Introducing Oklahoma City
Often abbreviated to OKC, Oklahoma City is known around the world for the tragic 1995 bombing of the Alfred P Murrah Federal Building by domestic terrorists. It has worked hard over the years to become more than just a cowtown, all without turning its back on its cowboy heritage. It’s a manageable, friendly city with a well-rounded roster of attractions. A botanic garden in the heart of downtown and a renovated warehouse entertainment district further boost the town’s appeal. Plan on making it more than just a Route 66 pit stop: if you’ve got the time, you’ll want to stay a few days.
