In the 14 mons that we have worked with this business, we have saved money on flooring, new bathroom vanity and fixtures, van rental, household appliances, wood working tools, hotel booking and a cruise. The customer service has been excellent! We are so very glad to be able to utilize this business. It has been well worth our initial joining fee investment. We highly recommend people look into it.

I must say that I was a bit skeptical about this at first and thought I would live to regret joining this club. My experience has proved me wrong! I told Matt that I wanted to replace windows in my house. I couldn't believe the service he gave me! You would have thought the windows were going in his house! We discussed my needs and with his extensive knowledge he suggested I go with whole new windows, not just replace the glass. He found a fantastic installer in my area, (that in itself was a job as most installers want the mark up for purchasing the windows), he ordered the windows and coordinated with the installer, set the date and I simply cannot say how pleased I am with the job. Because of where I live finding a good installer delayed the process but Matt wouldn't have me go with just anyone. Then he absorbed some of the cost and no, I hadn't requested that. He just wanted to make sure I was happy. I ordered an appliance package with Lynda's help and saved over $800.00! I have also used the travel service and that was so easy, and yes, saved money there too! I honestly don't know how they can provide such fantastic customer service, never hesitating to call me directly within minutes of receiving an email from me. I will need new tires for my car soon and absolutely plan to purchase thru them.

I had the oppurtunity to have Noelge' dry wall & painting do some work in my basement bedroom. Garry is friendly and personable person. he doe s fantastic work and even breaks out in song once in a while. I will recommend him to anyone needing dry wall or painting done. Remember the name, " Noelge' Dry Wall & Painting"

Had our detached garage and the columns and trim on our home painted. Price was the best. Work was completed right away in the 2 days I was promised. Prep was awesome. We are delighted with the results.

I love using Professional Travel Center to book all of our travel! We have booked 7 cruises through this company and they have saved us thousands while doing so. They also handle the full booking of the cruises, so it's a very easy process. Professional Travel Center also has very competitive rates for rentals cars, even during the holidays and high travel times. Anytime we book a rental car we contact Professional Travel Center for the best rates and they never fail to get us a great rate! Highly recommended especially for travel!

Fantastic company for travel plans, cruises, furniture, appliances and home improvement/remodeling projects! We have used our membership for all of these amenities with great customer satisfaction. Our membership has provided us with a very considerable amount of savings by enabling us to purchase items directly from the distributor at wholesale prices. The customer service is outstanding! We highly recommend Professional Travel!

We just joined a few weeks ago and were pleasantly surprised with the service and results of our first travel request. We had already booked a cruise and the travel agent was able to help us transfer it to the Professional Travel Center. That transfer resulted in a reduction of about 30% in the cost of our trip. It was really easy.

Matt Williams and assistant Lynda were extremely helpful, courteous and responsive. They made suggestions, connected us with local representatives and craftsmen and arranged for meetings with them. The product pricing was much better than we were able to get on our own. We saved about $1000 for the entire job which included counter tops, new sink, new faucet and total installation including a plumber to reconnect the water, dishwasher and garbage disposal.

I found the Bosch 800 series we wanted and a price. Submitted that price for a quote and was happy to know that all we had been told at the presentation was true. We saved over $500. We purchased an upscale 1HP. Insinkerator for a Christmas gift for my son's family. We saved 32%. Our daughter was taking a trip to Africa and the rooms were quite expensive. Buy using my membership she was able to save a little more than one (1) night stay. We own a condo at the lake and will in the near future need an Air Conditioning system and a hot water heater, both being about 12 years old. We anticipate a $2,500 savings on the Trane I had quoted in the last six (6) months. We will be buying a Tempur-Pedic king size mattress within the next couple of months. Our experience with Matt, Lynda and Sunshine has been best in class customer service. Quick responses on pricing and complete follow-up during and after the purchase. We took a risk in buying our membership. That risk is paying huge dividends now and we look forward to future purchases.

My 20 year old Rheem hot water heater was replaced with a new unit from the same company since old heater lasted so long. i was pleased that he whole process went quickly and smoothly, from the time I sent in the order to installation. Karl from Personal Touch Plumbing delivered and installed the unit very efficiently. He left the house clean and removed the old heater. I realized a savings of about 40%, mostly on installation costs compared to the price from a local supplier. In the near future we plan to replace our refrigerator and the furnace and air conditioner.

