Location
Visitor tip
Arrive early to the FAMily Discovery Center since it closes at 4 p.m. daily and requires timed entry. Plan to visit this hands-on area first if traveling with children, as it fills up and you don't want to miss it.
Visitor tip
Don't skip the FAM Mound interpretive walk—it offers a great view of downtown Oklahoma City from the top and provides outdoor context to the indoor exhibits.
Visitor tip
Consider the museum's educational value for school-age children through their FAMcamps summer program (ages 6-12) or community events, which may provide better engagement than the general admission experience alone.

What visitors say
Not worth $20 a person. Barely anything in there and mostly just reading information and or listening. Science museum and natural history museum in Norman is much better and doesn’t cost as much to get in. Don’t waste your hard earned…
Nice new facility! Very educational and be ready to spend some time. There’s so much to learn. We enjoyed our time there, but I would have liked to see some older worn pieces from way back in time. Very easy to get to off I-40…
We really went to let the kids experience the area for children. It is definitely not worth the price just for that. Full transparency, we did not have time to tour the museum. The mound walk was nice with a great view of downtown OKC…
