning deserves a star all by itself!

The Devon bandshell and the water stage to name two. The gardens are multilayered and accessible by stairs or long easy to maneuver ramps. The main focal point is the crystal bridge conservatory loaded with all types of plants. Most are not native to this area. Tht is a separate entity tht requires admission. There were many folks out today enjoy the weather. I seen pics being taken, picnics, parties and many other activities. Check it out. Everything outside has no cost.

I've been to the FAM 4 times and find something new to appreciate each visit. The museum itself is…read morewonderfully designed. My favorite area is the "original stories" shown on a massive wrap around screen -- complete with rock shaped seats. From there you follow a timeline of significant moments in indigenous history. The children's wing has come so far in the last few years and has a ton of interactive options for kids and adults alike. A note about accessibility: The FAM does an amazing job not only being ADA compliant but going above and beyond. Audio and visual portions have physical text or captions for those who need it. Exhibit videos also display timers in the lower corner. There are several "fire pit" seating areas throughout that allow for folks to rest. These are also all wheelchair accessible.

I was told the entrance faces…read moreeast to catch the morning sun and there is a beautiful glass area west facing that represents the 10 miles a day walked during the Trail of Tears, such beautiful architecture with meaning. Of course the artwork and artifacts are beautiful but what really got me was the mood. This place is QUIET. Not in a sterile don't touch anything way (but yeah, also don't touch anything), but with the stories that are told on the video, or through the curated spaces. It's contemplative and deeply respectful. This is NOT your typical museum where kids are sprinting around screaming. It's calm. And somehow, that calm extends even to the children's area. The Family Discovery Center is EXCEPTIONAL. Kids can climb, build, and explore hands-on educational stations for hours. There are interactive games, and activities that teach caring for our world which is the theme "We are all Connected." I really enjoyed the videos that detailed how the first Americans believed males and females were formed, I wish they had the animated video in a book format for purchase. Come spend a few hours here and take the time to reflect.

Lots of story telling even though his dad passed8 days before his 2nd bday. I had not heard of AJ tht I can remember but after seeing him and reading some info in his bio he is quite an accomplished musician in his own right. If you are expecting to hear straight up Jim classics you will but they have his own twist. Now as for the theater. Very nice accoustics. Really not a bad seat except when you get to the balcony. There is no way you can sit there for 2 hrs and enjoy yourself. The seats are so tight and close it's like your in the other persons lap. Luckily it wasn't sold out and I was able to move back one row and my wife moved over into mine. Then it was comfortable. Will think abt this the nxt time there is a show there. Seats could be a deal breaker.
