Fun & Leisure in and near Oklahoma City, OK

Zoos, concerts, culture—Oklahoma City activities offer something for everyone. Visitors to the Oklahoma City Zoo get up close and personal with the zoo’s more than 1,900 exotic residents; they can also meet and feed giraffes, touch stingrays, and pet slightly more cuddly animals at the Children’s Zoo Barnyard. Check out the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, where you can’t miss the stunning 55-foot glass sculpture by Dale Chihuly that anchors the museum’s atrium. Concerts in Oklahoma City are another draw for both locals and tourists alike, from the big-name acts at Chesapeake Energy Arena to the more intimate Diamond Ballroom venue. And during the summer months, enjoy free live music with a view—just bring a blanket to the Myriad Botanical Gardens during the Sunday Twilight Concert Series.
