Things to Do in Warr Acres

While chatting on the phone with a friend, Katrina Uhls had a startling realization: her kids had been playing video games for hours. She discovered that by effectively “unplugging” her kids, she could steer them toward more creative, introspective pastimes.

Now, as the owner of Unpluggits Playstudio, she fosters a safe, welcoming space where all kids can "unplug" and explore their artistic sides. Kids will find shelves stocked with play-doh, stamps, stencils, and other craft supplies. They can don smocks and wield nontoxic paints at miniature easels. Paint’n take projects give them personalized crafts to take home, such as picture frames and piggy banks useful for saving up to buy new toys or a gold-plated piggy bank. For more active playtime pursuits, kids can gambol toward the indoor playground, which features slides, a pirate ship, and air-hockey tables.

As kids explore the 3,000-square-foot studio, parents are welcome to cruise free WiFi or monitor tykes from the snack bar, which serves freshly ground organic coffee, juices, and soda. Special workshops open the space for toddler-specific activities, adults-only craft time, and parents' nights out.

Now celebrating its 11th season with a residency at Civic Center Music Hall, Oklahoma City Repertory Theater continues to perform a diverse selection of new and classic plays. From time-tested farces by Oscar Wilde to swear jar-shattering scripts penned by David Mamet, City Rep’s history is filled with dramas, comedies, and musicals. Each show works to fulfill the company’s mission to "entertain, enlighten, and inspire."

Game Time Inflatables fills its 3,000 square-foot, indoor playground with cushy tunnels, a plush slide, and a castle-themed bounce house, letting kids of all ages literally bounce off the walls. After a long day of caroming through the inflated jungle gym or bounding over plush, pint-sized partitions, tykes and their parents can rest weary legs at the indoor picnic tables.
