I live in Oklahoma City and there is also the Kirkpatrick Planetarium within the Science Museum, Firefighters Museum, Remington Racetrack, Oklahoma City Zoo, Sam Noble Museum in Norman as well as the University of Oklahoma and the Sooners, The Womb, a psychedelic arts center, American Banjo Museum, 99s Museum of Women Pilots, Riversport Adventures and Rapids in the Boathouse district downtown OKC, as well as Toby Keith's I Love This Bar and Grill in Bricktown. OKC has LOTS of stuff to see and do, this is just a sampling and doesn't include the myriad of attractions from surrounding towns.
Mattie's Catz! I agree, I live in Yukon, and I think that he could’ve also put Nics in there instead of Tucker’s, don’t get me wrong Tucker’s is very good but Nics is just more iconic and has been featured on TV
Don't forget about the Merland Mansion in Ponca City! The home of one of Oklahoma's earliest governors. The pioneer womans museum and the pesao district
Being from Oklahoma I'm always wary when people "rate" oklahoma city because we normally arent viewed the best. I think this was beautifully done I love my city and state and I think it should stopped being over looked we have plenty here :)
I live here and I love it. Born and raised. My dad was suppose to go to that building on the same day that the bombing happened but his alarm clock didn't go off. But I been to about 75% of the places mentioned and I love it all.
My mother was right down the road she was heading there to pick up some paperwork. I was in first grade when it happened. We felt the shock wave and where 45 minutes north of OKC.
Lived in OKC all my life. Just wanted to say thanks for highlighting our town, and thank you for the respectful shout-out to the OKC Bombing. I was in school that day and felt the blast from several miles away!
You forgot just talking to people. I love being from Oklahoma because everyone that I know from out of state (trust me, I lived in Anaheim, CA as a kid) tells me they love the people. You walk by anyone and they smile at you. Very friendly and very helpful if you need them. Every time I’ve ever been in a sticky situation on the road or just in general someone will offer to help in no time. We aren’t considered the south but we sure do have the best southern hospitality type.
That is amazing to know, now people down south is losing that southern hospitality. I applied for some job position in Oklahoma I hope I get ome of them.
I'm Japanese. I live in Japan. I've been practicing for Broadway Musical "Oklahoma!" so I became to love oklahoma city! I wanna go oklahoma. and then I wanna go cowboy museum. and I wanna sing oklahoma ! with oklahoma's people.
I have been Oklahoma City in 1988 after that living Los Angeles to now. I feel Oklahoma people very nice and that City so quiet, I hope in Future some time to Visit this City again.
Was doing research on things to do in OKC. Your video was the best I found by far. The editing, the places you chose to feature, everything. Amazing work!
I was ready to criticize your picks. But this was a great list. Some other great place to visit would be 45th Infantry Division Museum and train museum, the science museum is more kids oriented but actually very impressive. Cafe Cacao is a Latin cuisine brunch place in central okc that is amazing and was featured on the travel channel. Guthrie has cool shops and historical homes.
The 45th Infantry Museum is a great place and there really is a lot to look at and learn. The train museum is one of our unknowns but is really great too. I always try to tell people about it. Guthrie is one of my favorite places in the state. Tons of historic buildings and history.
Dee Powerz it’s currently remodeling an exhibit at a time, all the new ones are better then NY zoo. Still only 2 are redone. It might become the best after it’s completed.
This was a great video! Many people see Oklahoma as a fly over state but we actually have a lot to offer. We have some hidden gems! I am proud to be an Okie! Thanks for such a great video showcasing some of our iconic spots!
I continue to admire and appreciate your terrific mix of local lanmarks and memorials, museums (and botanical gardens), fun finds, and favorite food stops. Looks like your dad does, too. Yet another top-notch vlog from an expert videographer and narrator. Thanks very much for sharing your visit to Oklahoma City and nearby areas!
Scissortail park came out AMAZING! It has tons of native plants, a pond, winding walking paths, misters, fountains, food trucks, skating, paddle boating, a concert area, and a lot of nice places all around it within walking distance. I recommend the Social Capital :)
Thank u for such an amazing video. We recently visited Oklahoma and followed your video for the most of the trip. Very useful and informative. Keep posting more and more 😊
Great overview of our city and definitely some incredible recommendations. I was weary when I first moved from San Francisco to Oklahoma City, but watching this city grow and develop the way it has was a great subvert to my expectations. Thanks for the video!
