It's a quick 30-45 minute water cruise on a man‑made canal that's only about 3-4 feet deep, so you definitely have to go in with the right mindset and make the best of it. Our taxi wasn't too crowded, and since we had time to kill, it ended up being a perfect, easy outing. Trying to avoid a crowded ride is definitely recommended. The ride doesn't stop, not that seen!

The path is lined with stone markers and engraved history panels, including the "Ancient Mississippian Symbols" display, which gives you a glimpse into the Indigenous cultures that were here long before Oklahoma became a state. It's a nice mix of art, history, and scenery -- you've got the canal water, public sculptures, and these quiet little stops that make you slow down and actually read what's in front of you. The statues and carvings nearby add a lot of presence to the space without feeling overly crowded or touristy. Overall, it's a peaceful and interesting walk that feels more meaningful than your average city path. Worth taking your time with if you're in Bricktown and want something a little more reflective than just restaurants and nightlife.

Centennial Land Run Monument -- An Impressive Piece of Oklahoma History…read more Even with Oklahoma temperatures flirting with all-time highs, I wasn't going to let the heat stop me from visiting the Centennial Land Run Monument! And I'm glad I didn't. This is a fantastic tribute to Oklahoma and the historic Land Run of 1889. The sheer size and detail of the bronze sculptures are impressive. Horses, wagons, riders and families are captured in motion, giving you a real sense of the excitement and chaos that must have surrounded that day. The monument features 45 larger-than-life bronze figures created by Oklahoma artist Paul Moore, and seeing them up close gives you a much better appreciation for the scale and craftsmanship involved. (Visit Oklahoma City) There was one advantage to visiting during the brutal Oklahoma heat -- hardly anyone else was there! I practically had the monument to myself and was able to walk around, take my time and get some really great photos without crowds. It's outdoors, open year-round and completely free, making this an easy stop if you're visiting Bricktown or exploring Oklahoma City. (Visit Oklahoma City) A beautiful piece of artwork, an interesting piece of Oklahoma history, and absolutely worth seeing. Five stars from me!

The whole installation commemorates the Land Run of 1889, when settlers surged into the Unassigned Lands to stake homesteads in what would become Oklahoma Territory. The scale of the installation here is enormous, with dozens of figures charging forward. Horses stretched mid-stride, wagons tilting, every dace carved with urgency. One has clearly fallen in their haste. It really does tell the tale. We had the place mostly to ourselves which made it easy to slow and take in the detail. The only interruption was a family who decided the clearly posted "no climbing" sign was more of a suggestion than a rule and that's why we can't have nice things. Grrr! But even that didn't take away from the artistry. Paul Moore spent more than twenty years bringing this to life and the result is one of the largest bronze sculpture installations in the world, honoring the settlers who raced out on April 22, 1889.

My best friend rented this venue for her wedding ceremony in June and although the event space was beautiful, the owner (Rachel) and some of the staff did not meet expectations. I understand that the venue is a historical monument to the city (old post office from 1915), but certain rules made it impossible to efficiently utilize the space. One example is that no large, heavy, or bulky items can enter through the front doors. The front doors are original to the building, and I understand not wanting heavy or bulky items going through them, but we weren't even allowed to bring delicate floral runners through the front doors because Rachel thought they would mess her doors up (see photos for the florals runners). We were instructed to use the rear doors which was not in our favor having to transport items at a further distance in the sweltering summer heat. Rachel also got onto us a few times for leaving her historic doors "open" while going in and out of them for fear of losing AC (more to come on that) even though we were being adamant about closing them. I inspected the doors and realized they were misaligned at the strike plates and hinges (probably because they're 107 year old doors that weren't properly maintained/sustained by the owner) which was causing the doors to constantly be open unless locked from the inside. The inside of the venue was absolutely gorgeous, but again, the rules were such a dampener for arguably one of the most important days of my best friend's life. Brides & Grooms beware, both dressing rooms are upstairs next to each other without any sort of partition so there's very little privacy if you're worried about seeing each other before the ceremony. The owner also does not allow any alcohol upstairs in the dressing rooms unless specifically bought from her, which I felt was one way to nickel-and-dime her bride and groom on their wedding day. There is antique furniture in one of the bedrooms such as a bed, sofa, and dresser, that the owner will not allow you to touch, look at, or even breathe near unless you want to be fined. The AC, or lack thereof, made it extremely uncomfortable getting ready in the upstairs dressing rooms. Rachel told us numerous times to close the blinds upstairs, which we did, but it still didn't help make the rooms any cooler and made it difficult having photos taken without natural lighting. Rachel's staff (specifically bartenders) were late, underdressed, and didn't provide the services that were agreed upon in the contract. The wedding guests were supposed to be served champagne while they were being seated for the ceremony and then served cocktails immediately after the ceremony for cocktail hour. Neither of these agreements were met. Rachel also requires the customer renting out the venue to clean up all trash prior to exiting the space. You read that right - that means all trash from your guests, restrooms, anywhere on the premise, etc must be thrown out by you. This was not previously communicated so I, along with the other bridesmaids, groomsmen, bride, groom, and even their parents were dragging stinky, leaky, trash bags out to dumpsters that were a block away from the venue in our formal attire. My best friend (the Bride) did all of the coordination with Rachel in booking the venue, and from what I heard and saw, it was extremely difficult working with her. There was lack of communication from the very beginning and there were so many other things that weren't specified and that went wrong that she didn't acknowledge. Would not recommend using this space for events larger than 40 people as the staff and management don't seem to be equipped to handle anything larger.

I was…read morein a wedding party that made use of all of the venue's features including the outdoor trellis for the ceremony, the get ready rooms upstairs, and the back kitchen. Festivities has been updated from an old post office and has that vintage vibe currently so popular among brides. While it is located in El Reno, the drive is not that far for brides from the city. We had the venue from 10am to midnight. My only complaint is that the get ready room for the bridal party is not very private. There is no bathroom attached to the bridal suite, so you have to go out into the main area to use the bathroom. The women's bathroom only has one functional stall. The other is a urinal. The venue didn't provide any hand towels or paper towels to dry hands in the bathroom. Only one toilet and sink wasn't a problem for us, but larger bridal parties should be aware. The groom's suite is also upstairs and not partitioned from the bridal area, so brides concerned with being seen before the ceremony may want to find another venue, like a nearby hotel for their grooms to get ready. The staff is very friendly, but they are very strict about their rules. For example, you can't use the antique furniture in the rooms or you risk being charged. They also made the party remove the beads that we had placed on the tables for decoration. They are very strict about their liquor license; you can't bring outside liquor upstairs to the get ready room. Even though there are a lot of rules, the staff is still very kind when they enforce them. Overall, this venue is very cool and has a lot of features all in one place. The reasonable cost compensates for the strict rules and the bathroom issue.
