May in OKC

With Memorial Day Weekend and summer on the horizon, Oklahoma City is ready with a plethora of socially-distant and fun things to do this month. Here are a few recommendations of ways to safely discover the Modern Frontier this May!

Get Outdoors

With summer quickly approaching, it's the perfect time to take advantage of Oklahoma City's exemplary outdoor recreation options! Hit the water at RIVERSPORT Adventures. Run or bike the trails at Lake Hefner. With a skating rink, paddle boats on the lake, a splash pad and more, you can make a day of it at OKC's newest urban park, Scissortail Park. Cast a line at Stinchcomb Wildlife Refuge or go birdwatching at Martin Nature Park. Explore all the outdoor fun the Modern Frontier has to offer, including the best places to cool off.

Explore Indoors

Several of Oklahoma City's best attractions are opening new exhibits in May! Travel to London to solve crime at Science Museum Oklahoma's Sherlock Holmes exhibit. Time travel to the Mesozoic era to see dinosaurs in action at the Oklahoma City Zoo's brand-new Dino Safari. The Oklahoma City Museum of Art's two new exhibitions, both of which open May 15, will take you from the Italian countryside to seeing classical mythology come to life through Renaissance artists. Don't forget to head over to the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum for the return of their annual Chuck Wagon Festival May 29-30.

Root for the Home Teams

Foam fingers at the ready: sports are back in the Modern Frontier with fans in attendance! The Oklahoma City Dodgers kick-off their season this month. Don your Dodger Blue and support the home team at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark! Footie fans rejoice because the Energy FC is back on the pitch at Taft Stadium this month. Collegiate sports are headed to Oklahoma City in May, too! The Big XII Softball Championship will be at USA Softball Hall of Fame Stadium May 14-15, and then the Phillips 66 Big XII Baseball Championship returns to Bricktown this Memorial Day Weekend.
