attractions around OKC (Oklahoma City, Bromide: house, school, camp)

[luckygreeniii]

My family will be driving through the OKC area in about a week and I was wondering if there are any great places to stop and see such as civil war museums, things that younger kids might enjoy, or natural wonders? I am not familiar with the area at all, we are willing to drive a little out of the way if there is something worth seeing. I have searched the OK tourism sites and they really haven't been much help. Thank you in advance for any information. I have read the sticky but I didn't see anything on there that fits what we are looking for.

Are you looking for something more indoors or outdoors? And I am guessing you are looking for something unique to oklahoma/oklahoma city? Also how old are your children?

I dont have any children myself, but I remember when I was younger I really enjoyed my trip to the Omniplex. It is a science museum here in oklahoma city. It was pretty interesting and had a lot of hands on exhibits which the kids would love. Also RIGHT next to the omniplex.. ( you wouldn't even have to drive to a new parking lot if you didnt want to) is the Oklahoma city zoo. You could spend the better part of the afternoon and visit both of them.

Here is a link to the OKC omniplex as well as the OKC zoo if you want to take a quick look. I am sure others might have some other suggestions, but this will get you started.

Hello,
I live three hours south of okc,ok and and I have found an area that has an area that
would make your kids and you very happy to go there, but not in the city. i live in a very small community named Bromide. We have a boy scout ranch lake and camp here with all kinds of rivers and trails here. I just moved here about one month ago and I love it. There are mountains and lots of history. Also you can telecommute to work with small school that is top of the state scholastic league. I bought two lots and one big five bdrm house for 6,ooo.oo here.

Just a suggestion
