Play, explore, and dine at Bricktown, Oklahoma City's hottest entertainment district on the banks of the Bricktown canal. Enjoy canal-side restaurants, retail shops, museums, sports venues, and movie theaters. See public art and street performance art. Take a horse-drawn carriage ride or float down the canal on a boat tour. There's plenty to keep you busy while you hang out at Bricktown. This thriving urban district is home to more than 45 restaurants, bars, retail shops, family-friendly attractions, public art, museums, galleries, and even an urban beach for summer fun. This area's diversity of businesses, educational institutions, housing, and leisure activities make it a true 24/7 destination, one of the most distinct and historic in OKC.

Blue Zoo is a fantastic place to visit. You'll have access to the aquarium, all the animal exhibits, shows, and play areas.
