For those of you who plan to make a weekend of it here are some ideas of things to do in OKC for free or at least low cost:


Oklahoma City National Memorial 

Travel to downtown Oklahoma City to see the site of the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. Wander through the grounds of the Oklahoma City National Memorial and reflect upon the outdoor Field of Empty Chairs, the massive bronze Gates of Time and the Survivor Tree, a testament to the city’s strength and perseverance.

Martin Park Nature Center

Immerse yourself in the beauty of Oklahoma’s central woodlands and take a calming outdoor break at Martin Park Nature Center. This free Oklahoma City oasis features a variety of winding nature trails, a beautiful creek that runs throughout the park, a bird-observation wall and an on-site nature museum. 


Oklahoma State Capitol

Take a free tour of the Oklahoma State Capitol and marvel at the building’s impressive Greco-Roman architecture as a tour guide leads you throughout the structure. Make sure to point your gaze upward to see the magnificent detail work on the inside of the capitol dome. 


45th Infantry Division Museum

View an impressive array of firearms and related military artifacts from the Revolutionary War to the conflicts in Vietnam at the 45th Infantry Division Museum in Oklahoma City.  Stroll through 15 acres filled with tanks, artillery, aircraft and more.


Arts Districts

Peruse a multitude of art galleries and meet Oklahoma artisans during a monthly art event in one of the state’s acclaimed arts districts. Attend the First Friday Gallery Walk in the Paseo Arts District, the Circuit of Art in Norman or Live on the Plaza in Oklahoma City’s reemerging Plaza District.


Red Earth Museum

For prime examples of American Indian life, make a trip to the Red Earth Museum in Oklahoma City. View paintings, pottery and artifacts while learning about authentic American Indian culture.

OKC BrickTown
Since opening day in 1999, Bricktown Water Taxi has become one of the most popular attractions in Bricktown, Downtown Oklahoma City, and the state of Oklahoma. In 2007, we carried our one millionth passenger, and in 2009 marked 10 years of showing tourists and locals alike the sights and sounds of Bricktown from a unique perspective, floating down the Bricktown Canal.




That about sums it up on my end. Remember if you have RSVP'd I have already accounted for your family. That means, they are counting on your family being there. If something changes and you cannot make it, it is very important that you let me know ASAP. We have a big group going, I am totally excited and even a little shocked! There will be new and old faces there-- hey I know I'm old! =) I can't wait to spend the day with everyone in OKC! 

Joyfully serving you and our children, 

Kati =)
