How many ways does the Tulsa Garden Center grow? By the thousands, judging from the number of specimens and gardens that make up this sprawling center that's known as the horticultural headquarters for Tulsa. The attraction is open to the public and admission to stroll the grounds is free.

There's nothing like the country club life, especially when you get the chance to yell "Fore!" at the Oaks Country Club. The gorgeous, 18-hole championship golf course was designed by famed golf course architect A.W. Tillinghast and features 6,465 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 71.

Stroll hand-in-hand at Utica Square, a village-like retail and restaurant center that is an anchor of midtown Tulsa. Have dinner at the Stonehorse Café and do some dazzling window shopping (or buying?) at Moody's Jewelry, for starters.

Get inspired at the little theater that could. Beating all odds, the Tulsa Little Theatre is an intimate affair that seats 260 patrons and stages modern comedies like "Jack Benny: Comedian in Bloom" and "Are We There Yet?" It was rebuilt after its original building fell into disrepair.
