Local Family Fun
Top spots along the route • Pause for the view of the Oklahoma City skyline as you walk north across Skydance Bridge. • Venture onto the winding wood chip path just south of the Skydance Bridge. It’s a short path that inspires a sense of wonder amidst the urban jungle. • Stop in to The National and ride the escalator up into The Great Hall . This public space is awe-inspiring. Whether you bring a book to read or a card game to play with the family, this sanctuary offers a respite from the bustling city outside. While you’re there, grab a coffee from The Gilded Acorn on the ground floor. • Union Station is not just a relic of the past but will soon become a community hub. After years of service as a passenger rail station, the building has been underutilized or empty for decades. Fortunately, it was well-cared for and is slated to become an event center. • The Scissortail Farmer’s Market takes place on Saturdays, April through October, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Consider parking near the northeast corner of Scissortail Park and adjusting your route to end near the market. Pick up some locally grown fruits, vegetables and even bison meat before heading home.
