For more fun on the water, check out the splash pads at Myriad Gardens, rent a pedal boat on the lake at Scissortail Park or cruise the Bricktown Canal on the Bricktown Water Taxi.

TAP INTO YOUR ARTSY SIDE

If you're looking to be inspired, check out one of OKC's art galleries or museums. Visit the Oklahoma City Museum of Art's Discovering Ansel Adams exhibit, featuring an unprecedented and eye-opening examination of the early career of one of America’s most renowned photographers. Get outside and explore OKC's art scene. Voted the best city in the U.S. for Street Art by USA Today, Oklahoma City is home to vibrant murals which bring beautiful pops of color to the landscape. Go mural chasing through the districts and make time to visit Plaza Walls in the Plaza District.
