    While in Oklahoma City, we went to the state Capitol building. first off, it is a beautiful building, with many pieces of artwork. also is very informative aswell with a small museum inside. great information on the history of the land, native americans, oil and more. it's free to enter (all state Capitol buildings i have been to have been free to enter). they do have guided tours at selected times. Overall definitely worth visiting while in OKC

    I have never seen a very active day in any state capital. We probably visit this place when they have sessions. In addition, the capital also host many event. This included technology career day with a lot business put up the booth. We see robot dog on display. The entrance is at the basement when you head towards the capital to the right. Security check is a must. The cafeteria smell very good with light lunch serving. The capital has a lot of Indian art including the statue. Those art are beautiful and match the quality of the capital. The capital conference is also busy. Most of the room has some media for the news and discussion of issue. We met of few senators and they are very friendly. The capital is clean and comfortable. It is not the biggest that we have visited.

    There is a lot of walking, even in the underground section. The state police ate extremely helpful. We enjoy visiting periodically with our States Legislators. Additionally, it's a beautiful historical building, that's a tribute to the people that made Oklahoma a State.​

    If you have never been to the Capital it would be great to take a tour and check it out. Went down today to talk with Representatives and Senators for more funding to support the services our Domestic Violence Agencies do! We have lost a lot of funding g over the past year and it is critical to our work. Let's see how we did in upcoming months!

    Oklahoma State Capitol Building, Oklahoma City

    The 39th State Capitol that I have visited in my quest to get to and review all fifty. It is the only one I was able to get to this year. The most recent was Tallahassee https://www.yelp.com/biz/florida-state-capitol-tallahassee?hrid=4CT7bmAlnjKlCOnWrIfCnQ a year ago, so hopefully we don't add any more before I can get to the remainder! Construction on this massive building was begun in 1910 after the capitol was moved to here from Guthrie. It completed in 1917. The building's exterior is constructed mainly of Indiana limestone, with a base of local Oklahoma pink granite, and Oklahoma black granite for the grand staircase. The building was originally designed to have a dome but that was not added until 2002. The building is a neoclassical style that is similar to Sacramento https://www.yelp.com/biz/california-state-capitol-museum-sacramento?hrid=6QiO90KuK1_B9eW5cTEt3Q, Salt Lake City https://www.yelp.com/biz/utah-state-capitol-salt-lake-city?hrid=sGF8-QLICVwRim6tYhbAZw, Lansing https://www.yelp.com/biz/michigan-state-capitol-lansing?hrid=1-DWrOyfhko4XI26ibOUNw, Harrisburg https://www.yelp.com/biz/capitol-building-harrisburg?hrid=0cHkZQR66XPtNYnuucjdkg and definitely Austin https://www.yelp.com/biz/texas-state-capitol-austin?hrid=XxRoSDiNA4gpHkBZpBk6-w and Denver https://www.yelp.com/biz/colorado-state-government-capitol-building-denver?hrid=3Cka7jOhvYDktrP_oOnAbA. There is some construction going on right now so it's not as pretty as it could be. But it's still a majestic building that projects the power of the Sooner State even if it's closed up and secure on the weekend. (Remaining: Juneau, Honolulu, Boise, Springfield, Baton Rouge, Jefferson City, Carson City, Salem, Pierre, Olympia and Madison.) [Review 16219 overall - 59 in Oklahoma - 1725 of 2021.]

    Christmas tree and entrance to the OKC capitol...