I love in Oklahoma City well in Edmond but I would say you got some really great places and missed some better spots. Great video though. Shows Oklahoma in a better light than most people see it in.
I've never been to Oklahoma City, but it looks fantastic. I'm hoping to head there this summer and, based on your video, it looks like i'll have plenty to do! Thanks for the great vids!
You missed out on highlighting some of the best local districts for food and entertainment like The Plaza, Paseo/23rd Street, Automobile Alley, Film Row and Midtown. Most of the best food and drink options are tucked away in those districts that surround downtown. Other than that, I think most OKC residents would agree with a lot of this list. Probably favoring many other districts over Bricktown though.
Thank you for showing how awesome our little city is. It is a family friendly place as well as a great place for the singles scene. There are so many great things to do here.
@@imstelios You're right. It's just your opinion, so why prevent tourists from going to make their own opinion on a generally very popular spot? It doesn't negate that the majority loves it.
I am a fellow Oklahoman and if you want to do some fun things with your family you could take your family to Frontier City, White Water Bay, HeyDay, Andy's Alligators and so much more. For Movies Try Tinseltown near Remington Park also near a Casino, Race Track, Science Museum and there are also some quick food places. Oklahoma is really a underrated State and I think it shouldn't be underrated. Thank You for representing Oklahoma So well And if you want explore downtown Edmond, Guthrie, and Tulsa. If you are the Outdoorsy type try Camping at Turner Falls or Explore Pauls Valley
They also have a new park in the city called Scissor Tail Park. A beautiful bridge going over the highway with a modern artwork sculpture going over the top that lights up at night. Beautiful can be seen for miles.
I'm str8 with the Lamb Fries just as I am with Mountain Oysters. I live in OKC and had no idea that there were tunnels underground for getting to place to place when the weather is not all of that. I must go check them out. Thank you for sharing that.
Oklahoma City has been my home for 47 years. I love it so. Thank you for showing our city in a great light. Come back soon and often, as there more and greater places being built. The greatest asset of the state of Oklahoma, not just Oklahoma City, are it’s people. Again, thank you and we’ll see you later. 😊
Living in Oklahoma City is the nicest place I’ve been to the top of the Devan tower Went to the art museum ( some kid pulled the fire alarm trigger lol ) Ate at the bottom of the Devan tower It’s a wonderful place!
I grew up in Oklahoma and remember every weekend we'd drive to lake hefner to ridw our bikes and watch the sunset. My whole childhood was based around that lake and it makes me emotional thinking about it now. Definitely recommend
I'm 45 and have lived in OKC basically my whole life. There may be a few oversights here and there, but overall you managed to encompass much of what there is to offer. The attractions may not seem that amazing compared to Disneyland, but what you get here is REAL history, particularly of the American West. There are other amazing things to see, but even if you only hit the high points outlined in this video, you'll have a great time.
Bricktown is so much fun. There's a Jdrf walk every fall for diabetes and my school always comes to volunteer. I always look foward to going there and doing the walk and playing in the bubble pit
Oklahoma City & the Oklahoma state is the best place to live...I used to live there & lemme tell you even tho I don't live there no more Oklahoma is my home👍😀😂✌👏☕✌☕👏✌👍👍Nice vid Josh excellent job keep it up👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
We also have Toby Keith's bar in Bricktown. The OKC ZOO that is part of the monarch migration path, should you come here during migration time you will be able to see hundreds of monarchs. The Science Museum formally know as the Omniplex, and the Art museum with the massive glass sculpture as tall as the building. There's so much to do here, I've lived here my whole life and haven't been to it all.
I live in Oklahoma, grew up in OKC, and I think the replies have a lot great suggestions. OKC is simply a place to stop on the way to someplace else, however, nice lodging, and good food, can be had as well as some interesting attractions that may cause one to extend their stay. I really enjoyed your post and look forward to seeing more as you travel the nation.
