This tour through the National Weather Center was very interesting and informative. Our guide (Loren) was very enthusiatic and knowledgable and was also able to steer the discussion away from politics when it strayed. (Which was appreciated) You can take photos but in some areas there are no flash rules. Since we live so close we will probably be sure... More

I had no idea how much weather and the prediction of it affected our lives. This is where the heavy duty stuff goes down and these guys are the ones who chase storms! Thankfully, our guide broke the science down into words I could understand, but it still gave me so much to think about. Tornadoes are big business in... More

Viewers are always well informed. I can always count on this channel to keep me and my family will informed. We all live in different states and countries, this way I can always keep an eye on the weather.

You are allowed to visit the observation deck and... More

Realizing you are in the "Arrogant" town of Soonerville, try to look beyond the tour guide who likes to boast about football of days past! The weather center was the... More

If you are at all interested in weather, this is an AWESOME TOUR; free of charge, and lasted about 1.5 hours. Our guide recently earned his Masters in Meteorology and really knew his stuff. The top floor observation deck is fun to see; and the Storm Prediction Center is where it all happens. Very interesting to see the vehicles used... More
