Tired of Bricktown? Try These Things to Do in Oklahoma City

When you head into The City, it’s easy to fall into the usual routine. Park in Bricktown, walk the canal, grab some food, call it a day. Now, there's nothing wrong with that, but after a couple trips, you might start to think OKC is boring... because you do the same stuff every time. You have to switch it up once in a while.

Oklahoma City has way more going on than you probably think.

If you’ve got a full day, or even just an afternoon to burn, there are spots tucked all over the city that don’t get the same attention but probably should.

Some of them are quiet, some are a little off the radar, and a few might seem a little, well, odd, but they're way cooler once you’re standing there in person.

That’s kind of the point of this list.

It’s not the usual “top 5 things to do” you’ve seen a hundred times.

Go find something you haven’t already done.

Scroll through the gallery below and see what stands out.
