THINGS TO DO IN OKC
Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum
The Oklahoma City Memorial is a beautiful site nestled in the heart of Downtown OKC. You can take a tour of the museum to learn about the events surrounding April 19, 1995, or take a walk in the beautiful garden with the reflection pool & chairs that honor those we lost that day. This national landmark is a must see when visiting Oklahoma City. We will never forget April 19th.

Chisholm Creek
Chisholm Creek is a brand new, mixed-use development in OKC filled with restaurants, indoor skydiving, Main Event, Top Golf, shopping & more!
Bleu Garten
Bleu Garten is OKC's very own food truck & beer garden located in Midtown just near Automobile Alley. This is a great spot to grab local food & drink, catch a game on one of the many TV screens or play yard games!
Plaza District
OKC's hippest section of town! The Plaza District is home to bright, vibrant wall murals, local bars & restaurants, local shopping & more! A great area for breakfast, lunch, drinks & dinner! I highly recommend the macaroni pony sandwich at The Mule, pizza at Empire Slice, ice cream at Roxy's, brunch at Aurora, drinks at The Pritchard or Anatomy Wine Club, & checking out the local shops along the way!
Midtown
Midtown OKC is known for its historic preservation and features shopping, restaurants, bars, yard games, coffee shops, bowling, icecream, bookstores & more. I highly recommend Hall's pizza, Capitol ice cream, BARRIO's for Mexican good & great drinks, Dustbowl for bowling & a night cap at R&J's Lounge.
Automobile Alley
A downtown OKC historic district and vibrant neighborhood full of art, local shopping, dining, coffee, commerce, and creativity. Check out Shop Good, Sara Kate Studios & Plenty Mercantile for shopping. I highly recommend Iguana Grill for TexMex, S&B's Burgers, Coffee Slingers, & HATCH for brunch! This area of town will be buzzing our wedding weekend due to the Memorial Run so definitely check it out!
The Jones Assembly
This place is insanely cool! I Highly recommend checking out their patio for food & drinks!

Whatever you do, go here for happy hour or drinks. You will not be disappointed!
Café Evoke
Abby's favorite coffee shop in all of OKC!
Barrios Fine Mexican Dishes
Cool vibes. Pretty drinks. Yummy Food. Killer patio. You can't go wrong here!
The Hall's Pizza Kitchen
Local, wood-fired pizza. Rooftop patio. Views of downtown OKC. This spot is SO CUTE & the pizza is delicious!
Braum's Ice Cream & Burger Restaurant
They say you don't know what you got til it's gone, so you can imagine the devastation I experienced when I moved to Tennessee & realized Braum's wasn't everywhere. This is the best burger & shake you'll find in town. Yeah, I said it!
Ted's Cafe Escondido
Trust me when I say that you haven't had Mexican food until you've had Ted's! Free queso, chips, salsa & tortillas...what more could you want?!
Pops Arcadia
Take a drive outside of the city, into the countryside of Arcadia, OK and visit the largest selection of soda you can imagine! This is one of my favorite places to take people & it's nestled on the ole ROUTE 66. There is a location inside the city as well!
Wheeler District Ferris Wheel
Take a ride on OKC's very own ferris wheel just south of the river while enjoying the views of downtown. The Wheeler District is an up & coming home & restaurant development.
Kitchen No. 324
Go here for brunch. You will not regret it!
