*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
If you�re planning to take a trip to Oklahoma City with the kids in tow, you might be wondering what activities the city has to offer. Fortunately, there a quite a few fun places that are perfect for visiting with kids of all ages and interests.

Let�s start with some of the more obvious destinations, such as the city�s zoo. As one of the most family-friendly zoos in the country, the Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden can provide the perfect backdrop for a day of fun and adventure. It has an array of top-notch habitats that were specially built to house the zoo�s lions and other big cats, apes, elephants, and other creatures. Many kids will want to go a step beyond merely watching animals and directly interact with them. Although your child won�t be allowed to walk among the lions any time soon, the zoo does have several areas set up specifically for interactions with lorikeets and barnyard animals.

If you think your family will be more interested in an adrenaline rush as opposed to visiting the zoo, turn to Frontier City, Oklahoma City�s own theme park. With four roller coasters � including the Steel Lasso, the state�s only suspended coaster � an expansive water play area, and several exciting shows, you and the little ones are sure to enjoy the park. Before you head to the park, be sure to check the hours of operation on the attraction�s website because the park is only open seven days a week during the summer season, with limited weekend options throughout other months of the year.

Now, we�ll move on to the less readily apparent options for family fun. Although museums might sound like the dullest destinations around for kids on vacation, Oklahoma City has a few that might appeal to your children. If your child is a fan of cowboys and the old Wild West, consider taking him or her to the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. There you�ll find galleries full of paintings and sculptures depicting Western scenes, as well as antique cowboy equipment and Native American arts. The family can also visit the museum�s turn-of-the-century replica cattle town, complete with a church, school, and train depot.

For a quirkier yet educational museum, Oklahoma City offers the Museum of Osteology. The museum is dedicated to displaying the skeletons of all kinds of vertebrate creatures. Such an unusual and interesting subject is sure to grab the attention of many of the children who walk through the museum�s doors. If you think your kids will enjoy a trip to this fun and educational museum, be sure to swing by while you�re in Oklahoma City because this is the only U.S. museum of its type.

These suggestions are only meant to get you started on planning your family-friendly trip. Oklahoma City has all kinds of other fun and interesting locations that adults and kids are sure to love, with everything from playing in expansive city parks to climbing rock walls at local gyms to tubing on near-by lakes.
