June in OKC
Summer is here and Oklahoma City is ready with a plethora of fun things to do! Celebrate Father's Day at one of the top barbecue spots in the city. If you're looking for more adventurous ways to celebrate, here are a few recommendations of ways to discover the Modern Frontier this month.
Cool off for the Summer
It's summertime in the Modern Frontier, which means it can get a little warm! No need to sweat though, there are plenty of spots to cool off around town. Run through the splash pad at Scissortail Park. Hit up all the water slides at Hurricane Harbor. If you want to get a work out in, go water rafting at RIVERSPORT Adventures. Spend the day at Lake Hefner kayaking or paddle boarding. There's a splash pad at Bar K for the pups to cool down in. End the day with a relaxing cruise along the Oklahoma River.
Attend an Event
