Situated in south central United States, Oklahoma is a Great Plains state. Oklahoma isn’t the best known when it comes to attractions, but the state actually has quite a lot to offer including vibrant cities, parkland and culture.

There’s the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, the Oklahoma City Zoological Park, and the Myriad Botanical Gardens among the city’s more popular attractions.
Oklahoma City is also well known for the terrible event that took place here in 1995. A federal building was blown up by a US Army veteran resulting in the deaths of 168 people. There is the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum to visit, which marks this tragedy, and it’s in fact one of the most visited attractions in the state. There’s a moving memorial with a Survivor’s Wall where the 800 survivors are named. Those who died have been memorialised in the Field of Empty Chairs where each chair represents a victim. The Survivor Tree is popular too – it’s an American elm tree that survived the bombing while everything around it was destroyed.
