Local Family Fun
And there’s still so much more we want to see. The OKC Underground is high on our list, a network of tunnels beneath downtown that’s home to rotating art displays and immersive light features. It’s part practical, part whimsical — perfect for kids who love a good secret passage. We also want to take a tour of the Oklahoma State Capitol , where stunning murals showcase Oklahoma history and culture in breathtaking detail. And one of these days, we’ll make it to Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark , where even the stadium walls pay homage to OKC’s artistic flair. Let the city be your gallery OKC’s art scene goes beyond museum walls. It’s on your way to the grocery store, around the corner from your coffee shop, wrapped around playgrounds and peeking out from alleyways. The creativity here is bold, welcoming and accessible. And when you see it through your kids’ eyes, when you hear them gasp, point and ask questions — it’s more than just beautiful. It’s unforgettable. All you need is a little time, a pair of good walking shoes and, maybe, a pie break or two.
