Parent Pundits Bite-sized wisdom from local parent contributors Last Look “Did you know downtown OKC is home to a secret tunnel system?! OK, maybe it’s not exactly a secret, but it’s definitely a unique and lesser-known attraction in the city I’ve called home since birth.” Erin Page shares her multi-generational adventure through OKC Underground, downtown’s tunnel system that has been in operation for 50 years. Built to provide foot traffic an out-of-the-weather alternative route between many of downtown’s buildings, OKC Underground was renovated in 2006. Compared to the dated tunnel system of her youth, a walk through OKC Underground now feels like visiting an art and history museum rolled into one, with photo galleries, art installations, historical photos and rainbow-hued
lighting in unique patterns. Learn more about how to access the tunnels and what not to miss on your visit here.
