One of the most profound and pivotol events that happened to both our nation but most acutely Oklahoma and OKC specifically was the 1995 bombing of the federal building. This museum is one of the most well thought out, intentional, and meaningful memorial museums in the country that captures the impact of tragedy and resilience within a community. We highly recommend at least walking through the national park and the museum is well worth the visit!
This pizza kitchen is one of the best pizza places you will find - nothing fails on this menu whether it's their unique pizzas or other food options. This place is one of our favorites as we lived just down the street for a few years.
If you love waffles, Waffle Champ is your place. It is another one of our favorite places for breakfast with a unique concept and all the waffles you could want.
If you are visiting where western/frontier culture began, visiting this museum is a great idea. Very kid friendly with lots of play areas and fun things for them to do. The history demonstrated throughout the entire museum is pretty incredible and does not shy away from all the positive and dark areas of the expansion of western frontier and the cultural history behind a state like ours.
Scissortail Park is an incredibly expansive park in OKC with so much space for kids to run around. There is a water park area for kids to play in, playground structures, tennis/pickelball courts, basketball courts, etc. There is usually a farmer's market going Friday mornings. It is also right across the street from where the OKC Thunder play.
The Myriad Gardens are beautiful and located right next to Scissortail Park. The gardens are a beautiful place to walk around with so much beauty to see and play structures for kids to mess around on.
The Plaza District has lots of great food options and little boutique stores! Keep in mind we will be having pizza at the reception from Empire Slice located in the plaza, so if you want to try something different then keep that in mind.
The Paseo district is a fun artsy area with some good food and art stores!