I'm from Moore and work downtown pretty nice representation. Those Lake Hefner trails are eventually going to connect through all of okc to each of the municipal lakes. by bicycle you can travel from Hefner to Overholser and to the downtown area along the river.
bro I'm born and raised here in okc and had no clue about the museums except the cowboy one! I live down the street from cattleman's and never been 😭 heard the lamb fries was bomb lol thank you for exploring okc hope you come back because now we have a Ferris wheel right off side of the highway and a ginormous trampoline along with ziplining! 😘
I enjoyed this, very well done. I think you left off a few more great things the city has to offer. But they were listed by others and people can see. Loved this and reading the comments from my fellow Oklahomies.
As a person that lives close to OKC. I highly recommend you to try Cattlemen’s Cafe. It’s like the best steakhouse that you’ve ever been to. My favorite steak to get is T-bone steak. To be fair, the lamb fries are the best appetizer to ever get there.
I can't believe you didn't mention the Oklahoma history center. It's way cheaper than some of the places on your list, it overlooks the capital building and it's really well done.
There is a new park at the Scissortail Bridge area in OKC. Lots of other things as MattieB says below. I love the Cattlemen's and have eaten there for over 50 years. My wife and I had Prime Rib there on our 50th anniversary. El Reno is the home of the onion burger, BTW. Nice video and I am watching all your route 66 vids too
I live in OKC and i think its great you showcased our city. I have lived here awhile and had never heard of Ednas or the pigeon museum. Guess you learn something new every day!!!
The Omni Plex is very cool and right next to the Zoo, which is also very cool. As previously stated the 45th infantry Museum is very interesting if you are interested in WW2 artifacts and houses the most Nazi artifacts outside of Germany. I can remember when the downtown area around the river walk was nothing but skid row bums and derelict buildings back in the 80's MAN how things have changed!! Toby Keiths is a must-visit restaurant in OKC. Cattlemans is overpriced and not the best steak house, just sayin. I have yet to go to the new Memorial in the downtown area, I was there in the late 90's after the bombing but there was not a museum at that time. The Cowboy Hall of Fame or whatever it's called these days is very cool!! Thanks for the upload!!
@@AudryConsol Do you really think so? I mean if someone googles Omni Plex in OKC I would think it would steer them in the right direction. unless the name has been changed recently. Not being argumentive just saying.
@@AudryConsol The name change from Omniplex to Science Museum Oklahoma took place in the fall of 2007. I was working there part time on weekends during the change.
Okay so I live in Oklahoma and you MUST go to the zoo!!!!! It’s got so many amazing exhibits. They recently added a new restaurant near the elephants and its sooooo goooood! Also the science museum is absolutely amazing!!!!! It’s got all kinds of cool thing like a mirror maze and a Segway course and a bunch of other cool things! 💕💕
I lived In Oklahoma my whole life and for any new terrorists who go to Oklahoma, i recommend a small diner called White Dog Hill on route 66. It's out of the city and more of a drive located in Clinton but it is the best steak I ever had in my life and the view you get from the diner is absolutely amazing.
The "milk bottle building" as you called it is NOT on Route 66. It's on N Classen Blvd 400ft North northwest of NW 23rd St. and it's actually called Milk Bottle Grocery. And then there's the historic Gold Dome which is on the southeastern corner of the NW 23rd & N Classen Blvd intersection. Also right in that same area is an Amazing sandwich shop called Some Place Else
Anns chicken fry is pretty good on nw 39th expressway, I forget what its called but its a item on the menu that combines chicken fried steak,fries, and smothered with gravy it is so good it's small but reminds me of a 50's restaurant. The ok zoo, restaurants on hefner lake, Paseo, river sporting events, rock climbing at okc rocks. Thanks for sharing there was stuff on your list that I haven't got to do yet!
I live in Oklahoma City and there is also the Kirkpatrick Planetarium within the Science Museum, Firefighters Museum, Remington Racetrack, Oklahoma City Zoo, Sam Noble Museum in Norman as well as the University of Oklahoma and the Sooners, The Womb, a psychedelic arts center, American Banjo Museum, 99s Museum of Women Pilots, Riversport Adventures and Rapids in the Boathouse district downtown OKC, as well as Toby Keith's I Love This Bar and Grill in Bricktown. OKC has LOTS of stuff to see and do, this is just a sampling and doesn't include the myriad of attractions from surrounding towns.
Wow. Oklahoma is very fantastic.
Mattie's Catz! I agree, I live in Yukon, and I think that he could’ve also put Nics in there instead of Tucker’s, don’t get me wrong Tucker’s is very good but Nics is just more iconic and has been featured on TV
A Sooners game day experience is something else for sure. Boomer!
