Back to School BOGO!

We’re excited to offer two weekends of back to school buy-one-get-one-free tickets for August 5, 6, 12 and 13! Come inside the Museum and stop by the ticketing desk (not available online) with your student or anyone you want to have a meaningful experience with and we’ll help get you started.

NEED ANOTHER REASON TO BRING YOUR STUDENT? HERE ARE SIX!

1. Historical Significance: The Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum commemorates the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, a tragic event in American history. It provides an opportunity to learn about this significant incident and its impact on the community and the nation.
2. Education and Awareness: Exhibits, artifacts, and interactives show children the consequences of violence and the importance of empathy, compassion, and tolerance – encouraging a sense of social responsibility.
3. Personal Connection: Children connect with the stories of those who were killed, those who survived and those changed forever by the April 19, 1995, bombing – deepening their understanding of the resilience of people and communities in the face of tragedy.
4. Life Lessons: The Museum promotes important values like unity, healing, and remembrance. Children can learn about the power of forgiveness, the consequences of hatred and violence, and the importance of working together to create a better future.
5. Sensory Experience: The Outdoor Memorial provides a serene and contemplative space to reflect and pay their respects. It can be a powerful experience that helps connect emotionally to the events that occurred.
6. Promoting Civic Engagement: Children will develop a sense of civic duty and engagement. They’ll understand the role of memorialization in preserving history, and preventing future acts of violence.

Visiting before school starts gives parents a chance to expose their children to these important lessons, while fostering understanding, and a commitment to building a more compassionate and peaceful society.
