With hundreds of man-made lakes, state parks, casinos, museums and nightlife and dining opportunities in revitalized downtown areas in Oklahoma City and Tulsa, there is a lot to see and do in the Sooner State. The state is dotted with phenomenal lakes where swimming, boating and bass fishing are the most desired activities. Some of the state’s most popular lakes include Broken Bow Lake located near the Quachita Mountains; Grand Lake in the northeastern corner of the state at the foothills of the Ozark Mountains and Lake Murray in the hills in the southern part of the state.
While the state is known for its many outdoor activities like great fishing, golf, hiking, canoeing and boating, make sure you don’t overlook its fantastic museums. Heading the list are Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, featuring the world’s largest collection of art and artifacts from the American West; the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, which tells the story of the American Cowboy; and the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, which has a permanent collection of American and European art. A venerable family favorite activity is Frontier City Amusement Park in Oklahoma City, which has dozens of rides and shows.

The camping fun goes year-round in the first temperature-controlled Conestoga wagons in North America. A glamping experience offers wagons sleeping four or six with plush mattresses, comfortable bedding and private bathrooms including showers. For a camping experience, a separate campground offers wagons sleeping eight with direct access to the fishing pond, clean bathrooms and plush mattresses. Guests of the Orr Family Farm can also enjoy Farm activities year-round! When the Farm is open, guests have access to all Farm activities such as ziplining, train rides and more! Even when the Farm is closed, guests will still enjoy playgrounds, yard games, giant jumping pillows, fishing and plenty of other family activities!
This was our first visit, but it is important to understand there are two sides to the Orr Family Farm now. Their core business and focus of fun is the farm itself - with plenty of options for kids of all ages! Their newest offering is an overnight experience, with "glamping" available in their conestoga wagons. We did both - so this is two reviews in one! Orr Family Farm: we arrived later afternoon on a gorgeous Saturday. It was more than evident by how the cars were parked that it had been a BUSY day. By the time we arrived there were cars parked all of the way down by the main street. However, enough people had left for the day that the spots closer to the gate were clear and the crowds had dwindled. While it may offer more energy at peak hours, it was nice not having crowds to deal with! The farm is spacious and offers a ton of different activities - from train rides, to giant pillow bouncing, to zip lining, slides and a playground. Most items are covered in the price of admission, but there are a few activities (zip lining) that require additional $. And of course, concessions and gifts can cost you extra too! The staff is very friendly and happy to ensure your needs are met. Conestoga Wagon Glamping: The newest addition to the Orr Family farm is a slew of historic conestoga wagons that are available for overnight camping/glamping. We reserved one of the luxury ones, with a king size bed and 2 bunk beds inside. It was $200 to rent for the night and check-in was 4 pm. While the Mrs. and kiddo were still playing at the farm, I went up and got us checked in for our wagon. The wagons are super nice - and yes, come with heat and AC! There are also bathrooms located a short walk from the wagon. Each wagon gets their own private bathroom. In addition, there is a hospitality room with coffee/vending machines. Also - they have a 19' Michael Phelps Signature Swim Spa. Each luxury wagon gets 1 hour of private time in the swim spa - you schedule your time at check-in, thus it is sort of first come first serve. The swim spa was a fun experience and broke up the camping experience. Also included in the wagon rental is stuff to make s'mores. The Orr staff comes around 6 pm and gets the camp fire going. From there you are on your own to grill as you desire. Some of the camp brought dinner from nearby restaurants and others did grill. We brought our own hotdog stuff and used the common fire to grill those and our s'mores. Each wagon does also have a charcoal grill if you opt to do a more serious grill session. The farm itself was fun - but glamping in the historic, or should I say hipstoric, wagons really brought it all together! One "secret" benefit of the wagons also is that they leave the back gate of the farm open. Thus, after the farm closes to the public, we still had access to all "un-manned" activities Saturday evening and Sunday morning. Our toddler LOVED having the entire farm to himself Sunday morning when we hit the playground! I would highly recommend a visit to the farm, and even more so would encourage you to do something different and camp/glamp in the wagons for the night. At the site we were, there were 5 luxury wagons - what would be real fun is to get a group and rent all 5 for the night and have your own private camp site!

I spent almost a decade living on Oklahoma in the 1980's, and one of the things I miss most about OK is Braum's Dairy Stores. There is nothing else like them. Unfortunately for us outside of OK, to keep things fresh, the chain does not build stores more than 300 miles from their home base, so I, in South Texas, am now 225 miles from the nearest Braum's in North Texas. If you want to see the factory where they process their delicious milk and make the ice cream and other dairy products (all from their own cows) and you want to see how the fresh breads and cookies are made, you'll love this tour of the factory, outside of the small town of Tuttle, OK (about 45 minutes from OKC). You don't get to milk cows or anything like that (although you can see the cows in the distance and you learn about them)--it's a factory tour, and there are windowed corridors on the upper levels of the building you visit, where you can look down into the factories below (and friendly employees will wave at you) and see whatever they are making that day. The process is explained well as is the unique business model and quality emphasis that makes Braum's what it is. If you are not familiar with Braum's, I don't know if you'd get a lot out of the tour. Maybe you should visit a Braum's store first, and if you feel that it is something special (taste a few of their dairy and bakery products while there), as most Oklahomans do, then by all means visit the factory. If you are from out of state and visiting family in Oklahoma, I'm sure they can fill you in on Braum's and take you to their local store and let you see for yourself. Oh, be sure to make reservations AT LEAST one month in advance as it's a small tour and fills up fast. Also, the lady who you'll talk to on the phone will e-mail you directions to the rural factory--you'll definitely need those directions! I really enjoyed the tour because I really enjoy Braum's stores.
