Well, well! Today I’m holding my first and completely unexpected giveaway. And it’s great. Some of my favorite childhood memories were made inside the hallowed halls of the Omniplex (in my heart it shall remain The Omniplex). That great earthquake simulator, the mirror maze, and the plastic tunnel maze thing that make me realize that I was claustrophobic. Gah.
So here’s the deal. I’m giving away a September 2009-August 2010 Science Museum Oklahoma calendar. It’s full of fun science facts, Oklahoma events for children and families, monthly science projects, and all kinds of cool stuff. All you have to do to enter to win is:
- If you’re an Okie, please comment with an Omniplex memory.
- If you’re not, leave a comment about your local science or children’s museum.
- For a bonus entry, tweet about the giveaway and comment with a link to your tweet. (One tweet per day)
I’ll be closing the contest on Sunday, November 1 at 12:00AM CST so I can get this thing out to you and so you don’t lose any more time out of the calendar than you have to. I don’t know why we just got these things today.
Winner will be chosen using Random.org and your comment number(s).
I received this calendar for free and am receiving no reimbursement.

Uhm. My biggest memory of the Omniplex? It was really loud and made my head hurt. But that was as an adult but my kids always liked it.
My first experience would have to be climbing into the sugar molecule and going halfway up and not figuring out how to get down – I was 5 who would know how to accomplish that?
I, as a lifelong Okie, have NEVER been to the Omniplex!! Our school never got to go since back in the days of my childhood it took over 4 hours to get to The City. My sister is moving to Yukon soon, so I hope that means we’ll get down that direction and finally get to go!
My son is a science freak so the calendar would be great to have! Thanks for offering such a neat giveaway!
I’m not sure how many times we took our children (3 of them) during their schooling years. We homeschooled so the Omniplex was an incredible resource. However, since we had a 90 minute drive, it wasn’t an easy accessible resource. Our kids LOVED the omniplex. The planetarium, the dinosaur exhibit, the weather station, the trains, the pre-school play station, the static ball are just a few of the awesome displays I remember and it has been at least 7 years since I’ve been there; probably closer to 10 years. Yikes where as the time gone!
My earliest memories of the Omniplex were of the Earthquake Room. I remember my Dad taking me. I was a little scared, but I liked it. As a teenager, the shadow room and the mirror maze were my favorites. It’s neat to see what they have added these days, with the new tree fort, the OmniDome, Space Exploration, etc. Yet, many of the old exhibits remain for reminiscing. We bought a membership this year, so we can take our girls back and enjoy the Omniplex again and again!
