Oklahoma City National Memorial
In Memory of Those Who Died
Back to Oklahoma City National Memorial
I just went to Oklahoma City today and went to memorial for the first time. When I was a teenager, I just happened to be in Oklahoma City on a school trip the day this occured. The memorial is very moving, although I did not dare try to go through the museum because by the time I made it to the Survivor Tree, I was too emotional to continue. Guides were around the park, and were very helpful and were able to answer every question I asked them. If you do not like to do sad things, avoid this, however, this is a place I believe every citizen of Oklahoma, AND the United States should see because it is a stark example of the power of violence, and the greater powers of hope, unity, and love.

By charging for entry into this museum, those killed are being exploited by the workers and owners of the museum. Why do those of us who wish to remember the victims of this incident have to pay to do so?? A little odd in my opinion...

I am only 12, and I have been to this memorial many times. It is amazing. Very touching and moving. And while you are there, visit the museum. It is so very moving. It was amazing. I'm definitely going back.

This experience may be too intense for children, but every adult should go throught the museum and visit the memorial. The memorial itself is fine for children.

The Oklahoma City National Memorial is tastefully done and is a touching and meaningful reminder of those who lost their lives in the tragedy. I would highly recommend visiting the memorial if you are going to OKC.

Very touching and humbling experience. I don't remember very much about the day of the bombing, but the feeling of loss and the courage of the families and all who assisted in the search and rescue workers are present.

The city did a great job on this memorial. Very respectable and well done. Did not go to the inside museum. The items left at the memorial by family and friends in rememberance of their lost loved ones took it over the top for me. I had seen these things on tv before but in person, it really left a mark.

Prepare for a kartharsis and if you have a soul, to shed tears of frustration, outrage, sorrow and even joy to the resiliency of the human will.

Get ready with the tissues. As a Mom, and a person who absolutely LOVES Oklahoma, it seemed like I was in tears the entire time. I spent hours just browsing and reflecting on what was being said, what was being shown to me, how others felt. This was an amazing self guided tour. Don't miss it, you'll be captivated.

I wasn't really wanting to go in to the museum - but am so glad I was talked in to it. It was an interactive museum and grabs your heart. Makes you realize how precious a second can be - how precious life is. Outside was so quiet - all the people and no one hardly spoke above a whisper. Very advisable to go.
