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.

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.

A federally managed praire covering more than 59,000 acres.
I have been here too many times to count and I can honestly say I am amazed every time we come. Perfect day trip and it's FREE!!! From the wildlife to the wonderful lakes and hikes, to camping, fishing and the visitor center, there are so many things to see and do. I encourage everyone to support this amazing place. The fact that they also support endangered species is a + for me.
