    We are members of the Perot in Dallas so we got to visit this museum free as part of the passport program, yall this museum is SO cool! Everything is hands on and encourages play! Water stations, tons of STEM activities, curiocity was such a neat section, and so much more! The LOVES planetarium was an amazing experience, we got to see a "live" show where we had a staff member teaching us and showing us the stars and planets. Highly recommend! I really loved that this museum is meant for kids to play and engage, it wasnt a building of to things to look at but a whole place where they get to think and play and learn!

    This is a HUGE science museum for kids that is very interactive and fun. My daughter had a blast running around and trying lots of activities. It does get very busy so I recommend coming early and leaving early. I love that they have sanitation wipes everywhere to use. We did not try any food so I can't comment on that. I would definitely come back here.

    We took my son to the Science Museum for his birthday weekend. It is one of his favorite places to go but we are 2 hours away. There are so many areas to explore and the entire museum is interactive. Our family had a great time, my son did the Segway's and every thing else he could. We spent a few hours making sure we hit all the things. If your kiddo is into science, this is a must!!

    My kids love going to the science museum! It's always so much fun and I love how interactive it is.

    Great place for school field trips ! They are currently doing some remodeling! It looks like they are adding some more wild life viewing. The commentator for the space show was very entertaining.

    Grandsons were visiting from Texas and they spent the afternoon at the Science Museum! Lots of interactive exhibits to challenge and have fun at the same! The Planetarium was very interesting and well worth waiting to see! I would definitely recommend that everyone give this museum a visit!

    the museum was underwhelming as a whole. some of the exhibits felt lazy especially the petroleum area, weather area and the area with the tracks to roll the balls down.

    I love this place, no matter what we do here! We've been numerous times with the kids, who have begged to go at all ages, even teen years, we try to go to all the SMO21+ nights, and we most recently went to a gala where the venue was top notch! I'll still call it the Omniplex but that's because I'VE been coming here that long!

    Doing tourist things while family was in town visiting. This was a must visit for people with kids period. This was on the list of to-do's as we had a family in town for the week. Great place to see all of the exhibts.. Not a bad time at all. We got to see play and do so MANY things all active and the girls loved the upstairs carpet play areas ...all of them. The bathrooms were clean and strategically placed...I was pleasantly surprised. The parking is close!...& I liked the exercise...our girls napped so hard after the visit. I am in firm belief that the overall planning and logistics of this place are professionally done & handled well! I will say the snack station is expensive. But hey when in Rome... Enjoy the fruits of the wages you earn. This venue is a must visit if in the area and you like hands on action. The girls had a blast and that is what matters most!! 10/10 times I will return.. for the price I paid... I could see myself doing this again with a longer stay in the area! Added plot twist... We bought a year membership ! Sidenote the people in guest service station were super awesome... All workers that interacted with our family had smiles on their faces and were so helpful. I feel for the price I paid...it was well worth it! We will return! *Questions reach out* Respectfully, Bryan & Family Oklahoma City

    Came here with a group of specialty individuals. We spent about four hours, but we're moving slow so we didn't get to go upstairs and see the second half of the museum. Everybody had an amazing time from watching how to create a tornado to looking at moving dinosaurs, to plan with water activities and looking at the stars/galaxies. It was a good time. They also have a food court no, you can grab some lunch for about $15. There's also a small gift shop where you can buy gifts before you leave. It was definitely a good time. We came with a group of about 15 people and made tons of fun memories.