Don't forget about the Merland Mansion in Ponca City! The home of one of Oklahoma's earliest governors. The pioneer womans museum and the pesao district
Thanks for all the great suggestions! I pinned this comment as I am sure it will help others as well!
You represented us so well! Thanks!
No problem, I really loved the city!
Being from Oklahoma I'm always wary when people "rate" oklahoma city because we normally arent viewed the best. I think this was beautifully done I love my city and state and I think it should stopped being over looked we have plenty here :)
I had never been to Oklahoma City before and I really loved it!
If only America knew about the pigeon museum!!! 😂😂😂😂
@@chriskladky5698 omg yes lol!
Amen!
I live in Noble, very close to the OU campus and we love OKC and Oklahoma!
I live in Oklahoma and I didn’t even know about a bunch of these things
Bruh
Shame on you
Dom Quixote, not EVERYBODY knows about these places
Sara Mei Wayne thanks Sara
Creedmoor Outdoors, I mean, just because you live in a state, Doesn’t mean you know everything about it
Paseo and plaza district if you are into art. Especially during festivals or art walk nights.
Agreed! It's so pretty
Agreed! The Mule has some bomb food
Hey Todd you know my brother David
Oh yeah, I live at the end of the plaza district and you can always find a garage band playing sometime the same week
That place is nothing more than a bunch of hipsters!
I live here and I love it. Born and raised. My dad was suppose to go to that building on the same day that the bombing happened but his alarm clock didn't go off. But I been to about 75% of the places mentioned and I love it all.
Joshua Jenkins I’m on my way there to work. Is it a racist city or is it pretty chill?
Kingladell Donaldson not at all. The city is a very chill place
W Brotherz thanks
Kingladell Donaldson don’t believe w brotherz the city is pretty fuckin racist

My great grandfather was 45rh infantry, was there when they walked into the gates of Dachau. Miss the old man
You forgot the zoo. Okc has one of if not the best zoo in the country
Huh .. Not of new york smh. Travel more plz smh
Dee Powerz I didn’t really mean it’s the premiere zoo of America but it is one of the most diverse (3rd most if I remember)
Love our zoo but st Luis and Dallas zoo is pretty good
Dee Powerz it’s currently remodeling an exhibit at a time, all the new ones are better then NY zoo. Still only 2 are redone. It might become the best after it’s completed.
Dee Powerz just because you’re butthurt oklahoma is better than new york😂

Martin Park is the best thing about OKC.

Does anyone else just call it, “the city”?
Yes lol.
yeah...whenever I am not in Oklahoma City....I say "welp we still need to get back to the city"
I just say okc
We do in Green Country.
Yeeup

Yeah, Bricktown feels contrived, like every other riverfront renovation project like it in America.
Thank you for showing how awesome our little city is. It is a family friendly place as well as a great place for the singles scene. There are so many great things to do here.
I just saw this and my papa actually did most of the cement work at the garden! He also did some of it in the Oklahoma City zoo too!
Forgot paseo district, empire slice, roxy's ice cream, and basically midtown to name a few! Good video though!
@LilGreenStrings good job! You know the difference!
Empire slice is a dirty beatnik pizza joint that is WAY overrated. JMO
@@imstelios You're right. It's just your opinion, so why prevent tourists from going to make their own opinion on a generally very popular spot? It doesn't negate that the majority loves it.
@@imstelios aww you went straight to attacking the person! Here's your cookie
Empire slice is so bomb dude. Best pizza I've ever had
Bro, I do really love all of your videos, the ones from this channel and the other ones about California. This inspires me a lot. Good job!
Craft beer in OKC has exploded. Another worthy addition to your great list.
yeah it has
Oklahoma City also has many venues which feature a wide range of live music any given night of the week. 🎼
Oh hell yeah. We have a great music scene here
Wow love your video I live in okc been here 20 years and never really appreciated how fun it can be until I saw your video! Thank you! ❤️
You forgot to say go to Midwest city to watch all the tweakers🤣

Great video! As an Okie, I’m glad to see that you enjoyed your visit!!!
Try the water sports thing on the river they have bike tracks slides kayaking zip lines stand up paddle boarding and even white water rafting
Been living here for 2 years and I've been to half of the places mentioned. Thanks for this !
