What to do and see in Oklahoma, United States: The Best Neighborhoods

April 4, 2022 Renato Branum

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 loved the three band benefit concert held December 19, 2020 for CASA. It was three bands: Severmind, DreK and All Is Fair. I truely enjoyed the music, was so happy to bring an unwrapped child's toy to supplement my ticket purchase. The toyes were donated to CASA. Plenty of space to socail distance at tables, bartender was great, and security was awesome!!! Haven't been to a live concert in many many years...enjoyed it.

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.
