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.

Paseo and plaza district if you are into art. Especially during festivals or art walk nights.

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.

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.

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 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.

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!

Oklahoma City also has many venues which feature a wide range of live music any given night of the week. 🎼

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.
