| What To Do In Oklahoma City In October |
Ghouls, Get Your Glitter On: Spooky Fun for All Ages
Haunt the River: Ahoy, mateys! Set sail on a hauntingly good time aboard the Oklahoma River Cruises' annual "Haunt the River." This eerie excursion features creepy cocktails, spooky snacks, and a killer (in a good way) atmosphere. Just remember, the only costumes that won't float here are the boring ones!
Bricktown Brawl (of Frights!) Bricktown comes alive (or should we say undead?) in October. This entertainment district transforms into a monster mash of costume contests, haunted pubs, and spooky street performers. Just be sure to watch out for rogue zombies trying to steal your funnel cake!
Not-So-Scary Sights: For the faint of fright (or those with tiny terrors in tow), there's plenty of not-so-spooky fun to be had. The Myriad Botanical Gardens host a pumpkin festival with trick-or-treating and family-friendly activities. And don't forget about the pumpkin patches scattered around the city, perfect for capturing those Insta-worthy autumn snaps.
Beyond the Boo Crew: Must-See Sights and Delights
Fall Festivals and Foodie Fun: Oklahoma knows how to throw a party, and October is no exception. Catch the tail end of the Oklahoma State Fair (if you're lucky!), or head to the Red Earth FallFest Parade & Powwow for a vibrant celebration of Native American culture. And no trip to OKC would be complete without indulging in some serious comfort food. Chicken-fried steak, anyone?
History Buffs and Art Aficionados Rejoice!: October is a fantastic time to explore OKC's rich history and art scene. The Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum offers a poignant and powerful look at the city's resilience. For a dose of Western wonder, mosey on over to the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. And for contemporary cool, check out the Oklahoma City Museum of Art.
Outdoor Enthusiasts, Assemble!: Fall is a glorious time to explore Oklahoma City's green spaces. The Oklahoma City Zoo is a fantastic place to see creatures great and small (just maybe avoid the bats on Halloween night). And for a peaceful paddle, take a kayak trip down the Oklahoma River and soak up the vibrant fall foliage.
Remember, these are just a few ideas to get your spooky season started! With its blend of chills, thrills, and down-home charm, Oklahoma City promises an October adventure you won't forget.
