The Official OKC Visitors Guide 2023

FACTORY OBSCURA Part art gallery, part immersive experience, Factory Obscura is a local arts collaborative focused on awakening wonder. The first permanent experience is Mix-Tape, a multisensory homage to and modern application of old school mixtapes, those old cassettes that were thematic collections of favorite songs. The creators describe it as a mixture of visuals, sounds, textures and interactivity.

FIREFIGHTERS MUSEUM The museum shares space with the Oklahoma State Firefighters Association, and while they are the historical focus, the museum also has exhibits on the London Fire Brigade, firefighter patches and restored firetrucks. It is also home to a large collection of firefighting gear that date back to the mid-18th century.

FIRST AMERICANS MUSEUM Along the Oklahoma River, the First Americans Museum shares cultural diversity, history, art and contributions of the First Americans. Visitors can experience the collective histories of Oklahoma’s 39 distinctive First American Nations through immersive family-friendly activities, a full-service restaurant featuring unique Native-inspired cuisine, a museum store highlighting authentic handmade items by premiere First American artists, and an outdoor cultural park where the plains, prairies and wetlands converge.

FRONTIER CITY AND HURRICANE HARBOR The metro’s Six Flags amusement parks are located on nearly opposite ends of the city. The Hurricane Harbor water park is a great way to beat the summer heat, with pools, a lazy river, water slides, spray cannons and inner tubes – even a family- sized tube. Frontier City includes roller coasters, bumper cars, a kids’ train, mine car ride and a ton of other options for thrill-seekers of all ages.