My wife and I ordered Shaw engineered wood flooring for our living room and dining room also vinyl for the kitchen. We gave Matt a copy of an estimate we were given by a company for the materials and labor and were pleasantly amazed that he was able to save us over $800.00 for that job. Mark the guy who actually did the work is indeed an expert at his craft, absolutely the right person for the job. We are both very pleased not only with the finished product but with the personal service provided. Linda and Matt were very diligent, patient and showed true concern for our satisfaction. Oh, and Rob did an outstanding job booking us Hotel reservations in three different cities across the country as we visited family during Thanksgiving. Furniture is next on our list of needs so we will be in calling soon. Thanks for everything, Larry and Audrey

I contacted PTC to plan a vacation to an all exclusive resort in Cabo San Lucos in Dec 2016. Within one day I was provided with a firm quote for the vacation including preferred air flights. The customer service was excellent. The vacation pricing was within $20 of the quoted price and reflected a savings of $800 on an $9200 package. I will continue to use PTC for all my travel needs. I am planning a cruise in Jan 2017.

Product: Alaska Cruise; Customer Service: extremely satisfied; Pricing: extremely satisfied; Savings: $1000; What's next: not sure yet.

Our Home Improvement department has a great experience to share from Yvonne S. They had a kitchen countertop fabrication installed by a local contractor in Colorado Springs, Alexander's Stone, and saved over 20% compared to their local competitor. We're glad you chose Professional Travel Center for your home improvement needs!

Yvonne S. - Home Improvement Savings

We saved approximately 45% over our best local quote for Air conditioning and heating unit replacement. We have done several major improvements in the past: Roof, AC, concrete, tile, carpeting, etc. can't beat the price and service.

Keith & Carol A.

I co-own a beach house in Mexico and we just installed solar panels on the house. We ordered everything for the solar installation through the Professional Travel Center. Our order had many components and was very complicated but the Professional Travel Center handled everything wonderfully! Matt specifically was thorough and very detail oriented. He made our very complicated order seamless. We ended up saving several thousand dollars on this project by ordering all the components through the Professional Travel Center ! I would do it again most definitely.

Professional Travel Center continues to deliver outstanding service at remarkable prices. PTC just completed working with me to install hardwood floors throughout the 1st story of my home. They were extremely patient and helpful as I selected the wood, providing types and manufacturers to consider. Once selected they worked directly with the manufacturer to negotiate a price none of the local flooring chains could come close to meeting. Additionally they brought in a crew that was outstanding to work with. They took their time and effort before installing the floor to ensure they were very clear on how I wanted it laid. Their attention to detail during the install surpassed mine, which is extremely hard to do. My wife and I were extreme satisfied with entire process. Professional Travel Center's project division continues to deliver a 5 star rating on price, service, and the quality of the finished product. Matt as always was amazing to work with.

I recently replaced my homes 12-year-old air conditioning system. I must have gotten quotes from twenty different local contractors. Since this is a big-ticket item, I became knowledgeable in the marketplace: name brand or an also-ran; heat pump or straight **; single speed fan or variable; etc. I was surprised about the lack of knowledge exhibited by some of the local contractors. Also, it was clear which of them were paid a commission, or got a bonus for getting me to sign the deal on the spot. Few got back to me when I asked questions, or for an alternate configuration! I settled on a 4-ton, Trane brand heat pump. I sent my estimate to the Professional Travel Center for a quote... He (was) very knowledgeable, and suggested I switch to a similar, but less expensive Trane model due to his experience servicing these particular units.  (The) quote was over three thousand dollars less than the best I had received from locals . After we scheduled an installation date; he would text me for information about the physical site. He wanted to ensure that this installation would be successful, e.g., the new equipment would fit in the openings; he'd have all the needed parts on-hand, etc. He and a helper arrived when they were supposed to, and got right to work. From the onset, it was clear that hey knew what they were doing. Unlike other ** installers, his attitude was not Get it done, but Get it done right!, e.g., when he found that my mold-defeating UV lamps were no longer functioning and the transformers had burned out, not only did he obtain a replacement unit, but he cleaned the mold from the duct work on either side of the new air handler. They did a professional job. I got a new heat pump system at a great price; it was installed by people who not only knew what they were doing, but were conscientious as well.

Things to Do in Oklahoma City for the Best Long Weekend

Oklahoma City is an excellent option for a weekend getaway. While it’s pretty large if you’re talking about surface level alone, most of the top things to do in Oklahoma City are within a short drive of one another. 

Is Oklahoma City worth visiting? Oklahoma City is worth visiting for its cultural offerings, diverse food scene, and plenty of attractions to keep any traveler busy for a full long weekend away.

We were lucky enough to have a full month in Oklahoma to get more than a surface-level look at a state that’s technically southern but also feels a little…Midwestern, maybe? I’m honestly not sure.

In any case, I very much enjoyed Oklahoma City, from its generous number of impressive museums to its yummy food scene to its quirky side. Let’s dive into all of the must-do things in Oklahoma City for the perfect weekend.

