The science museum there is good.  They're playing "Legends of Flight" at in their IMAX theater as well right now.

Don't know about air museums but you may want to go downtown to the Murrah building bombing memorial, there is a small museum there too.

I didn't go to the museum part but they have an exhibit where you can listen to recorded hearing where the blast is heard in the background.

I'll second the Murrah museum. It may be small compared to others but it has a lot of items and info.

there is a space/air museum, over near Lincoln blvd. Can't remember the exact name. I believe they have a simulator there as well you can get into.   The 45th Inf Museum has some great stuff, including some Hitler items including a Bust with a round through it. The bombing memorial is great, been through it about 7 times so far. If you get time the Western Heritage museum is great as well.
Yea, simply because I can