    The Oklahoma State Capitol is the house of government of the U.S. state of Oklahoma. It is the Office of the best Governor in the union, Governor Kevin Stitt. The Beautiful Capitol of Ok also houses the Oklahoma Legislature and executive branch offices. The Oklahoma Capitol is just gorgeous inside and out. The outside of the OKC capitol is mainly Indiana limestone, while the base is our own gorgeous local Oklahoma pink granite, my personal favorite, with Oklahoma black granite for the grand staircase while the inside interior is mostly marble. Just stunningly gorgeous. Build on an oil field, the OKC state capitol complex is the only state capitol grounds in the US with active oil rigs. A must see to believe. While all the other governor's in the US destroy their state with fairytale globalist policies Governor Kevin Stitt has been busy protecting the citizens of Oklahoma. Oklahoma recently passed a law in the state to incarcerate all illegal immigrants, ship them back to where they came from unless they want to get a green card and become an American citizen. HB 1804. They also passed a law to include DNA samples from any & all illegal's to the Oklahoma database, for criminal investigative purposes. SB 1102 Also, Oklahoma just passed a law, declaring Oklahoma as a Sovereign state, not under the Federal Government directives. Joining Texas, Montana & Utah. More states are likely to follow: Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, the Carolina's, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, West Virginia, Mississippi, Florida. The federal Government has made steps to take away our guns. Oklahoma, just passed a law confirming people in this state have the right to bear arms and transport them in their vehicles. The state has also voted & passed a law that ALL driver's license exams will be printed in English, and no other language. This is America, we speak English. ALL of the road signs are in English. If you want to drive in Oklahoma, you must read and write English. Really simple folks. Oklahoma law also just passed, 37 to 9, an amendment to place the Ten Commandments on the front entrance to the state capitol. HB1330 They used to be there but they took them away, now they are back. Thank you Oklahoma for putting God first again, as this Nation is, One Nation Under God, with Liberty and Justice for ALL. Hence the quote on every Government building and our currency "In God we Trust." Governor Kevin Stitt just offered all our beautiful lands of the state of Oklahoma back to King Jesus in a healing prayer. Governor Stitt prayed: "Father, we just claim Oklahoma for you. Every square inch, we claim it for you in the name of Jesus. Father, we can do nothing apart from you. We don't battle against flesh and blood but against principalities and darkness. "And father, we just come against that, we just lose your will over our state right now in the name of Jesus. We just thank you and we claim Oklahoma for you with the authority that I have as governor and the spiritual authority and the physical authority that you give me. "I claim Oklahoma for you that we will be a light to our country and to the world. We thank you that your will was done on Tuesday and father, that you will have your way with our state, with our education system, with everything within the walls behind me. "Lord, we pray that you will root out corruption and bring the right people into this building." Amen! Thank you Governor Stitt. Recently I stopped by the OKC Capitol to support the #FreeTheAmericans rally. The Christmas tree on the steps of the capitol is really lovely so I left you a note to remind you that we need to come together as Americans to help our fellow Americans, our brothers & sisters of #j6 We are ALL Americans, live under the same constitution. ALL AMERICANS, ALL citizens. We all enjoy the same rights under the Law, which include, basic human rights & due process of the law. "One Nation under God with Liberty & Justice for ALL." The #J6 Americans aren't getting any rights. No bail, no court dates, no speedy trial, no due process. Nothing. They have been locked away & forgotten. This is a civil rights issue. A violation of their Constitutional rights. We do not hold Americans "political prisoners" in America over politics. This is not the American way. These are our own countrymen. Some, from our cities, our towns, our state of Oklahoma. I meant what I said in my last email, you are the best governor in the union, you are my hero. Thank you again Governor Stitt for all your prayers, putting God first & all the wonderful bills you have been passing lately for the state of Oklahoma. The tree on the Capitol steps is really beautiful, but helping #J6 #FreetheAmericans would be the best Christmas gift of all. Merry Christmas Governor Stitt, God bless you, and God bless Oklahoma. #FreeTheAmericans

    Brenda did an amazing job on our walking tour! I wish we were able to go in the dome, but she said they do have special tours where you can do that if you RSVP in advance. Beautiful artwork!!

    Harish V.

    Bummer!!! Google says it's open but it's closed. Went there and pretty disappointed . Saw lot of people there who are in the same boat looking confused. Just walked around and clicked a few pictures and boom and started to next spot on our check list.

    If you're a fan of Oklahoma or of history in general, do stop by the Capitol for a tour if you're in the City. I had not been in almost 20 years and was pleasantly amazed at the updates. The beautiful architecture alone is worth the visit. The tour guides are phenomenal and really know their stuff from Oklahoma history all the way to the displayed artwork. Lots of Oklahoma-y things in the gift shop. Don't forget to stop in and your the museum featuring Oklahoma history and the history of the capital building itself.

    Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! We went here to not only see the beautiful history of this amazing place, but to recreate my grandpa's picture while he was in the military with one of our sons and his military friend! Pretty amazing to see the changes from his picture taken in the 1950's!!

    Can't post much as we went for morning walk on Sunday as our Airbnb was only 1 mole from Capitol. The building is under construction so couldn't see it up close, and well maintained outside. There is tribal memorial at the back side of building and veterans memorial on side that are good to cover as well.

    Capitol south front.

    As the old saying of "Don't judge a book by its cover" goes, Oklahoma's state capitol building is a reminder to follow that age old advice. Old and genteel on the outside, yet regal and decadent on the inside is what sums up a remarkable structure of modern architecture that houses the entire state government of the Sooner State. One of the first things that you notice upon driving down the street heading toward the south front of the building is a large oil pump. Not certain if it still works or not (I assume that it does), yet it leaves a lasting impression of accentuating the state's motto of "Labor conquers all things." The parking area with the south front is quite large, with half of it reserved for state employees, elected officials, and the press. Upon getting close to the building, the first homage to the native American heritage of the state is paid to a large statue of an native American woman, presumably that of the Choctaw tribe. After entering security, the capitol building has 5 floor levels open to the public, not counting the basement. On the second floor, there is quite a bit of paintings all around the office, one of which is a large version of Mickey Mantle, the New York Yankees great and son of Oklahoma. There are other paintings of Will Rogers, Jim Thorpe, and past governors and state contributors on other floors. Marble seems to be the stone of the day, and it is shown prominently throughout the building. And of course, the large capitol dome reflects a greco-roman style of architecture that would make even Michelangelo jealous. While there are other exhibits to observe on the building's northern front (i.e., The Ten Commandants monument until mid-October 2015, the fountain of tears), you'll see quite a bit of state employees getting their exercise at all hours of the day just by circling the building via speed-walking. This building is certainly one of the first that I've seen that reflects the heritage and diversity of the state with a nod to a style of architecture that isn't seen in very many places within the United States. Well worth the stop, if ever in Oklahoma City for a few hours.

    The round bard
    Brett T.

    I've lived in Oklahoma for a little over a year now and just visited the capitol for the first time the other day. It was well worth the trip. I learned a lot, enjoyed the beauty of the space and all of the art. It's a very beautiful building. We enjoyed going room to room and trying to see it all. We especially enjoyed the Governor's gallery. If all of that isn't enough to convince you then the only thing I can say is that it's free. Nothing beats something free to do. :)

The whole installation commemorates the Land Run of 1889, when settlers surged into the Unassigned Lands to stake homesteads in what would become Oklahoma Territory. The scale of the installation here is enormous, with dozens of figures charging forward. Horses stretched mid-stride, wagons tilting, every dace carved with urgency. One has clearly fallen in their haste. It really does tell the tale. We had the place mostly to ourselves which made it easy to slow and take in the detail. The only interruption was a family who decided the clearly posted "no climbing" sign was more of a suggestion than a rule and that's why we can't have nice things. Grrr! But even that didn't take away from the artistry. Paul Moore spent more than twenty years bringing this to life and the result is one of the largest bronze sculpture installations in the world, honoring the settlers who raced out on April 22, 1889.

It wasn't until October, when I passed through OKC with German and a friend mentioned the memorial, that I looked it up. This time, passing through again and not in a rush, I decided to visit the memorial on a Sunday. I couldn't find the parking garage mentioned on the website, so I parked across the street in the post office lot since it was Sunday (I don't think this would be okay on weekdays). When I asked a staff member about parking, she said that was fine. The memorial grounds themselves are beautiful and open to the public 24/7 for free. You can walk around the Gate of Time and the Field of Empty Chairs, which was especially moving, though the atmosphere felt quite heavy and chilling. it was decorated with the Christmas wreath, but there's definitely nothing about holidays cheer can be felt here Please note that bags larger than 14 inches are not allowed inside the museum. Museum admission is $18, and you're supposed to get free parking at a nearby garage, though directions weren't very clear. The museum starts on the second floor and tells the story of the 168 people who died in the 1995 bombing. What struck me most was how it emphasized that it was just an ordinary morning--people checking in to work before 9 a.m., unaware of what was about to happen. The museum was a bit crowded when I visited, likely because it was Sunday, and some visitors brought young kids who were running around, which felt a little distracting given the nature of the space. I don't think many people still actively think about this event, but if you ever find yourself in Oklahoma City, I do think it's worth visiting. It's a powerful and sobering experience.

