BRICKTOWN ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT Just a short walk from downtown’s central business district, this former warehouse area is filled with restaurants, shops, nightlife and entertainment options. From taking a cruise along the Bricktown Canal to catching an Oklahoma City Dodgers game at the Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark, Bricktown is a favorite destination for visitors and locals alike. MI DTOWN On the northern edge of downtown and just west of Automobile Alley, the Midtown district connects the hustle and bustle of downtown with the stately historic neighborhoods to its north. With a mix of local restaurants, neighborhood pubs and distinctive shops, it’s a great place to experience the best of OKC’s urban renaissance.
MEMORIAL ROAD CORRIDOR The Memorial Road corridor, located in north Oklahoma City, is one of Oklahoma City’s most dynamic retail areas. In addition to established restaurants and the Quail Springs Mall, the corridor is also home to Main Event entertainment center and the Chisholm Creek mixed-use center. At Chisholm Creek, there is plenty to do, including exploring locally owned shops, driving some balls at TopGolf, going high at iFly indoor skydiving or dining at one of many local and national chain restaurants. NORTHWEST EXPRESSWAY CORR I DOR Similar to Memorial Road but offering some local fare, Northwest Expressway is a major hub of retail and dining in northwest Oklahoma City. A wide variety of restaurants and pubs abound, as does upper-end mall shopping and dining at Penn Square Mall, the OAK development and family entertainment options like Chuck E. Cheese. While you’re in the area, don’t miss the opportunity to have dinner and play some games at Dave & Buster’s. SPORTS & OUTDOORS In downtown Oklahoma City and its surrounding districts, you will find Olympic-training venues for rowing, canoeing, kayaking and whitewater rafting. There’s a baseball stadium packed with cheering fans for the Oklahoma City Baseball Club, the Triple-A affiliate for the Los Angeles Dodgers. And, of course, at Paycom Center, one can find a raucous crowd cheering for the Oklahoma City Thunder. If you would rather be on the field than in the stands, Oklahoma City’s more than 250 days of sunshine each year make it the perfect place to maintain an active lifestyle. The city offers a growing number of ways to enjoy sports and being outdoors.
CLASSEN CURVE AND WESTERN AVENUE
North of downtown in central Oklahoma City, Western Avenue is the perfect stretch of street to explore if you like curated antiques, atmospheric dive bars and established local restaurants. Alongside anchors like Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s, Classen Curve has all the upscale shopping that you might need, including luxury clothing, athleisure brands, jewelry and homewares. FILM ROW Equal parts historic and revitalized, Film Row was once home to the film distribution offices for Hollywood’s major studios. It’s now home to a mix of artistic businesses, locally owned restaurants and Oklahoma City’s Fordson Hotel. The art gallery is open to the public and free to tour.
