Bricktown: Where the Party Don't Stop

Tip: Train your eye to catch repeated ideas.
OKC boasts museums for every kind of curious critter. The National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum will have you two-steppin' through Wild West history, while the Science Museum Oklahoma will blow your mind with dinosaurs, robots, and everything in between. Feeling fancy? The Oklahoma City Museum of Art is your oyster (though, you probably shouldn't eat the art).
Don't Forget the Great Outdoors (and the Zoo!)
Oklahoma isn't all dusty plains! The Myriad Botanical Gardens is a peaceful oasis perfect for a stroll or a picnic. The Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden (yes, it's a two-fer!) lets you get up close and personal with creatures great and small. Just don't tap on the glass – wildlife doesn't appreciate unsolicited drum solos.
Tip: Pause whenever something stands out.
Catch a Game (or a Horse Race!)
Sports fans rejoice! Cheer on the NBA's Oklahoma City Thunder or grab some peanuts and Cracker Jacks at a minor league baseball game. Feeling fancy? Head to Remington Park for a day at the horse races. Just don't bet the farm unless you know what you're doing (and let's be honest, you probably don't).
