Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum

Some years have passed since this tragedy. But it all comes flooding back at this place. My wife and I cried on the first visit. The grounds are truly haunting, day or night. Bring a good camera .

Sobering, sad, eye opening, but a must-see. You could spend the whole day here. Don't miss the museum . They've done a beautiful job presenting, replicating many of the moments and history of the day.

Definitely check this out even if you're just visiting. I had 24 hours in OKC, and I'm so glad I made the museum a priority! (Pro tip: take your student ID for $12 admission!)

The tour in the museum is one of the most jarring experiences of my life. I couldn't shake the images for a month. You MUST visit here. The grounds are both gorgeous and sobering.

The museum has just installed new interactive exhibits , which do a great job of expanding on the story. If you've been before, come again to see what's new.

An absolute MUST SEE while you are in OKC. The museum is done really well . The memorial garden/lawn is a great place to journal or reflect by yourself.

Incredibly powerful, outdoor portion is open 24/7 and free to public. I do recommend going inside too, though.

"We see ourselves in this place-the face of someone changed forever by what happened here." The National Parks System FAQS page about the Memorial will help answer your questions about symbolism, etc.

Thousands of ceramic tiles were sent to Oklahoma in 1995. A sampling of those tiles is now a permanent part of the Oklahoma City National Memorial.

It is really moving and touching. The tributes left to the victims from the citizen of OKC is amazing. Cross the street to the Catholic Church and see the statue of Christ.

The consensus seems to be to come at night, but I came during the day, and I highly recommend it. This is an absolutely beautiful memorial, and if you're nearby you must come visit it. The Field of

An absolutely beautiful commemoration to those lost and affected by the OKC Bombing. The perfect kind of place for reflection where you can educate yourself and feel the weight of the history.

History will tell the story of a place whose people bonded together and how the whole world came to know it as "The Heartland". The memorial grounds that lay between the Gates of Time will move you. Read more

A moving monument to a terrible event . If you go, go at around 2am. City is quiet , no traffic and the lit-up chairs pop out to your eye. Very emotional and great time for reflection .

It's an amazing museum that takes you through the days events in a very unique way. Memorial is awe inspiring and a must see in Oklahoma.

If you do one thing in OKC , this should've it. Somber but so well done. Great way to tell the story of that horrific day.

I had the opportunity to visit and reflect on the memorial. Next time I'll try to go to the museum . Very moving.

Incredibly moving memorial. A must visit when in OKC. You can check it out quickly but take some time to reflect and learn.

Be sure to make time to hear one of the rangers tell the story behind the monument - fascinating, educational and entertaining.

Nice but sad...... Toured the grounds and will return for the inside museum tour .

Before the bombing the Survivor Tree served as the only shade in the parking lot . Now the tree , that is older than 80 years, serves as a rallying point and symbol for the memorial. Read more

Make sure to see it at night, and if you can, arrange for a local resident who was around in '95 to show you around, adds a whole new level to the experience.

takes your breath away. beautiful, thoughtful, meaningful. worth the stop.

Consider going on Sunday 1PM to 6PM. Lots of easy and free parking . The Memorial and Museum are a sobering experience . Hope is in the air. Read more

Like an outdoor art museum . Prettiest thing in OKC . Felt sage walking alone at night.

The outdoor grounds need to be seen both by day and at night - both equally incredible. The museum is well worth a visit, but take a tissue. Read more

Amazing! Museum is great, very interactive

See the Museum during the day, but return to see the grounds at night too. Find a coupon for $2 off Museum admission at http://www.travelok.com/printable-coupons. Read more

Love the children's chairs. So symbolic

Visit the fence on the West side of the Memorial grounds (9:03 wall). Read as much as you can. It's an amazing expression of human spirit. Never forget! Read more

This is the best thing in OKC , make sure you go inside the museum , it is done very well . Visit the grounds at sunset .

Make sure you look at the big tree that survived the bombing. It's amazing to see

This was our favorite part of our trip to OKC. And definitely go see the grounds at night . Read more

Very thought provoking. Chilling to see what the town went through.

Site of the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in 1995 which killed 169 people

This is a must-see experience.

Take your time. Remember.

Very moving experience. A must see.

Very educational and moving. Worth the ticket price.

Beautiful Memorial with lots of symbolism

Very good displays in museum !

Is such a peaceful place . I went there in 2006. I was an exchange foreign student and was living in Seminole by that year.

Go at sunset . Stay until its dark. I added a bunch of pictures so you can see the change.

This is a must for out of towners.

Whether you come here at night or during the day, it will have a pretty big impact. 168 empty chairs tends to do that.

Beware of the Memorial Parking lot , upper deck ($5), across the street will ruin the underside of your car.

Awesome, very detailed.

Museum is free on the anniversary of the event .

A must visit. Day and night

Breathtaking, moving.
