Spend an afternoon at the Oklahoma Railway Museum enjoying the displays of freight cars, passenger cars, and a real steam engine. In addition to the trains, you can check out other railroad equipment, including motor cars, locomotives, and more. Plus, there's a display car filled with permanent exhibits of railroad memorabilia. But what sets the Oklahoma Railway Museum apart is the chance to see history in motion. You can ride on the trains that helped shape America's transportation industry and feel like you're stepping back in time if you visit on the first and third Saturdays from April to August. And the best part? Admission to the museum is entirely free.

Did you know that Oklahoma City has an award-winning community theater? The Jewel Box Theatre has provided exceptional live performances from August through May for over 52 years. What's even more impressive is that it's the recipient of the Governor's Arts Award. The theater-in-the-round is home to some of the state's most talented actors, directors, and set designers. They've been entertaining locals with their exceptional productions for generations. The Jewel Box Theatre has existed since 1911 when it was known as the "Jewel Box Players." It's the longest-operating, non-union theater company in Oklahoma and has gained a reputation for producing some of the best theatrical performances in the state. Despite its age, the theater hosts six diverse productions yearly, including comedies, dramas, musicals, classics, and even originals.
