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.

This museum is absolutely stunning right next to the Okana Resort. 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.

The Oklahoma Railway Museum is NE of downtown OKC. It's a nonprofit, volunteer-run attraction…read morededicated to preserving and sharing the history of railroads in Oklahoma. They have all the cars, locomotives of all types and sizes, and a 19th century depot with gift shop. You can walk in most cars, get on a few engines and at certain times they offer rides. Not a very long one but cool for the kidos. They have different themes for the holidays as well as Halloween. At Christmas they have the Polar Express with story telling, hot chocolate and visits from Santa. It's priced reasonably. Whether your a train buff, or into the history or just want to see the trains it's a great place. Check for hours of operation.

They serve hot chocolate and walker shortbread, we have a tray that we can put our food so this is the main reason that I booked VIP cart so the drinks don't spill. However the trays are extremely dirty, they don't seem to clean them between rides. The hot chocolate also tastes like sweet brown water. Kids love the experience just ok for adults.

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.

Sometimes you just run into an arts festival on the way to an art museum…read more Earlier in the day at the Myriad Botanical Gardens, a lady asked me if I knew how to get to the Oklahoma Festival of the Arts. As it was my first day ever in Oklahoma, I did not. I also could not find the location for her on a map. Yet, later in the day, I found the festival on the way to the art museum. It was so much fun exploring the park, sampling foods and listening to musicians. Celebrating 60 Years, the festival is a great way to welcome spring to Oklahoma City. Found a parking space near the museum. The festival is just a short walk from the gardens, the park and the art museum. A great festival to spend about an hour or so.
