OKLAHOMA CITY – This year marks a new decade and the Oklahoma City Adventure District is gearing up for it with new upgrades at each of the four outstanding destinations.

The National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum will reopen the popular Native American Gallery this fall with all new materials never seen at the Museum in the past. The reinstallation, which began in June, will have a theme of diversity. “The intent is to show Native people not as a monolithic, singular culture, but as distinct, diverse cultures,” said Mike Leslie, curator for the exhibit. A horse mannequin fully outfitted with a Crow woman’s saddle, blanket and tack will be a treat visitors have not seen on display for more than a dozen years.

ASA National Softball Hall of Fame is upgrading its complex with a new structure that will be located behind the scoreboard of the Stadium Field. It will include a meeting space with public and private restrooms. This space can double as locker rooms for players and umpires as well. A new curb and gutter system will be put in place on fields three and four around the outfield fence. The National Softball Hall of Fame Museum also continues to improve with new carpet, new paint and display cases as well as updated panel displays making the facility a top tourist destination.

The Oklahoma City Zoo opened the Children’s Zoo in March costing $8.3 million. The entire family will love to explore interactive opportunities with Nigerian dwarf goats, Guinea hogs and other unique barnyard animals. Feeding the colorful lorikeets is especially popular and the spider and squirrel monkeys are new to the Zoo. The success of the new exhibit for the OKC Zoo is immense and is just one of the many plans to grow this family-friendly destination. The zoo is constructing a state-of-the-art elephant habitat with scheduled opening in 2011.

Remington Park Horse Racing Casino continues to undergo the most extensive renovations during summer 2010 at an estimated $7 million cost. The latest project focuses on exterior upgrades with new roofing, new paint scheme, new exterior lighting and upgrades to the public announcement system for the racetrack. Since Global Gaming Solutions acquired Remington Park earlier this year, a great deal of effort has gone in to updating the facility. “This renewed effort to return Remington Park back to being a point of pride for all Oklahomans is exciting to be a part of,” Remington Park president and general manager Scott Wells said. “Truthfully, the new ownership group has done more for Remington Park in six months than anyone else has done in 20 years.”

Located at the crossroads of I-35 and I-44 in Oklahoma City, the Adventure District is home to some of the most popular attractions including Oklahoma City Zoo, Remington Park, National Softball Hall of Fame and the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. Oklahoma City’s Adventure District is supported through members and partnerships including the Gaylord-Pickens Oklahoma Heritage Museum and County Line Bar-B-Q.
