The National Weather Center is pretty cool. I had a tour there and got to see the doppler on wheels, the SPC, and the observation deck on the top floor. They have a cafe inside though we didn't eat there. On a nice day there are a lot of solid outdoor photo ops. I might be a bit biased because I'm a prospective meteorology student at OU, but this place is really nice. Even if you are just a casual visitor and aren't really into meteorology, I would still recommend checking it out as the tour was completely free and wasn't overly technical or scientific.

My friends and I enjoyed the adult only evening at the Museum. They had trivia, a scavenger hunt, food, and painting. It was a fun time, and the 3 hours of the program went by pretty quickly. If any time you see this Museum having another event like this, I recommend you try it, especially if it's for you.
5. Native Spirits Winery

This is a beautiful little jewel in the countryside. Family owned and often a local favorite, Native Spirits has great wine reflective of the central Oklahoma lands. They often have local singer songwriters on the weekends. This can be enjoyable for a couple or even a family with teens. The also have a menu with light foods that pair well with wine. Native Spirits is also a great place to purchase gifts of wine or local coffee or chocolates. You won’t be disappointed and it is a great place for a relaxing evening. You are always greeted by friendly faces and two adorable dogs. ;)

This area is adorable. I felt like I was in the movie, “It’s a Wonderful Life”. Lots of great restaurants and little stores. We tried louie’s AND Backed Bear. Both great. Also bought some OU gear at 2 of the stores. Easy walk from OU campus.

Conveniently located just east of Norman, this is a beautiful day-drive to hang out on hiking trails and around the lake. Wish there were some "destination" restaurants here!
