National Weather Center

Reviewed By 97ethank - Illinois, United States

The National Weather Center is pretty cool. I had a tour there and got to see the doppler on wheels, the SPC, and the observation deck on the top floor. They have a cafe inside though we didn't eat there. On a nice day there are a lot of solid outdoor photo ops. I might be a bit biased because I'm a prospective meteorology student at OU, but this place is really nice. Even if you are just a casual visitor and aren't really into meteorology, I would still recommend checking it out as the tour was completely free and wasn't overly technical or scientific.

Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History

Reviewed By meisharona007 - Oklahoma City, United States

My friends and I enjoyed the adult only evening at the Museum. They had trivia, a scavenger hunt, food, and painting. It was a fun time, and the 3 hours of the program went by pretty quickly. If any time you see this Museum having another event like this, I recommend you try it, especially if it's for you.
