10 Things to do Adventurous in Oklahoma That You Shouldn't Miss
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.

I visited the museum on a whim, because the name interested me when I searched for attractions to visit in Oklahoma City. It was well worth the time! The museum has an incredible range of skeletons on display--far more than I would have thought could be displayed so well in the building. The collection has been thoughtfully curated to interest and teach visitors. I especially enjoyed that except for the skeletons in the glass cases, visitors are encouraged to touch and handle the bones. I noticed several activity stations for younger children, and look forward to returning with my nephews.

Seasoned escapers - they have a room for you! My husband and I have done lots of escape rooms all over the place so we typically look for the most challenging and immersive experiences. We did the Tides of Treason room first and we absolutely loved it. Definitely challenging but fantastic gadgets and unique tricks and puzzles. Super fun room and not just a bunch of locks either. We were stumped a couple times but made it out with 8 minutes to spare. The theming in that room is so good and there are great surprises. We loved it so much we came out and asked what other room was available on the spot. We did the Conquered Embassy - their other more difficult room. It was still really fun and well themed but Tides won us over for sure!

I've attempted these clue rooms with my family and friends- I can't recommend it enough! This place is beyond fun and each room requires wit and cooperation to solve the surprisingly complex puzzles. Don't let the colorful rooms and playful vibe fool you- many of the clues might go over the heads of younger kids. Regardless, this is a fun and engaging time! Perfect for a family night out or a fun date night. Keep in mind that reservations can hold up to six people!

Last weekend we signed up for the public tour - started at 10:00 and lasted over 90 minutes. It was wonderful! They combine a fun event with lots of great education about Asian Elephants. This month they are also having Pumpkin Patch (we skipped that). We lunched at the Circus Diner and then toured the Showmans Rest at the Mt. Olivet Cemetery. Highly recommend if you love Elephants.