How do I spend a weekend in Oklahoma City?

You can spend a weekend in Oklahoma City seeing OKC attractions like the First Americans Museum, the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum, and Oklahoma City’s Adventure District. You can also spend a weekend with Oklahoma City’s quirkier side, visiting unique things to do in OKC like the American Banjo Museum, the Plaza Walls, and the Factory Obscura: Mix-Tape.

Let’s dive into all of that and more with my favorite things to do in Oklahoma City.

Things to Do in Oklahoma City: Day 1

I assume you’ll get in on a Friday. If you’re traveling to OKC mid-week, check on hours of operation for any eatery and attraction before picking fights with me online.

Otherwise, pick up this Oklahoma City weekend getaway itinerary at whatever time works for you. If you’re here on a long weekend, you’ll have a full three days’ worth of Oklahoma City activities to choose from on your OKC weekend. If you only have two days, prioritize as you see fit.

You’ll just need to plan a return trip to Oklahoma City!

For a visual of everything you’ll see here, check out my Google map below of everything I’ll highlight here:

GIMME MY OKLAHOMA CITY MAP!

Stop 1: oklahoma city coffee.

A little caffeine is typically what I’m after upon arrival in a new place, especially if I’m prepping for a full weekend of the best things to do in Oklahoma City. Try these spots to fuel up the start of the day. I’ll include a few that offer a nosh, too, in case you want to eat a little something before you head out.

• Landing Coffee Co. : This female-owned shop in Bricktown started as a mobile espresso bar. Today, it’s a popular stop for drip coffee, cold brews, and the expected espresso. Find it in the lobby of The Bridge, a local church.
• Stitch Cafe : This is the cafe for plant people. Their warehouse space in West Village is full of live plants. If you’re here for the eats, they’re known for their sweet and savory tarts, a combo riff on Hot Pockets and Pop-Tarts.
• Zero Tolerance Coffee and Chocolate : There are two locations for this coffee and artisanal chocolate shop in historic Britton. The name is a nod to their emphasis on fair trade products for their beans and their sweets.

Stop 2: Oklahoma City’s Adventure District

You could spend a full day in this part of town alone, especially if you’re looking for things to do in Oklahoma City with kids. I’ll start with our own highlights, then give you the rest. Choose one or two of these stops to fill up the bulk of your afternoon.

Note: If you’re traveling with a golfer, Brian recommends the Lincoln Park golf courses in this part of town as his top golf pick in Oklahoma City. No, we don’t do everything together, especially when there’s an opportunity to hit the greens on a pair of championship courses. 

Option 1: The American Pigeon Museum & Library

I know this doesn’t seem like something you need to prioritize on your first day in Oklahoma City, but I’m placing it here because of their limited hours. The American Pigeon Museum & Library is only open Friday and Saturday afternoons, so I’m going for maximum efficiency here.

It’s also one of the best free things to do in OKC, is super quirky, and won’t require much of your time. 

This place is exactly how it sounds: a museum dedicated to the efforts of pigeons to take over the world. I’m overstating that a bit, but you’ll go deep into the history of carrier pigeons, birds used on missions in several different world wars, and the different varieties of pigeons.

Seriously, you need to learn about fancy pigeons, and this is the best place to do it. 

Don’t leave without seeing the pigeons in coops at the back of the building. Lady Gaga would be disappointed. 

Note: I was happy to find out that the fancy live pigeons don’t live on the premises. They just hang out for educational purposes during the limited operating hours of this place. 

Option 2: National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum

I wasn’t sure what to expect out of this one as cowboy culture can be hit or miss for me, but I was definitely pleasantly surprised. They had a space dedicated to The Oregon Trail video game for Pete’s sake.  If you relate to my excitement on that, prioritize this one on your list of what to do in OKC.

Learn more about both fictional and real depictions of cowboys in pop culture. See a collection of artifacts from local Native American tribes. Marvel at art that celebrates the beauty and struggle of life in these parts. The space is huge, so expect to spend a few hours at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum . 

Allow more time if Western culture is a big thing for you, as there are exhibits upon exhibits on everything from horse saddles to cowboy-themed board games to John Wayne.

Didn’t like the sound of either of those? There are quite a few more adventures to choose from in the Adventure District. I heard the zoo in particular is a great time, especially if you’re looking for things to do in Oklahoma City for families. The military-themed museum also looked quite impressive from what I could see from the road. 

Here they are in no particular order:

• The Oklahoma City Zoo & Botanical Garden
• Science Museum Oklahoma
• 45th Infantry Division Museum
• Oklahoma State Firefighters Museum
• USA Softball Hall of Fame Complex and Museum
• Remington Park: Racing & Casino

Stop 3: Late Lunch

You’ve likely worked up an appetite with your adventuring. It’s a good thing Oklahoma City has plenty to satiate you with, starting with some of the best pizzas we had in the state of Oklahoma.

