So You Want to Visit the Oklahoma City Memorial? How Much Will It Cost You (Besides Tissues)?
Let's face it, visiting a memorial isn't exactly a budget-busting spring break trip to Cancun. But hey, history buffs and those who want to pay their respects deserve a little fun fact flinging before they plan their visit, right?
Here's the lowdown on the Oklahoma City Memorial's monetary situation:
The Outdoor Memorial: Free as a Bird (That Just Flew into a Discount Popcorn Stand) That's right, folks! The beautiful outdoor memorial with those powerful chairs is completely free to roam. You can take your time, ponder the significance, and maybe snap a selfie with a giant chair (hey, no judgement).
The Museum: Not Free, But Worth Every Penny (Except Maybe That Penny You Found in the Dryer Lint) Alright, alright, the museum does have a price tag. But fear not, frugal friends! It's a very reasonable fee that goes towards keeping this incredible museum up and running. Here's the breakdown:
- Adults: $18
- Seniors (62+): $16 (Respect the wrinkles, people!)
- Military (With ID): $16 (Thank you for your service!)
- Students (6-17 or college with ID): $15 (Keep learning, young scholars!)
- Children (5 and under): Free (Let the little ones skip the history lesson for free!)
So, basically, a visit to the Oklahoma City Memorial won't break the bank. You can spend a solemn afternoon reflecting outdoors for free, or delve deeper into the museum's exhibits for a very reasonable price.

Bonus Tip: Pack a picnic lunch! There are plenty of spots around the outdoor memorial to spread out a blanket and enjoy a frugal feast (just don't feed the pigeons, they've got a good racket going already).
