The following sites are in walking distance from the conference hotel.
 Bricktown
Entertainment District – Once a warehouse neighborhood
near the railroad tracks, the Bricktown district just east of
downtown Oklahoma City is now a hot spot, known for its diverse
and often varied entertainment options. From restaurants and
nightclubs to shops and sporting venues surrounding a scenic
canal, there’s something for everyone in Bricktown. |
 Oklahoma City Museum of Art
– Located in the heart of downtown Oklahoma City, the Museum of
Art offers visitors fine works of art on three floors, including
“Dale Chihuly: The Exhibition,” the most comprehensive
collection of Chihuly glass in the world. Featuring traveling
exhibitions as well as displays from its permanent collection,
the museum offers self-guided family tour backpacks filled with
games and activities to encourage an interactive exploration of
the galleries, as well as Museum School art classes and
screenings of classic and art house films. |
 Myriad Botanical
Gardens – Nestled amidst the skyscrapers of downtown
Oklahoma City, the Myriad Botanical Gardens is a 17-acre,
nationally recognized garden featuring the Crystal Bridge
Tropical Conservatory, an amazing 224-foot-long, glass-enclosed,
circular jungle graced with towering palm trees, exotic
plantings, crashing waterfalls and abundant animal life. The
botanical gardens are a lush retreat of winding paths and calm
waters in the heart of the city. |