I’m talking about Pizzeria Gusto , a yummy Neapolitan-style pizza joint that serves up pies with just the right amount of char. We went sweet and salty with their cherry tomato pizza and their pancetta, an argula, garlic, and fig concoction that worked , friends. 

To make our salty option even saltier, I allowed Brian to add anchovies to the whole darn thing. Those hairy little fishies are fine, but still not sure they belong on pizza. He ate it up, quite literally. Their pizzas are 10-inch sizes that are large enough to share if you want a starter. 

If you’re not feeling pizza for whatever reason, here are a few more lunch spots nearby:

• Cheever’s Cafe : This popular brunch spot serves up a variety of indulgent lunch plates, but brunch is something you can enjoy all day. Choose from fried chicken and waffles or their cauliflower bread pudding. There are no wrong answers.
• Guyutes : This street food shop is named after a Phish song, so you better believe they’re popular for late-night snacks. Lunch here isn’t any less yummy. Choose from a lengthy menu of sliders, tacos, wraps, or brunch-style items on the weekend.
• Old School Bagel : Their New York City-style bagels have been recognized as some of the best in the state. The “old school” part is a reference to how they’re made. These bagels are boiled before they’re baked, a tradition you’ll see on the East Coast.

Stop 4: Oklahoma State Capitol

The approach to the Oklahoma State Capitol building is impressive. You lose sight of it for a bit as you dip below the hill, and then it rises again into view. Tours are available if you’re here on a weekday instead of the weekend. Call or email if you’re traveling during the week and want a tour.

If you’re here on a weekend, spend some time wandering the grounds anyway. I recommend taking it in from all sides, as views of it do change from different angles. 

Stop 5: Oklahoma History Center 

The museum is great, but it’s been quite a big day for you at this point and it may be getting close to quitting time. If you do have time for a visit, the Oklahoma History Center is a nice primer on Oklahoma history. 

See exhibits on the state’s connection to space exploration, photographs before statehood, and traveling exhibits on topics like the Dust Bowl, state wildlife, and famous Oklahomans. 

If you’re interested in Oklahoma’s tribal nations, you’ll find some modest information here, but I’d hold off on the First Americans Museum for a deeper dive into that.

Stop 6: Drinks and Snacks

You may not need a full meal after your late lunch, or as I like to call it, a “Polish dinner.” 

Fun fact: Growing up, dinnertime was between the hours of 2-3pm in my house and I must say I was living life right back then.

Before you pack it in, though, take advantage of Oklahoma City’s very fun cocktail scene with one of the options below. I’ll include some spots with snacks in case you’re feeling like a little something before you call it a night.

• Parlor OKC : This is a food hall perfect for the indecisive. Here for drinks? The craft cocktail menu at the Parlor Bar is constantly changing. If you visit around Mardi Gras, expect multi-colored affairs and hurricane drinks in honor of the holiday. 
• S&B’S Burger Joint : This Oklahoma burger chain is well-known for serving up some of the best burgers in town. Head to their Automobile Alley location during happy hour for drink deals and a taste. Try the sliders if you don’t need a full meal.
• Skydance Brewing Co. : This brewery is Native American-owned, so you’ll see that as a thread in their beer and branding. They don’t have a full food menu, but often have food trucks on site. You can bring in food from spots like Parlor OKC, too.

Things to Do in Oklahoma City: Day 2

All of my favorite OKC attractions are represented over these three days in the most efficient way possible. I’m trying to limit your drive times between Oklahoma City highlights and to make the most use of your limited time here. That said, if you only have a day or two in Oklahoma City, prioritize as you see fit!

Stop 1: Brunch

Choose from one of Oklahoma City’s best brunch spots to kick off your Oklahoma City weekend in earnest. 

Packard’s was our pick for our first full day in Oklahoma City thanks to its proximity to what we wanted to start with that day. We had no trouble walking in without a wait on a Saturday morning in February, but imagine this one gets busier on warmer weekends. 

We had a busy day ahead so didn’t indulge in mimosas, but their brunch cocktail game here is strong. We shared an Impossible burger and the verde burrito for balance and had no complaints. 

Just note that you won’t be choosing off of their lunch menu if you’re here on the weekend before 3pm.

If you love options on your list of Oklahoma City things to do (and eat), I highly recommend Hatch Early Mood Food , too. There are a few locations of this one, but the flagship eatery is in Oklahoma City’s Automobile Alley.

Personally, I love that they offer a charcuterie board at breakfast, but their migas scrambles are beloved in these parts.

