Oklahoma Science Museum Named One of Best in the U.S.

Thinking about a move to Oklahoma? Add “world-class science museum” to the pro list. Science Museum Oklahoma was just named one of the top science museums in the country in Newsweek’s 2025 Readers’ Choice Awards — joining the ranks of institutions in cities like Chicago, San Francisco, and New York.

Located in Oklahoma City’s Adventure District, the museum spans over 390,000 square feet and is packed with immersive exhibits, live demonstrations, and hands-on learning opportunities for all ages. Highlights include CurioCity (a children’s museum inside the museum), the awe-inspiring Science Live shows, and the state-of-the-art Love’s Planetarium.

More than just a fun day out, the museum is a symbol of Oklahoma’s investment in education, innovation, and quality of life. For families, educators, or anyone who values access to inspiring public resources, it’s one more reason Oklahoma is earning national attention as a smart place to put down roots.
