Seeing the Sights with the RAC
The June calenders are out, make sure you pick one up at the center. We have several trips planned this month. they are Gold River Casino on June 7th, Chickasaw Cultural Center on June 15th, Osteology Museum on June 20th, and The Science Museum of OK on June 29th.
The Gold River Casino is located 2 mile north of Anadarko, OK on HWY 281. Big Rob will be leaving the RAC at 10:00am the cost is $5.oo for the bus ride. The casino does have a resturant in the casino The Cadilac Cafe so make sure to save money for lunch.
The Chickasaw Cultural Center is a place where you can immerse yourself in the culture and ceremonies of the Chickasaw people. The Tour consists of The Council House, an exibit gallery, Spirit Forest, a Traditonal Village, and two Theatres. The Chikasha Inchokka’ Traditional Village, a historically accurate village, takes you back in time to native Chickasaw communities; it includes many of the structures central to daily life—the council house, two summer houses, two winter houses, a corn crib, ceremonial mound and traditional stockade fence. The Spirit Forest, at 2,500 square feet, is the largest exhibit within the Chickasaw Cultural Center. The forest is alive with more than 170 lights and 60 sensory effects. Like being in a real forest, the theatrical lighting and soundscape passes from day to night in 20 minutes. Visitors journey from sunset colors into night, and the forest comes alive with wildlife sounds as the stars light up above the forest canopy. The Exhibit Gallery showcases the tools, papers, pottery, clothes and jewelry of the Chickasaw people; the winding trail of exhibits is arranged on a timeline from past to present. The gallery also has five spirit lesson stations and Language Learning Stations. The Bus departs the RAC at 9:00am and the cost is $20.oo for bus ride and admission fees.
The Museum of Osteology, located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, is a unique educational experience. Focusing on the form and function of the skeletal system, this 7000 square ft. museum displays hundreds of skulls and skeletons from all corners of the world. Exhibits include adaptation, locomotion, classification and diversity of the vertebrate kingdom. The Museum of Osteology is "America's only skeleton museum". Big Rob Departs the RAC at 1:30pm and the cost is $10.oo for buse ride and admission.
Science Museum Oklahoma, formerly called the Omniplex, is one of OKC's premiere educational entertainment attractions. With exhibits, a planetarium, a state-of-the-art theater, galleries and more, Science Museum Oklahoma offers a rare opportunity to experience amazing and interactive education Interactive exhibits and unique displays make the museum a truly amazing educational experience.
