Bill's Oklahoma City Tour


RIVERSPORT Rapids, Oklahoma City’s new $45.2 million whitewater rafting and kayaking center just opened in early May.  The Road to Rio continued in Oklahoma City at the newly constructed RIVERSPORT Rapids whitewater rafting & kayaking center on May 7-8, 2016. The best whitewater slalom athletes in the nation  positioned themselves for a spot on the 2016 U.S. Olympic Team.
The Boathouse District is located adjacent to downtown Oklahoma City and the Bricktown entertainment district.

The Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark is located in the vibrant Bricktown District immediately east of downtown Oklahoma City. 

At the center is statue of Johnny Bench, baseball Hall of Fame catcher.....

Catch a carriage ride from Bricktown Ballpark...


One of the Oklahoma City's most notable destinations, the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum stands as a celebrated example of a living monument to honor those who were killed, those who survived and those changed forever by the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building.


The Outdoor Symbolic Memorial includes the Field of Empty Chairs with each chair honoring one of the 168 people who were killed, which you can see on the left in the distance.

Construction is underway on 21c Museum Hotels’ redevelopment of downtown Oklahoma City’s historic Ford Motor Company Assembly Plant. The nearly 100-year-old, four story brick building was built by Henry Ford as a Model T assembly plant. 
The Oklahoma City Ford Motor Company Assembly Plant , a four-story brick structure in downtown Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Opened in 1916 by the Ford Motor Company as a Model T manufacturing facility, it was one of 24 such plants built by Ford between 1910 and 1915.