Stop 2: The Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum

I knew I wanted to check out the outdoor symbolic memorial at the very least, but once we arrived, it felt wrong to leave without checking out the museum, too. I highly recommend you do the same.

I guarantee you’ll gain some necessary context on the devastating Oklahoma City bombing.

Exhibits at the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum start with a history of the Murrah Federal Building that set the stage for the events of  April 19, 1995. It was just like any other day. 

From there, you’ll sit in on a hearing of the Oklahoma Water Resources Board. Just a few minutes in, you’ll hear audio from the blast. 

Honestly, I was shocked by the moment. This was a meeting recorded for future use by a water commission, not to serve as a sobering reminder of the events of that day. The chaos and confusion were heartbreaking but sets the stage for the rest of the exhibit space.

You’ll hear about survivors’ experiences being rescued from the rubble, and see a detailed timeline of the hunt for bomber Terry Nichols. You’ll fight back tears in a room dedicated to the 168 victims. 

You’ll be reminded of the resilience of this city, and how vital it was that people came together in the aftermath of the bombing.

I can’t emphasize enough how important a visit here is to your overall Oklahoma City experience. If you’re only here for the day, make this one a priority.

Stop 3: Factory Obscura: Mix-Tape

Factory Obscura: Mix-Tape is an immersive art experience designed with six major emotions in mind: joy, angst, love, melancholy, hope, and wonder. 

My initial thoughts during my visit were all, “This is like a mini-Meow Wolf,” a similar experience in Santa Fe and Las Vegas. Then I learned that this one was done in partnership with the folks who brought us Meow Wolf, so original thoughts be darned.

The Flaming Lips frontman and OKC native Wayne Coyne also played a part in bringing this to Oklahoma City after taking over the warehouse space in 2011. 

Fun fact: Back then, it started as a performance arts space and gallery known as “the Womb.” I’m sure you can imagine what the front door looked like at the time. 

Today, it’s known as “the Ear.” OK, I made that part up, but you do enter through a giant fuzzy ear.

I’d highly recommend this stop for some creative fun. Spend some time exploring the nooks and crannies. If you’re here with kids, there are plenty of spots to crawl around. I wouldn’t bring the really young ones, as you can basically touch everything inside. 

Advance tickets didn’t seem necessary, but you can book them online if you’re visiting over a holiday or busy summer weekend.

Stop 4: Oklahoma City Museum of Art

You may not have time to fit in the Oklahoma City Museum of Art in the morning before lunch. If you do, you’ll be treated to blown glass by Dale Chihuly and a diverse collection of art.

Prioritize the Chihuly exhibit on your visit. It’s the largest public collection of blown glass from the artist in the world. From there, don’t miss the Brett Weston photography exhibit and the gift shop. I’m not even kidding. Their gift shop is an experience in itself.

Stop 5: Lunch

If you’re still full from that indulgent brunch, continue on with your weekend fun in Oklahoma. If you’re ready for a nosh, keep things convenient with snacks nearby. 

Choose from any of the previous day’s recs or head to The Jones Assembly , a popular local eatery known for elevating regional cuisine. If you’re here on the weekend, their brunch/lunch menu is more reasonably-priced than dinner, too. 

Visiting a fancy-ish place for lunch basically a life hack for me when I want to try lots of things in lots of places and save some cash.

In any case, start with their savory hotcakes, please.

Stop 6: Myriad Botanical Gardens

The Myriad Botanical Gardens are the perfect escape on a chilly day in Oklahoma City thanks to a welcome blast of humidity upon arrival.

The conservatory space isn’t huge, but it’s quite lovely with its water features and the Crystal Bridge. Climb the stairs to get a bird’s-eye view of the conservatory space below from the bridge. The on-site shop is full of bespoke plant-themed gifts.

The outdoor space is much larger, if not as scenic. There’s a carousel that runs on warmer days and a large playground for the littles. You’re near the Paycom Center here, home of the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Stop 7: Bricktown Entertainment District 

What is Bricktown known for? Bricktown is known for being a destination for entertainment in downtown Oklahoma City.

There’s plenty to engage you in Bricktown for the rest of the day and into the evening. The neighborhood is home to the Oklahoma City Dodgers at the Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. If you’re visiting on a warm day, the Bricktown Water Taxi is a tourist favorite. 

The Bricktown Water Taxi is a narrated cruise down the Bricktown Canal. Check out their schedule online for cruise timing and to book tickets ahead of time. If you’re here in the summer months, you can book a ride during their Showboat Concert Series.  

If you’re here on a blustery day, try some indoor activities, instead. 

