Hit the Bricks Walking Tour
Enjoy a guided walking tour of the sights, sounds and surprises downtown Oklahoma City has to offer! Begin the morning with a walk through Bricktown. For more than a century, the Land Run of 1889 has inspired artists and writers drawn to the universal themes of adventure, hope and diversity. Today, projects from MAPS – one of the most aggressive and successful public-private partnerships ever undertaken in the U.S. – such as the AT&T Bricktown Ballpark and the festive canal offer new inspiration for the creative spirit.

And along the way, take a peek at the Painted Door – an emporium where visitors will find an array of gifts perfect for giving . . . or keeping.

Enjoy lunch at Trattoria il Centro – Oklahoma's trendiest Italian kitchen.

Next, the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum was created to honor those who were killed, those who survived and those changed forever by the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. The Memorial and Musem are dedicated to educating visitors about the impact of violence, informing about events surrounding the bombing, and inspiring hope and healing through lessons learned by those affected.