Bricktown includes many restaurants, hotels and the banjo museum. We walked the length of the Canal area. The upper area has many bars, mini-golf and the water taxi. The lower end has fewer restaurants, more garden areas and runs along the highway. The Centennial Land Run memorial is a gorgeous piece of art and should absolutely be part of any visit to the city. We also visited Chickasaw Plaza where a warrior statue sits in the center and much information about Chickasaw history around the edges. Although loud on the lower end because of the nearby highway, it's somehow calmer as there are fewer businesses and more nature. Through our search for places to dine we found a lot of bars in OKC. We did visit some very nice establishments and it seems the city has a prosperous bar culture. I really wanted to find a nice little coffee café. A sunny place to have a coffee drink, chat, work on my computer or people watch with a brioche. I couldn't fine one. At least not in the area we were staying. This was our first visit to Oklahoma and we didn't have an opportunity to visit the many other museums in the area but there is something about the city that left us feeling very 'low'. We actually felt like a weight was lifting from us as we drove away from the city limits even though we found the people to be friendly.

    My family and I visited Devon Energy Center on a Tuesday afternoon for brunch at Vast! We only…read morefound out about this place from the Watertaxi ride that we rode during our journey through Bricktown in Oklahoma City the day before. Devon Energy Building is a 50-story skyscraper. It's in downtown Oklahoma City, and it's the tallest building in the city and state. I think it's also the tallest building from Chicago to Texas. The building was decorated for the holidays! It had a giant ornament sitting on top of what I had originally thought was granite, only to find out that after dining at Vast, it's actually still water! It was so beautiful. The building is futuristic. In the middle of Devon Energy Center, it looks like their metallic pine combs hanging from the center. All the glass windows are completely open. It's absolutely stunning inside and outside the building. It was relatively easy to get to Vast inside the Devon Energy Center. There are signs pointing you in the direction of Vast. Floor 49 is the restaurant, and floor 50 is for private events. The elevators are really fast! It took only seconds to get up to the 49th floor. There was never a long wait for the elevator. The views from the 49 floor are gorgeous. You can see the entire Oklahoma City. I could only imagine what the views looked like during the evening with all of the lights in the city glowing! There are also bathrooms on floor 49 if you're eating at Vast. The only issue that my family and I had, since we're not locals to Oklahoma City, was finding parking for the Devon Energy Center. We couldn't locate the parking for the building and ended up parking in a parallel open spot, nearby, and walking over. I think if we were more familiar with the area, I'm sure we could have found it, but after 20 minutes driving around, we didn't want to be late for our reservation at Vast for brunch.

    Gorgeous building inside and out! I feel it legitimizes our downtown and adds to the evolution of…read moreour city toward urban modernity. It truly is a sculptural building, especially inside and the grounds around it. Minimalistic with wonderful lines, textures and contrasts. Views from Vast on the 49th floor are fantastic! Especially at night. I highly recommend walking in and grabbing seats at the bar or in their lounge. The elevators to and fro are very smooth and fast. They also hold fun seasonal events for families most of which are free of charge. But if there is any bad weather they will cancel and not reschedule so be sure to check ahead online. My only complaint, and it is a big one, is the parking. The valet workers here are rudest people, arrogant and disrespectful. Since you must go through the valet, just avoid parking here altogether and save yourself the drama. Park at a nearby street meter and walk, it's not far. I'm not sure who does the valet hiring but they need to seriously rethink their practices. I wanted to tank the star rating due to the rude valet behavior but I resisted. It is definitely a building worth visiting and I love seeing it on the horizon regardless of where I am in OKC.
