Answer 1

Visit the "National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum", 1700 NE 63rd, [phone]. If you haven't been to this outstanding museum in a while, you're definitely due for another visit. Having tripled in size over the past seven years and experienced a name change (was formerly known as the "National Cowboy Hall of Fame"), this sprawling complex features several major exhibition galleries, a life-size western town, large-scale sculptures and works of art, landscaped gardens, a fabulous gift shop and restaurant. Every Memorial Day weekend, the museum hosts the Chuck Wagon Gathering & Children's Cowboy Festival, a fun-filled family event featuring cowboy fare, entertainment and activities. Adults $8.50, Children (6-12) $4, Children 5 and under FREE. Hours: 9am-5pm daily.
