Answer 1

The Oklahoma City National Memorial is the largest memorial of its kind in the United States. It honors the victims, survivors, rescuers, and all who were changed by the Oklahoma City bombing on April 19, 1995. The memorial is located in downtown Oklahoma City on the former site of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, which was destroyed in the 1995 bombing.

Flowers and personal items left on several of the 168 memorial chairs on the 10th anniversary of the bombing.The National Memorial was established on October 9, 1997 and, as with all National Park Service historic areas, was administratively listed on the National Register of Historic Places the same day. The memorial is administered as a partnership between the National Park Service and the Oklahoma City National Memorial Foundation.

The National Memorial Museum and the Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism are the other two components. The Memorial Museum is open Monday through Saturday, 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.; Sunday, 1:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. The Memorial Museum is closed Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's days.

The memorial was formally dedicated on April 19, 2000 - the fifth anniversary of the disaster.

One of the more prominent landmarks downtown is the Crystal Bridge at the Myriad Botanical Gardens, a large downtown urban park. Designed by I. M. Pei, the Crystal Bridge is a tropical conservatory in the area. The park has several amphitheaters home to live theater performances and concerts in the summer. There is also a lake in the middle of the park inhabited by large Japanese Koi replete with waterfalls and fountains.


The Crystal Bridge at the Myriad GardensThe park is also home to the free Twilight Concert Series (summer) and the city's top festivals, including the annual Festival of the Arts (late April), the annual Downtown Salute - a month-long festival in July complete with parades, free concert acts, and the three-day long Bricktown 4th of July Celebration and Fireworks, and Opening Night (December 31/January 1).

The Oklahoma City Zoological Park is highly ranked nationally and is the oldest zoo in the Southwest US[verification needed]. It is home to numerous natural habitats, WPA era architecture and landscaping, and hosts major touring concerts during the summer at its amphitheater.

The Omniplex Science Museum in the Kirkpatrick Center is one of the largest Science Centers and General Interest Museums in the country[citation needed].
