Downtown
One of my favorite parks in OKC. This is located downtown and has great trails and nature. Try out SPARK for lunch located right next to the park.
Scissortail Park
Lake Hefner has some fantastic paved trails and great sunsets. Def go to Louie’s or one of those other restaurants near that area and eat during sunset. It is beautiful! My husband and I go and skate regularly. They also have a skate park. Check out ...
Lake Hefner in OKC | Waterfront Dining, Trails & Sunsets
So much fun!! I’m not a huge water sport person but this place is fun!! The Olympic trials are going to be held here. So many fun activities for the family.
Riversport OKC
Skip the Bricktown boat ride and do one of these Oklahoma River Cruises! Bricktown is lowkey terrifying after 8pm and not worth it in my opinion.
Oklahoma River Cruises
This place is a little scary at first tbh but it’s quite safe. If you want some retail therapy I highly recommend going here. Everything is so cheap. $0.99 per pound for clothes.
Goodwill Outlet Store
This place is a little overhyped but i highly recommend going during the day at lunch. The buffet is decent and the views are incredible.
Vast
A beautiful museum and memorial for such a tragic day. During the day and at night this place is beautiful. The surrounding area on 5th street by the bus stop is a little sketch (trust me, I used to live there lol) but on Broadway it’s nice.
Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum
If you’re looking for someone to do professional photos I highly recommend you have them take them here. The lighting is fantastic and inside is beautiful. They do such a nice job on the horticulture and they even have a lovely children’s garden.
Myriad Botanical Gardens
Ride the street car! It’s so much fun just to take the street car around OKC and explore. How many buffalo/bison can you find around the city?
OKC Streetcar Schedule: Discover Routes & Stops
Go see a play, musical, ballet, etc here! The venue is beautiful. My high school prom was hosted here.
Civic Center Music Hall
I absolutely love this place. Their improv shows are always a hit. They also have other events here.
OKC Improv
Adventure District
Ever since having our daughter we go to the zoo at least once a month, sometimes 4-5 times a month when the weather is nice. We have a 2 person membership (kids under 2 are free) for the year and currently it is $99. What a steal! We love just gettin...
Oklahoma City Zoo
North OKC
This is one of the only amusement parks in OKC and it’s not bad. I used to go here all the time when I was a kid with my friends and family. They also have a water park area that is fun! I used to work here too and received free tickets to the park a...
