You say you've done Disneyworld You're sick of Six Flags over Texas? Well maybe it is time to try Oklahoma City' free-enterprise amusement park, the $15 million center shows visitors how capitalism works -- through an array of high-tech exhibits ranging from computer games and laser disks to "singing-talking" dollar bills.

There you can follow three lovable space creatures -- Bubbin, Zazzie, and Quonk -- as they search for success in business. Or you can frolic in the Economics Arcade, playing computer games about drilling for oil, or operating a lemonade stand, or whatever. Then finish off the day in a turn-of-the-century doughnut shop, where you can hear a lesson in supply and demand provided by animated doughnut-making machinery.

Enterprise Square, USA is located on the campus of Oklahoma Christian College, which conceived and developed the project. Admission is $3.50 for adults, $2.50 for high school students -- payable in real money.
