It's obvious that Regal has officially taken over Moore Warren. Weekday Services is Terrible!!! Purchased online tickets for I-Max theater which is on the "Far North" side of the building. Doors are locked !! find a small sign taped to door "go to main entrance for tickets" (this means walking halfway round the building in the cold, then fighting the mob to get in and retrieve tickets.) This caused everyone (at least 30+ people) to be late to the start of the movie. To top it off the concession stand for the IMAX theater area is closed.?!? .. I found an employee through passing and asked ("why the doors were locked and Why the concession stand was closed?") Employee responded (" they now close doors and concession stand for imax during the week")
Management I hope your reading This !!! When you purchase IMAX tickets they are a Premium Price (More Expensive) and with that price comes with the luxury of having the IMAX area fully open doors and concession!!! IF you are not going to offer the full Imax experience then why not 1.) reduce ticket cost (during the week) 2.) make it clear that the doors will be locked and concession closed ONLINE and outside. 3.) Or simply not offer IMAX during the week.
Movie quality - A
Staff friendliness - B
Popcorn - B
Management for daily operations - D
IMAX Experience - D (Movie was good or would have been F)
Regal you better get your crap together on this theater People of Moore have experienced a level of Excellence from the Moore Warren, and would like to keep it that way. Please don't screw this theater up it was working great before you took it over!! People of Moore and Surrounding areas Deserve Better!

A short drive from OK City, this Park was a great stop for our young family on our cross country road trip. Our toddler absolutely loved exploring the grounds and coming upon the variety of animals. We visited the Park on a particularly windy and misty morning, so we had the whole place to ourselves minus a children's birthday party taking place in the event space.
It was easy for us to wander the grounds and feed the lemurs. We saw so many big cats and other large animals. It was an excellent learning opportunity for our toddler, and not crowded like a traditional zoo.
We decided to increase our entrance fee so we may have a one on one session with several animals. Our toddler's mind was blown being able to pet a tortise, boa, lemur, baby kangaroo, and fennec fox for that extra time and money. Very unforgettable and highly recommended!

I went to OU so this place will always have a special place in my heart. While the stadium seating has expanded in the 39 years since I was a freshman the underneath concessions look to be about the same. Husband wasn't too impressed with them but I told them that people tailgate for their food and drink and come here for the game. The restrooms were clean. The PA announcer was easy to understand and the big screens were nice. We had bench seats on the west side and rented seats for $10 that we had to drag up to our seats ourselves which was a hassle. I see you can preorder the cushion seats and they will be waiting for you. We parked at Lloyd Noble which was free and took the bus that was $5 each way (about a 3 block walk to pick up and drop off site but they offer closer in for disabilities and senior citizens). We stayed for 30 minutes with our relatives who were tailgating at LN after the game and then had zero problem leaving with traffic. For me it was a great memory out of my past!

This museum is multilevel with impressive pieces of art, including authentic Van Gogh. There are sculptures, contemporary pieces, modern, Native American, etc. We were unaware that the fourth floor had a new exhibit on the body. Full nudity which was a little shocking to the children in the group! Now, we did go up the back stairs, the front stairs stated the exhibit, so that was our fault! The museum has many security to ensure the pieces are not disturbed. I appreciated how attentive they were, but also how knowledgeable. They were easy to talk to and answered all of our questions! There is a very small gift shop, but it had several unique items and it was fun to look around. I enjoyed the furniture and China that was on display.
The museum is on the OU campus. It is free, you just sign in. You cannot bring drinks in, but there is a coat space and shelves to leave items. It was not busy (we went on a Sunday in November), but there were several throughout the museum. I believe you can find something for everyone in this museum!

9. National Weather Center

Reviewed By csserious - Chantilly, Virginia
The center is one of its kind with more than 500 meteorologists working on all sorts of projects there. The tour requires online application beforehand, where a question relates to the citizenship of the visitor. The tour lasted about 75 minutes, with a look at the weather chaser vehicles and tornado watch control room, which is a secured facility, where you could only see the big monitors. I expected much more, with an in-depth look of all types of scanners, radars and sensors used today, and videos of deadly tornadoes and and how these calamities are actually handled in the field as well as in the control room. In essence, I expected far more attention grabbing stuff.
