These specimens are from various animal species and demonstrate how the skeletal system functions. There are exhibits from the humpback whale, primate, elephant, and various other species, all on display. Visitors can also learn about Oklahoma wildlife and the natural history of Oklahoma. In addition to displaying animal skeletons, the museum also features artifacts from the state&#8217;s diverse landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Adventure District is a hub for tourism in Oklahoma City, and is home to the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, the National Softball Hall of Fame, and more. Most family-friendly attractions are located here, including the Science Museum. In addition, you can experience the city&#8217;s historical past through museums, zoos, and the City&#8217;s turn-of-the-century cattle town. This city has plenty to offer for every traveler, regardless of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a great night out, try a downtown Oklahoma City restaurant. The area is home to more than 45 restaurants, bars, and retail establishments. There&#8217;s even an urban beach for summertime fun. The diversity of the city&#8217;s businesses, educational institutions, and residential options is one of its attractions. While downtown Oklahoma City is a great place to spend your evenings, the city is home to many cultural and arts events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the city is well known for its southern charm, Oklahoma City is most famous for the bombing that struck the federal building on April 19, 1995. Five years later, the Oklahoma City National Memorial was opened in the city. It has many features, including an interactive tour and a field of empty chairs. If you&#8217;re a child, you&#8217;ll also find a special children&#8217;s area that offers activities and experiences for the entire family. You&#8217;ll also find several museums, outdoor activities, and a museum that commemorates the victims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The four seasons in Oklahoma City are spring, summer, and fall. Summers are a bit longer than they are in other cities, but temperatures range between 93deg and 27deg. However, they are still tolerable. The most pleasant months are October, September, and May. Despite these extremes, the city enjoys plenty of sunshine, and rain rarely falls during these months. As a result, the city&#8217;s ranking is easily recognizable to visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For sports fans, Oklahoma City is home to several professional sports teams. The Oklahoma City Thunder, which is part of the National Basketball Association, is the city&#8217;s second &#8220;permanent&#8221; major professional sports franchise. The Thunder replaced the AFL Oklahoma Wranglers in 2008 and are currently a part of the Oklahoma City NBA. In 2005 and 2006, the New Orleans\/Oklahoma City Hornets temporarily called Oklahoma City home. The Thunder were formerly known as the Sonics before moving to OKC in 2008.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A day trip to Oklahoma City may include visiting the Museum of Osteology, which has over 350 skeletons on display.
