Steve’s take
The site of the April 19, 1995 Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building bombing — 168 victims memorialized in 168 empty chairs facing a reflecting pool, bookended by the granite Gates of Time (9:01 and 9:03, the minute before and after the blast). The Survivor Tree, the Field of Empty Chairs, the Children's Area — every element carries meaning. The outdoor memorial is free; the Museum charges admission. Allow ninety minutes. Downtown OKC, just off I-40. Not appropriate for very young children.
