Getting the most out of visiting Oklahoma City
When I was researching “things to do in Oklahoma City” there were so many amazing things that popped up. They have amazing museums, a beautiful zoo and parks, several trendy districts that would be fun to explore and so much more. But once again, we didn’t have a ton of time and I didn’t want to spend that time driving spot to spot. That’s why for our first visit to Oklahoma City, we decided to concentrate on the downtown area.

Things to do in downtown Oklahoma City:
1 – Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum




The weeping Jesus statue that faces away from the site of the bombing.
2 -Myriad Botanical Gardens and The Crystal Bridge
After we left the Memorial, we hopped on a city bus that took us down to Myriad Botanical Gardens. The trip only cost .50 cents per person however we really only went about 3-4 blocks and could have easily walked it. If you want to ride it or see the route, check out route 50 – Downtown Discovery.



3 – Bricktown

4 – Land Run Monument
After we ate and rested, we followed the canal all the way down to the Land Run Monument. (First stopping in at Bass Pro Shops to use the restaurant and freak out our exchange student with the huge store full of taxidermy animals.)
5 – Oklahoma State Capitol Building


6 – Oklahoma City Museum of Art
