About Oklahoma City
Originally founded in 1889, Oklahoma City has a prime geographical location on top of an oil field. This means the city’s largest source of income comes from the production and sale of oil and the oil fields play a distinct role in the fabric of the local lifestyle. This location also gives them prime position in what has become known as the “tornado alley” section of the U.S.
The biggest event ever to hit this city was the Oklahoma City bombings in 1995. Today, the Oklahoma City National Memorial Foundation exists as a memorial to those who died in the tragedy and a museum for those interested in learning about the experience. It has become one of the most visited attractions in the city.
There are also a variety of other museums scattered around the city, giving plenty for visitors to enjoy.
Transportation while exploring and viewing the city is rather unique as well, with the water taxi as an example. It is a boat which picks up passengers on a regular schedule along the Bricktown Riverwalk. From there, passengers are taken on a ride that lasts over half an hour with a guide pointing out the key points of interest along the way.
For family and group fun, there is always the city zoo and White Water Bay Water Park, which offers ten refreshing water rides suitable for all age groups.
