This is one of the best Memorials and Museum's I have ever been to. There is so much information and things to see and they really do a good job of taking you back to that day. They have volunteers throughout the museum who are more than willing to answer questions for you and even just offer up some information... More

We visited a year ago and I wasn't sure how I would feel , but the moment we walked thru the entrance it hit me . Thinking of all the people who lost their lives or had family members affected , I still remember as if we were back at the memorial . OKC did a fabulous job in creating... More

Easily accessed (I parked across the street at a two-hour meter for $3, and I believe there is also a dedicated lot for $5), happened to get there just as a park official was giving a tour to school kids, so got to hear all about the various elements of the memorial, which itself is very peaceful and solemn.

Very nicely done. We learned many things we did not know or remember from 1995. It was good to see up close the horrible destruction. A very nice memorial to the people who lost their lives.

Is as important of a visit as any to a memorial that reminds us how quickly life and perceptions of our world can be changed by the selfish, angry and cruel opinions of individuals deluded by corrupted views of this country and the founding fathers efforts to give it a sound base of reasoning.

My BF & I did the whole tour, including looking @ the walls, outside, & indoors. It was so 'emotional', like you could almost feel what the victims felt. Many displays of what happened the day of the bombing & how intense it was all. Definitely, take a few hours its a 'must see' experience you'll never forget.

The site and museum are extremely well done. Ask a Park Ranger to describe for you the symbolism which might be missed unless someone provides the background; e.g., the six trees, the five chairs between the first and second trees, etc. In five minutes you'll have a much better understanding of how events unfolded between 9:00 am and 9:03 am...

There is a sense of serenity and peacefulness here at this place where such violence happened. I was traveling and did not want to miss this. Did not have time for the museum though. Will plan a return trip with my family. Very moving experience. Ps. There is a fee for the museum but not for the grounds. The park... More

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