• American Banjo Museum

Peruse two floors of colorful banjos and exhibits about the history of the instrument at the American Banjo Museum . You’ll read about how the banjo got its start as a homemade instrument used by enslaved people in the South. 

There’s a performance space here in case you’re lucky with your timing and come across some live banjo music. Otherwise, several of the exhibits include videos of musicians like Dolly Parton and Steve Martin playing the banjo.

Jim Thorpe Museum & Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame

If you breezed through the American Banjo Museum, you’ll probably have time to fit in the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame nearby. This is one of the breeziest things to do in Oklahoma City for free.

It includes the Jim Thorpe Museum, although it’s really just one room within the museum on the history of famous faces in Oklahoma sports.

The museum is up on the second floor of the Chicksaw Bricktown Ballpark. Don’t miss gymnast phenom Shannon Miller’s tiny leotard once you’re inside.

Stop 9: Dinner 

Keep things convenient with dinner in Bricktown. Here are my top picks:

• Bricktown Brewery : What was once a candy shop is a brewery today. They have a full menu of shareable plates, pizza, burgers, and seafood entrees. You’ll see this one next to the American Banjo Museum.
• Pearl’s Crabtown : Pearl’s Restaurant Group runs a few seafood-centric concepts in town, but Crabtown is a local favorite for its crab boils. When they say “silverware not required,” they mean it.

Things to Do in Oklahoma City: Day 3

Explore some of my favorite Oklahoma City attractions on this day. As I’ve already warned, these OKC things to do aren’t listed in any order of importance, but by convenience. With just one day in Oklahoma City, spend it like this:

• National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum
• Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum
• Lunch in Downtown Oklahoma City
• First Americans Museum
• Centennial Land Run Monument
• Dinner in Bricktown or the Plaza District

If you have the full three days, finish things off with the city’s best museum and the best dessert shop in Oklahoma City.

Stop 1: Milk Bottle Grocery

I love all of the Route 66 things , so I had to make a quick stop here for a photo of a giant milk bottle in the middle of an intersection. 

You need to pull off at one of the abandoned shops here for a moment or have someone wait in your car as you snap your photo. It’s not in a super convenient location. Don’t miss the mural painted on one side of what I guess is a native woman atop a buffalo.

I’ve read that it’s both a nod to the city’s native heritage and advertising for the Oklahoma City Thunder. Do with that what you will. This is truly one of the more unusual things to do in Oklahoma City.

Stop 2: Brunch

Set yourself up right this morning with weekend brunch near your next few stops.

Here are a few options nearby:

• Jimmy B’s Culinary + Krafted : Come on weekends for a limited but yummy brunch menu of classics like French toast, overnight oats, and shakshuka. They have a full bar of brunch cocktails, too, including a “Jim Fizz.”
• Neighborhood Jam : No matter what you crave for breakfast, you’ll find it on the extensive menu at Neighborhood Jam. If you’re feeling more like lunch, they have a few sandwiches to offer, too.

Stop 3: The Overholser Mansion

The Henry and Anna Overholser Mansion — if you’re looking at your Google maps it may show up as just the Henry Overholser Mansion — is an impressive historic home in Heritage Hills. You’ll know you’re here by the large buffalo on the front lawn.

Tours are available by appointment on weekdays, but you can pop in most Fridays and Saturdays without a reservation. Arrive between 10am-3pm for tours about the history of this place, the first mansion in Oklahoma City.

Even if you don’t book a tour, Heritage Hills is still worth a visit. Some of the homes in this neighborhood are just as impressive, if not historic in their own right. They’re also humongous, which I always enjoy in homes.

Stop 4: First Americans Museum

The First Americans Museum is the most honest portrayal I’ve seen yet of the history of tribal nations in this country. It was new enough that it still looked like a construction site upon arrival, but everything was open and running during my visit.

The powerful space includes recorded testimony about the forced removal of indigenous people by white settlers. You’ll see exhibits about attempts at often violent assimilation by the federal government and Christian churches. 

Learn about the harm caused by modern stereotypes that persist to this day and the various accomplishments of native men and women, including veterans in all the major wars.

The second floor included objects on loan from the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian. You’ll see a disclaimer about exercising caution around native objects in general when you encounter them in museums. So many places mishandle and misuse sacred objects, which I learned is a form of scientific racism. 

It’s all even more impressive when you learn about the ceremony held here before the groundbreaking over a decade ago. All 39 tribal nations attended, and you can see ashes from the fire lit that day toward the exit to the museum.

The only bummer of my visit was the old couple that felt they should bring their small dog inside. It was a real distraction to listen to a panting floof during a screening of a film on the Sand Creek massacre. Don’t do this, people.