Lol I've lived here my entire 39 years and only been to cattleman's and edna's.
You need to come back to OKC to visit our AMAZING ZOO and science museum 🥰
I was trying to figure out a road trip to go on. Now I want to visit Oklahoma City!
Another great video gosh you’re right the one with the skeletons is pretty cool and if I ever make it to Oklahoma I will check that out🤔👍

The Omni Plex is very cool and right next to the Zoo, which is also very cool. As previously stated the 45th infantry Museum is very interesting if you are interested in WW2 artifacts and houses the most Nazi artifacts outside of Germany. I can remember when the downtown area around the river walk was nothing but skid row bums and derelict buildings back in the 80's MAN how things have changed!! Toby Keiths is a must-visit restaurant in OKC. Cattlemans is overpriced and not the best steak house, just sayin. I have yet to go to the new Memorial in the downtown area, I was there in the late 90's after the bombing but there was not a museum at that time. The Cowboy Hall of Fame or whatever it's called these days is very cool!! Thanks for the upload!!
Using the "Omni Plex" name will just confuse non Oklahoma City area natives
@@AudryConsol Do you really think so? I mean if someone googles Omni Plex in OKC I would think it would steer them in the right direction. unless the name has been changed recently. Not being argumentive just saying.
@@jackallen6261 I was changed to Science Museum of Oklahoma a few years ago however some of the old highway signs are still up as Omni Plex
@@AudryConsol oh okay. I didn't know that.
@@AudryConsol The name change from Omniplex to Science Museum Oklahoma took place in the fall of 2007. I was working there part time on weekends during the change.
Wow you made my home oklahoma city look so cool!!!!! If ever come back ill show you 20 more cool places!!!!
the water taxi doesn't really take you anywhere; it's not transportation. it's more of a tourist thing for sightseeing.
Shawn it’s a waste of money*
It's a tourist trap
I’m in OKC right now and will be checking a few of these places out this week.
I love my home!!!!!! Sadly the basketball is now trash but seeing it on such a great channel makes me happy!
I know, I am still sad about pg13 and Russell. True, we could be the jazz
Okay so I live in Oklahoma and you MUST go to the zoo!!!!! It’s got so many amazing exhibits. They recently added a new restaurant near the elephants and its sooooo goooood! Also the science museum is absolutely amazing!!!!! It’s got all kinds of cool thing like a mirror maze and a Segway course and a bunch of other cool things! 💕💕
the OKC zoo and Trapper's fish camp would make excellent additions to this list! I really like OKC
You posted this the day before I left Oklahoma City and went back home on the coast.
Not listed, the amazing Olympic white water training facility at the boathouse district
I lived In Oklahoma my whole life and for any new terrorists who go to Oklahoma, i recommend a small diner called White Dog Hill on route 66. It's out of the city and more of a drive located in Clinton but it is the best steak I ever had in my life and the view you get from the diner is absolutely amazing.
Ahh you should’ve stop at the Science Museum of Oklahoma
This was a great video! Would love to visit the city someday!
The Oklahoma City zoo is a good place to visit.
Thanks for visiting our great city!
Mad beer chugging skills !!
I live in OKC and we went to the Cowboy Museum for a school trip and it was awesome!
Lol I can't believe somebody made a video about Oklahoma city!!
The "milk bottle building" as you called it is NOT on Route 66. It's on N Classen Blvd 400ft North northwest of NW 23rd St. and it's actually called Milk Bottle Grocery. And then there's the historic Gold Dome which is on the southeastern corner of the NW 23rd & N Classen Blvd intersection. Also right in that same area is an Amazing sandwich shop called Some Place Else
Hi
This is Very nice city.....
It's Trash
Anns chicken fry is pretty good on nw 39th expressway, I forget what its called but its a item on the menu that combines chicken fried steak,fries, and smothered with gravy it is so good it's small but reminds me of a 50's restaurant. The ok zoo, restaurants on hefner lake, Paseo, river sporting events, rock climbing at okc rocks. Thanks for sharing there was stuff on your list that I haven't got to do yet!
Dont forget the 1200 mmj shops &counting
I live in okc, you did pretty good if you ever come through O City again I’m willing to show you the cool hidden gems of okc
