Oklahoma City & Frontier Country

Welcome to Frontier Country, where wooded hill country gradually transitions into rolling short-grass prairie in the heart of Oklahoma. This region was once part of the wild-and-rowdy Great American Frontier. Although Oklahoma’s territorial frontier days have ended, the remarkable spirit of this thriving crossroads region embodies the feisty independence of bygone days. Today, new frontiers are emerging in a renaissance rooted in the best of the past and the bright horizons of the future, as Oklahoma embarks on its second century of statehood.

Located in Frontier County and at the heart of the state, Oklahoma City’s western charm and lively atmosphere create the perfect backdrop for your next holiday. Oklahoma city is broken down into different neighbourhoods with their own unique offerings. Once a busy warehouse area, Bricktown is Oklahoma City’s hottest entertainment and dining district. With dozens of restaurants, shopping, Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark, Harkins Theatre and a generous helping of turn-of-the-century charm, Bricktown offers visitors a variety of activities in downtown Oklahoma City. Located just one block from the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

Oklahoma City

If you’re looking to fill the day (or weekend) with family-friendly adventures, Oklahoma City’s Adventure District has you covered. This two-mile area includes the can’t-miss National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum, the nationally-renowned Oklahoma City Zoo & Botanical Gardens and plenty of hands-on family fun at Science Museum Oklahoma.

For over half a century, Oklahoma City was home to every major motion picture studio from Hollywood, California. Studios hosted hundreds of their film exchange distribution offices in what has become the historic Film Row business district. Located in the heart of Downtown Oklahoma City, the creative presence at Sheridan and Lee Avenues includes a mixture of art galleries, businesses, radio stations, movie houses, locally-owned restaurants and much more.

The Deep Deuce district of Oklahoma City is small but carries tremendous historical significance as a metro center for jazz music and African-American culture.

The Boathouse District along the Oklahoma River is a hotspot for outdoor recreation. It’s the official U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Training Site for rowing and canoe/kayak and hosts numerous regattas throughout the year. But there’s plenty to do for non-Olympians too. Anyone can enjoy kayaking, dragon boating, stand up paddle boarding and cycling, with rentals from the Chesapeake Boathouse.

Surrounded by beautiful older neighborhoods that offer an abundance of charm and heritage, Western Avenue’s roots go back to the days of historic Route 66.

Developed in 1929 as the first shopping district north of downtown, the Paseo Arts District is now home to 17 galleries and more than 60 artists. The curved, two-block street is filled with Spanish revival architecture, not to mention great restaurants, a coffee house, boutiques, gift shops and more.

A visit to Stockyards City is a great way to experience the authentic American West that’s still alive and well in this modern metropolis. Home to a number of shops specializing in all things western, you can outfit an entire ranch (cattle included) or just find a new pair of boots and enjoy a great steak.

Gutherie

As Oklahoma’s territorial capital, Guthrie’s ongoing restoration efforts make the town’s downtown area the largest Historic Preservation District in the nation. Take a trolley tour through downtown to find fascinating history, one-of-a-kind stores and more than a dozen bed and breakfasts housed in charming Victorian-era buildings, or hear the history behind local hauntings on a spooky Guthrie Ghost Walk. Discover the diverse collections of Guthrie’s many museums, including the Oklahoma Territorial Museum & Carnegie Library.

Arcadia

Arcadia may be a small town, but it has a huge claim to fame as a Route 66 hot spot not far from Oklahoma City. Travellers up and down the Mother Road make it a point to stop at the architecturally significant Round Barn and POPS just minutes away from each other in Arcadia. Built in 1898, the Round Barn was restored in 1992 after standing for 90 years. Marvel at the only barn of its kind with a perfectly round circumference, which is still one of the most photographed attractions along Route 66.

Part gas station, part diner and part architectural marvel, POPS has a sleek modern design and serves over 600 different types of soda. Have fun picking out your favorites and take a few flavors to try on the road as you head back out on Route 66. In the summer, stop at Crestview Farms for u-pick berries and certified organic produce as the perfect end to your family friendly trip to Arcadia.