Stop 5: Scissortail Park

Scissortail Park is one of the city’s most impressive outdoor spaces. Unfortunately, it was pretty windy and chilly during my visit, so I only took in the skyline views briefly before continuing along on my merry way in the comfort of my warm vehicle.

On warm days, you can admire the Skydance Bridge, walk the connecting urban trails, or treat traveling pups to an afternoon at the on-site dog park. Summertime also means boat rentals on Scissortail Lake, live music events, and interactive fountains.

Stop 6: Centennial Land Run Monument

It feels a little weird when you arrive at the Centennial Land Run Monument because it’s tucked away behind the Bass Pro Shops and some chain hotels. Just ignore all of that for now so that you’re able to enjoy this symbol of Oklahoma City in all of its glory.

The monument commemorates the frenzy that occurred as a result of the Oklahoma Land Rush of 1889. Keep in mind that this was all former indigenous territory, so take anything you read about “unassigned” lands with a grain of salt.

I’ll allow the monument here because it really does capture the energy of that moment, no matter how I may feel about the result. The bronze sculpture is huge, and just a fraction of it is captured in my photo above. You’ll want to walk all the way around it to take in its size.

There’s plentiful parking at the monument if you just want a quick look, too. You’ll have easy access to the Bricktown River Walk Park here in the Boathouse District.

Stop 7: Pie Junkie

Today’s the kind of day you leave room for dessert, so make a pie stop before you set out for your evening meal. For just $5 per slice, you can try several types or take a whole pie with you to go at Pie Junkie in the Plaza District.

I grabbed slices of birthday cake, Bird Dog buttermilk, banana cream, and peanut butter and chocolate. They were all delicious, so I really don’t have any recommendations about what’s best. IT’S ALL THE BEST.

This is one of the best things to do in Oklahoma City for couples, especially if you or your honey have a sweet tooth.

Stop 8: Plaza Walls

The Plaza Walls are a very fun, colorful spot in the Plaza District, probably my favorite neighborhood overall in Oklahoma City. You walk through alleyways at your own pace to check out the public art. Parking can get a little tricky, so just drive around the side streets until you find something good. Just make sure you look for no parking signs.

Stop 9: Dinner

The Plaza District is popular with tourists seeking the best places to shop in Oklahoma City. If your list of fun things to do in Oklahoma City revolves around eating, though, here are my favorite spots for a munch:

• The Beet Box : if you’re vegan, embrace the beet at The Beet Box. If you don’t love beets, you likely haven’t had them correctly, but I digress. Any of their chickless sandwiches is a good idea. They even have an In-N-Out version.
• The Mule : Classic melts are the big deal here, so this one is perfect if you’re not looking for a humongous meal at the end of a busy day. If you are quite hungry, their Big Ass Grilled Cheese with a side of fried cheese curds should do the trick.
• The Press : Enjoy Southwestern comfort food like fry bread tacos and a full cocktail menu at this casual eatery. Arrive before 5pm on weekdays (including Friday!) for generous happy hour deals.

3+ Days in Oklahoma City…

A Weekend in Oklahoma City: FAQs

What’s oklahoma city famous for.

Oklahoma City is famous for how it handles the intersection of cowboy and Native American culture in town. It does so with tourism in mind at places like the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum, but it also does so with honesty if you pair that with the First Americans Museum.

Read on for more on both, but I very much appreciate what looks like a reckoning in OKC over the role settlers played in the state’s displacement of tribal nations. It’s part of what makes Oklahoma City an essential stop for anyone interested in a city that addresses that history. 

The city also offers quite a bit in the way of family-friendly activities in Oklahoma City.

What are the most popular things to do in Oklahoma City with kids?

The most popular things to do in Oklahoma City with kids on a family trip are:

• The National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum
• Oklahoma City Zoo & Botanical Garden
• Myriad Botanical Gardens
• Factory Obscura: Mix-Tape

Does Oklahoma City have public transportation?

Oklahoma City does have public transportation in the form of public buses, river ferries, and the Oklahoma City streetcar. You’ll still probably want to rent a car for your Oklahoma City adventure, though. 

It will make your travel much more efficient as you tick off items on your to-do list. Use sites like Hotwire or Priceline to book a rental before you travel to Oklahoma City for the best deals. 

Where to Stay in Oklahoma City

We visited OKC on day trips from Tulsa , but you’ll find hotels in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, at any price point on your weekend in OKC. 

The 21c Museum Hotel Oklahoma City would be my pick on a return trip because the hotel is a cultural icon. There’s a contemporary art museum on site, for Pete’s sake.

Use the map below for more hotels in Oklahoma City:

Is there anything cool in Oklahoma City?

