Things To Do In Oklahoma City, OK
Oklahoma City, abbreviated OKC, is a thriving metropolis with a pioneer spirit. It has all the big-city facilities you'd expect from a state capital, such as great dining, interesting museums, and top-notch performing arts, but you can also readily immerse yourself in the city's Old West legacy through its numerous cowboy-themed restaurants, stores, and activities.
Things to Do: The Museum of Osteology, which includes over 300 human and animal skeletons, is one of Oklahoma City's most popular and strange museums. The American Pigeon Museum and the Oklahoma State Firefighters Museum are two more unusual yet fascinating museums. The permanent and rotating shows at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art and the Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center are popular among art enthusiasts. Visit the Gaylord-Pickens Museum's Oklahoma Hall of Fame to learn about prominent Oklahomans such as singers Reba McEntire and Blake Shelton. Spend a day exploring OKC's Western legacy and pioneer beginnings at the American Banjo Museum, the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, or the Land Run Monument. Look down on this landlocked city from the 24-meter-high SandRidge Sky Trail, or take a water taxi tour of the Bricktown Entertainment District on the Bricktown Canal. Then get off the boat and go to the Paseo Arts District, which has 22 art galleries, or see a performance by the Oklahoma City Ballet. Attractions such as the OKC Zoo, Science Museum Oklahoma, and the 213-meter zip line across the Oklahoma River can keep kids entertained for hours.
