2024 Official OKC Visitors Guide

MUSEUM OF OSTEOLOGY A museum dedicated to bones. Why not? Explore more than 450 skeletons, as well as a large collection of skulls. A mix of fascinating and hands-on exhibits focus on education and appreciation of the natural world.

MYRIAD BOTANICAL GARDENS A local favorite, you’ll find the downtown crowd dancing in the gardens, walking dogs, sharing a picnic, listening to free concerts and enjoying the beauty of this 17-acre urban botanical garden. At the center of the Gardens is the Crystal Bridge Conservatory, which houses plant collections, sculptural points of interest, overlook terraces and a waterfall feature.

NATIONAL COWBOY & WESTERN HERITAGE MUSEUM More than an homage to the cowboy spirit, this wildly popular destination tells the diverse stories of the West with some of the world’s most beautiful Western art, a full-scale town and a room with over a thousand different barbed wires! An outdoor educational experience called Liichokoshkomo’ (Chickasaw for “Let’s Play!”) brings to life Native American and prairie dwellings, a train depot and more. Cowboys from the cinematic landscape share space with those who had their boots on the ground .

OKLAHOMA CITY MUSEUM OF ART The striking Dale Chihuly piece hanging in the foyer is an indication that there are awe-inspiring discoveries inside the MOA. The museum curates traveling or special exhibits while also housing an impressive permanent collection, including a piece from former President Barack Obama’s portraitist Kehinde Wiley.