There is so much that’s cool in Oklahoma City, like the Plaza District, the immersive art experience at Factory Obscura: Mix-Tape, and the generous number of museums here. If you’re a traveling foodie, it’s easy to fill up a weekend with Oklahoma City’s food scene alone.

As you plan for things to do in OKC this weekend, consider a mix of culture, Oklahoma City’s quirkiest spots, and the city’s best dining for the best experience.

Ready for Oklahoma City, OK?

Your Flight: I use a variety of tools to find cheap airfare, but if you’re looking to book during a particular period of time, you should use Skyscanner . It’s a great tool for when you’re more flexible, too, as it allows you to compare travel based on length of travel, departure date, etc.

To get started with some of the top things to do in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, you’ll likely fly into Will Rogers World Airport, a regional airport. OKC is also a popular road trip destination and a stop on many scenic Amtrak trips.

For adventurous folks who travel on the reg, I also subscribe to Going , formerly Scott’s Cheap Flights. You’ll get cheap flight deals from your home base straight to your inbox. It’s a great way to visit destinations you’ve always wanted to visit or that weren’t even on your radar.

Your Accommodations: I typically recommend sites like Booking.com and Hotels.com for your accommodation needs with Vrbo as a short-term rental alternative. Scroll up for my top places in OKC for your overnight.

Buc-ee's opens largest store spanning 75,000 square feet with 120 gas pumps

The luling, texas, location opened this week.

FOX Business Flash top headlines for June 11

Check out what's clicking on FoxBusiness.com

A newly opened Buc-ee’s is living up to the saying that everything’s bigger in Texas. 

The new travel center, which officially opened for business on Monday, sprawls over 75,000 square feet in Luling and is equipped with 120 gas pumps.

Its size makes it the largest constructed by the popular travel center chain . Prior to the Luling location’s launch, that title belonged to a 74,000-square-foot Buc-ee’s in Tennessee.

The new Buc-ee's in Luling, Texas, opened for business this week. (Eric Guel)

The company marked the new Buc-ee’s Luling with a ribbon-cutting ceremony the same day that it started welcoming customers. Gov. Greg Abbott attended the opening festivities for the record-setting facility along with other local officials.

"As the state’s greatest fan of ‘beaver nuggets,’ I am proud that Texas is home to the world’s best convenience store," he said in a statement. "Texas is proud to be the homebase of the growing Buc-ee’s empire. Buc-ee’s is just one important piece of the economy of the bigger, better Texas we are building for generations to come."

A look inside Buc-ee's in Luling, Texas. (Eric Guel)

The company, headquartered in Texas, projected in late May that the Luling site would create at least 200 new jobs.

DOLLYWOOD EDGES OUT DISNEY FOR FAVORITE THEME PARK: SURVEY

The 75,000-square-foot Buc-ee’s takes the place of a 21-year-old location that served the area and was known as its "first family travel center," according to the company. It also increases  the total number of Buc-ee’s travel centers – more than two-thirds of which are in the Lone Star State – to 49.

"This was the first travel center we ever built, but we outgrew the store and needed to build a new one," Buc-ee’s co-founder Arch Alpin III said in a statement.

Inside the new store, Buc-ee’s customers will be able to buy "thousands of snack, meal and drink options " that the travel center chain is well-known for.

"I commend Buc-ee’s for continuing to showcase the best of the Lone Star State, and I congratulate the company on its tremendous success," Abbott said.

From the moment you arrive at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, you’ll be swept away to a romantic paradise like no other. Highlights include:

Arrive in Style Before you even reach the port-cochère, you’ll be welcomed with magnificent views of this Resort hotel—which is particularly captivating at night thanks to its dramatic lighting. Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort features a grand entrance with 3 elongated archways and a signature, ribbon-patterned design that lends to a striking architectural expression.

Upon arrival, step through an entryway featuring intricate wooden screens and into a grand, 2-story lobby adorned with rows of Moorish hanging lanterns—all beautifully enhanced by subtle lighting. The rear wall of the lobby features full-height decorative bronze screens inspired by Spanish tile patterns.

Centralized Amenities A hub of activity, Villa del Lago—the “Lake Villa”—is a mirage-like collection of one-story, wood buildings set in the middle of Lago Dorado. This centralized amenities area is inspired by the artists, dreamers, adventurers and explorers of a bygone age whose passion for life is celebrated in the rich legends, lore, art and cuisine represented here. Located at the intersection of the 3 new bridges that span the lake and link to the hotel, Villa del Lago represents a bustling “crossroads” for those in search of recreation and relaxation.

This scenic setting is also home to Three Bridges Bar & Grill, a lakefront restaurant serving up tasty cuisine. Behind the central bar is a beautiful stone hearth, where you can relax by a glowing fire pit in the evening as you sip on refreshing beverages.