    My family and I were visiting Oklahoma City. On our second to last day, we went to the Science Museum in OKC. We are from Vegas, and the Science Museum in Oklahoma City is by far the best science museum we have ever been to! There is nothing like the Science Museum at OKC in Las Vegas! We had arrived at 9:30 A.M., and stayed all day, until closing, at around 5:00 P.M. My daughter had the best time at the Science Museum! The Science Museum in Oklahoma City is known for its engaging and hands-on approach to science education. During our visit, they were remodeling their main theatre area, but in the other section of the museum, team members were making cotton candy for the holidays, making balloons, and had several arts stations set up for the holidays. The Science Museum was festive! Visitors of all ages can explore all the exhibits from physics, technology, astrology, biology, and so much more! There are two different levels to the science museum, and make sure you give yourself enough time if this is your first time visiting. I felt like we had to rush the second floor since we spent so much time in the first area. One of the highlights of the museum is the planetarium. It provides a variety of shows throughout the day. One of the shows that my family and I saw was the journey through the cosmos! We felt so immersed in the awe-inspiring show! What was nice was that the show was interactive. You could ask the team members to show different planets and moons. You'll not only explore our solar system, but some of the distant galaxies as well! Make sure to check the science museums show schedule online. Typically, there are shows and events every hour. There are a ton of exhibits The Science Floor Tinkering Garage Finity CurioCity Kickpatrick Planetarium smART Space Light Minded Destination Space KidSpace The Gardens Aviation Gallery Oklahoma Aviation and Space Hall of Fame Gadget Trees Tiny Tracks Eye On the Sky Big Game Theory Oceanarium Power Play Energy Quest Mighty Mouth Elemental Worlds Follow the Monarchs Some of the areas my daughter spent the most of the time The Science Floor: There is a Segway station where you can ride a Segway. The Segway goes through a variety of different obstacles. She did this event a few times throughout the day. Big Game Theory We played a game of checkers and chess with an oversized light peg board. The games took approximately 45 minutes each. The Big Game Theory is located on the second floor. The checkers game is next to the gymnasium. She also played with the tumbling blocks and giant stacking. Eye on the Sky: We made a few different tornados. There is a trick to it, but a lot of fun! Gadget Trees: Two-story tree house with a massive spiral slide! We spent a lot of time running around in the indoor playground. There was also a self pully (6 pulleys & 28 feet of rope!) CurioCity: 20,000 square feet of endless activities. There are a variety of obstacle courses, a circus area where you can tightrope, self-power a merry-go-round, a fun-room, and a super cool indoor playground area. It had a lot of slides and tons of climbing inside. This was by far one of our favorite areas. She also spent a lot of time in the dinosaur area, excavating dinosaur bones! If you're local in OKC, and you haven't visited this place, you need to go! It was a blast! All of the exhibits are educational. My favorite was the Tiny Tracks. We actually go to walk through a Pullman Parlor Car. We got to see how people traveled in the 20th century! There is also a restaurant and café area inside the OKC Science Museum. Single-Day Admissions Adult (13-64)$20.95 Senior (65+) $15.95 Child (3-12) $15.95 The Single-Day admission was totally worth it, especially since we spent all day inside the museum. If you're local, you can also get a membership that allows unlimited admissions to the museum for a year and exclusive access to events. I would get a membership if I was local to OKC. My family and I had such an amazing time!

    Fun Dino  area!

It had been a while since our last visit, and I won't wait so long next time. The museum has remodeled since we were last there and everything feels fresh and updated. The Chihuly exhibit is even better than before, the layout really shows off the glass beautifully. We also enjoyed the Paul Reed exhibit and stopped by the gift shop on the way out, which had lots of great gift ideas. The little patisserie inside was busy and looked like it had a nice selection of coffee, tea, and cocktails. And a great tip: they offer free entry on the second Sunday of every month, which makes it an even better time to visit.

    Five stars, just for a magnificent Chihuly exhibit!…read more The Chihuly Exhibit comprises the entirety of the first floor of the museum and it is captivating. Others have shared enough photos that I need not add any additional pictures, but Chihuly makes it easy to understand glassworks as artworks. Simply magical. The second floor of the museum includes a small but engaging selection of European and American art. There are not a lot of immediately recognizable names but what there is, is high quality. It is also interesting to see how a younger museum builds its collection, when the great masters were gobbled up by older institutions. I was happy to see Copley and O'Keefe, among others. The third floor housed a special exhibit of a more contemporary artist. Modern Art is not so much my thing, but the artist did spawn a lot of debate between my son and me over the nature of art, so it had its effect.

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.

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.

Adult admission was $14 while child tickets were $12 each. It was nothing short of amazing. There were at that time over 450 real animal (including homo sapiens) bones donated from nature preserves, gardens, aquariums, and rehabilitation centers (per the brochure) I was given. We drove in a bit later than I anticipated, so we spent only about an hour here, but we could have easily spent hours reading all the facts and immersing ourselves into an extremely wide variety of skeletons. Afterwards we stopped by the gift shop where the friendly staff waited for us and others to finalize our choices. I got this super cute "Indiana Bones Temple of Tuna" sticker ($3.99) for my laptop. That design was on other items too. This is the only museum in the US dedicated solely to skeletons. And it just keeps growing. Huge fan!

The division had significant contributions during a variety of conflicts such as World War II and the Korean War. You'll be able to explore their comprehensive collection of artifacts, photographs, and exhibits that described the military journey. You will also see detailed information on training, battles, and sacrifices made by the soldiers of the 45th Infantry Division. Two of the most notable features is the Hall of Flags, where visitors can see the divisions distinctive flags and banners, as well as the outside area which has several tanks, helicopters, planes, and military vehicles. The Hall of Flags has symbols that represent the units and all the campaigns that the 45th Division was actively involved in. You will also see a variety of military equipment throughout all of the different conflicts, weaponry, and personal items. This is a phenomenal museum. We spent a few hours going through all the artifacts and reading the descriptions. Highly recommend visiting if you are local or visiting OKC.
