USA - OKLAHOMA - OKLAHOMA CITY : MOSEY ON DOWN TO BRICKTOWN  With the same spirit of the pioneers who settled the city and created one of the most dynamic young towns of the early century, today’s Oklahoma City has been reinvented to offer visitors a fun-filled combination of attractions, events, restaurants and amenities.Nowhere will you find a greater concentration of Oklahoma City’s modern-day urban vitality than in Bricktown, an early-day warehouse district transformed in the last decade to become the fastest growing entertainment district in the Southwest. Just east of downtown, the area is home to a mile-long riverwalk-style canal, AAA baseball stadium, shopping and some of the city’s best restaurants and most active night clubs. Bricktown has something for everyone. The city’s western, pioneer spirit can most easily be seen in some of Oklahoma City’s top attractions, like the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, Remington Park Race Track, Stockyards City, Frontier City Theme Park, and the Red Earth Indian Center. Each reflects the strong ties this area has with its western heritage. If you want to experience a little of the real West of today, mosey on down to Stockyards City, a few minutes west of downtown. Home to the world’s largest stocker/feeder livestock market, Stockyards City is the "genuine article," with cowboys and ranchers bringing in cattle from all over to be sold at auction. There are also many western wear and cowboy specialty shops lining the streets, or you can pick up a watercolor or sculpture from a master Native American artist at one of the fine art galleries. Bricktown isn’t the only attraction to Downtown Oklahoma City – the focal point is the futuristic-looking Crystal Bridge, part of the Myriad Gardens Botanical Conservatory. Thousands of tropical plants and desert vegetation fill the seven-story, glass and steel structure. Inside, designers have created a 40-foot waterfall that you can walk under. On the north side of downtown you will find the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum. This stunning tribute pays honor to the victims of the 1995 terrorist bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. The outdoor memorial features 168 chairs, symbolizing the lives lost. Inside the museum highlights the story of the tragedy and the impact of terror. Oklahoma City’s Adventure District is the center of family fun starting with the Omniplex, seven museums and numerous galleries all housed under one very large roof. The science museum is a perfect place for kids to explore. But don’t stop there, a visit to the Omniplex wouldn’t be complete without a stop at the Red Earth Indian Center, the Air Space Museum, the International Photography Hall of Fame, Kirkpatrick Planetarium, the Gardens and Greenhouse, or the OmniDome, a 70-mm IWERKS theatre. Next stop in the adventure district is Frontier City, a western-style theme park. And then there is the Oklahoma City Zoo and also Remington Park, Oklahoma City’s world class pari-mutuel horse racing facility If events, entertainment and recreation are more to your liking, then you will love Oklahoma City. From concerts at the Ford Center, Civic Center Music Hall or Zoo Amphitheatre to the Oklahoma City Philharmonic Orchestra, Ballet Oklahoma, and Broadway shows at Lyric Theatre, there is something for everyone. Oklahoma City is known as the "horse show capitol of the world". Horse events at State Fair Park, along with the Spring Festival of the Arts, bi-annual Affair of the Heart, and annual State Fair of Oklahoma bring together food and entertainment. Beautiful lakes, parks and championship golf courses and top notch tennis facilities also await the outdoor enthusiast. Photo: courtesy Oklahoma City Convention and Visitors Bureau
