It reminded me of the plastic books we have that dissect the body.
We bought a year membership again thinking the museum would be new and improved. I was really disappointed.. the Gadget Tree house was a glorified swingset that my 10 year old played on for 5 min. Nothing else was really changed.
We spent a fortune for half a day of bland exhibits. Half of the science hands on exhibits didn't even work.
If I could have, I would have gotten a refund for the annual membership. I doubt we'll get a lot of use out of it.
So, that's an example of something I don't recommend.

Karried -
You hit the nail on the head when it comes to "Science Museum Oklahoma" (as if the name change would be make it more appealing!).
For years, I assumed that the reason the exhibits weren't improving was because of all the money they were saving up to build the Omnidome theatre, and once it was completed that the museum would improve rapidly. Not so. The exhibits have remained essentially unchanged since I was a kid visiting it with MY parents. How disappointing.
The sad thing is that we could really USE a good science museum. Kids just aren't as intrigued with this stuff as they used to be, and a building full of 20yo, outdated, half-not-working displays and exhibits sure doesn't help.
My $0.02, but I agree... a very sad disappointment, because I so WANT to enjoy the Omniplex
