I remember when the bombing took place and the aftermath of this terrible event. To go in and see the memorial is to almost relive that day. To see the chairs and to hear the stories it is a heart wrenching experience. If you go across the street look at the weeping statue of Jesus and remember all the people... More

This is a beautiful tribute to those lost that day. Very serene and breathtaking. A must see if you travel to OKC or live here but have not been.

I suggest the Museum and then the Memorial, you start on the 3rd floor and work your way down on a self guided tour of videos, displays, and personal stories. It is very educational and extremely sad. I remember it from the news but this really makes it real.

Go see this at night and take the time to listen to the park ranger tell the story. Every American should pay homage and see this memorial. Praying for the families of this tragedy.

First a confession. I love to visit Memorials. I believe I have visited every Memorial in Washington D.C. at least twice. The Columbine Memorial is less than a mile from my home. So when I was in OKC last week on business, I made a point of spending time at the Oklahoma City National Memorial. If you want to fully... More

Wow! Absolutely fantastic architecture for the memorial. Definitely in your best interests to find a ranger and discuss details. I cried! It was heart warming and is a definite must see. On a budget? Viewing the memorial is free! You don't have to go into the museum, which is where the fee is associated. My son was 1 when this... More

The history of the Oklahoma City Murrah Bombing is captured by the tranquility of this memorial to those who lost their lives, their families and friends. It truly is sacred site and if one simply stops for a minute the visit will invite a longer stay to quietly remember April 19, 1995, On the West side of the memorial and... More

The grounds are open both day and night and the view is inspiring and different depending on when the Memorial is viewed, we went in the evening the normal hushed, serene sight becomes haunting as you view the field of empty chairs aglow with ethereal lights that represents each person lost. The small chairs are perhaps the saddest as they... More

A beautiful experience. One of the most terrible times in our history remembered in a quiet setting. Paused to remember that we are never safe from the evil world. Leave a prayer in the air for the victims.
