Top 10 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (OK)
With over 50 legendary attractions including the National Cowboy and Western Museum and the Myriad Botanical Gardens, plus world-class shopping, restaurants and hotels OKC, as it is affectionately known, is the ideal spot for a weekend of fun and reflection. Discover the sights and sounds of the Old West in Stockyards City, watch horse races at Remington Park, then have dinner and see a show in historic Bricktown.

Our first visit to Oklahoma City so visited the Memorial with family who live here. A beautiful memorial! The setting is serene and thought-provoking as we walked around the reflecting pool, the walls, the survivor tree, the chairs each with the name of a victim, and the fence with notes and memorabilia. Very sobering, and more so with the stories our family shared of that day and the weeks that followed. (We did not visit the museum, due to time constraints.)

This magnificent glass and steel tower is an 850-foot high, 50-storied corporate skyscraper in the downtown area. It ties in height with the Park Tower in Chicago and is the 57th tallest building in the United States. Construction for this striking building started on October 6, 2009 and everything was completed in October 2012 at an estimated cost of 800 million dollars. It is the focal point and a symbol of the resurgence of Oklahoma City. You can see it from almost anywhere in the city. It contributes greatly to make the downtown look like an ultra-modern metropolis. One newspaper article states that “Oklahoma City is on the rise, and Devon Energy Tower is helping the city reach new heights – literally”. That statement rings absolutely true when you stand there looking at that tower. There are many boarded-up broken windows noticeable on one side. This was due to an unfortunate incident that occurred with the lift of some window-washers swinging out of control in May 2019. Fortunately the crew was safe, but it created lots of scare at the time. The architectural design has won several awards. The Lobby is marvelously modern and jaw-dropping. We were informed that the unique three-sided structure is a sustainable one during hurricane season. The amazing lighting at night makes it stand out like a beacon no matter where you are in the city. There is a very nice restaurant called “Vast” on the 49th floor with incredible views of the surrounds. We were fortunate to have had the chance to lunch there. We photographed this stunning building throughout the day in different lighting conditions, and every single time our pictures came out great. Amazing!

One of the few places that has a great selection of everything western. They staged a Western "shoot out" in the street while we were there and had a parade.

This is a classic building . It was built when Route 66 was the main east west route in Oklahoma City. In the heart of Little Saigon My neighborhood so I know it well.
