Which area is best to stay?

My husband,my 8 year old son and I are planning a short getaway around March 18-20. We are planning to visit the Cowboy Museum,the memorial downtown, possibly the zoo and the omniplex.(Which I didn%26#39;t see anywhere as a place of interest to visit) We were there when my son was a baby,but I don%26#39;t remember a whole lot about the Omniplex. I seem to remember that it was an ok place. My son is interested in space and the solar system. At any rate I would like to know what area would be best for us to stay, and if there are any suggestions of any other activities that we might be interested in.

Hope you have fun while you are here! As for hotels, what price range are you interested in? That may help narrow down the choices.

Overall, the downtown area is probably one of the better places to stay, but is only close to the Memorial and Bricktown and will run around $200/night or more (After taxes).

No matter where you stay you will end up driving to the other locations - The OKC Zoo http://www.okczoo.com/; Omniplex (which has been rebranded ';Science Museum Oklahoma'; and contains a Aviation and Space exhibit) http://www.omniplex.org/; and the National Cowboy %26amp; Western Heritage Museum http://www.nationalcowboymuseum.org/.

Other places of interest are the Sam Noble Museum of Natural History in Norman:

Thanks bunches for all the info, modcon. We are sure to have a great time!! As far as motels go, I think that I am going to give priceline a try for your fair city. I did pretty well with them in KC. Thanks again!!

Sounds like you already found most of the great places to go with kids. I think he would really enjoy the Museum Formerly Known as Omniplex. It has a planetarium and an air and space museum, and has added a few things since you were there, including the Gymnastics Hall of Fame and a dome movie theatre. On hotels, if not downtown, I would recommend hotels on the NW side, around Penn Square Mall. There is a courtyard there, a marriott, a crown plaza, a hampton inn, a Country Inn and suites, and many others.

Here%26#39;s my OKC ';must list';, if it helps. Hope you have a great trip!
