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 Stride Bank Center is owned by City of Enid and professionally managed by Spectra Venue Management. The Stride Bank Center is a 5,000 seat arena opened in June 2013. The Arena is home to world-class concerts, athletic events, trade shows, conventions and large banquets. The complex consists of the arena and convention space made up of multiple ballrooms to fit meetings, conferences, weddings and banquets of any size. With in house catering, it makes it easy and convenient to have everything under 1 roof.
For a smaller venue there is not a bad seat in the house. The seats are comfortable and they have brought some great acts in.

This center had all the information I was looking for while visiting! I was greeted by very friendly and helpful staff and got to relax in the spacious room. The gift shop and park movie especially were highlights. Definitely a great first stop if you’re in the area!
