As the capital of the great state of Oklahoma, Oklahoma City offers a modern window into the traditionally prairie-filled land, bringing in a lot of business due to oil and gas as well as offering classic southern BBQ. Make the region easy to look forward to by having the right mode to see it, utilizing downtown’s Oklahoma City Streetcar for over a dozen stops that circle downtown’s main areas, from the Cox Convention Center at the heart of the Business District to the blooming flowers of Myriad Botanical Gardens. Look forward to it all with even more ease by having a private lift yourself, reserving a sedan that’s great for doubling as a vacation-mobile or staying safe with an SUV perfect for medium-sized families. Those wanting to stay close to Will Rogers World Airport for the perk of a free lift should consider staying at one of many hotels along Meridian Avenue.
Fall in love with the area from the bottom to the top, taking a look at the history of the region first. Check out 63rd Street National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum for a view of key characteristics and moments of the area, each one known to inspire regional food, music, and fashion. Check out other folksy museums while you’re in the mood, switching from the eclectic exhibits at the American Banjo Museum to breathtaking landscapes installed at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. Those looking to add a thrill to their day should consider checking out Frontier City Theme Park, home to western-themed rides and live shows, or you can go tranquil with a view of the Oklahoma River at Wheeler Park, home to pristine lawns as well as the iconic Wheeler Ferris Wheel. Go for the gold when dinner bells start ringing, enjoying a sit-down at Cattlemen’s, renowned for its rustic ambiance and house-cut steaks.
