I used their bike on the history tour but brought my bike on the Halloween/Haunted House tour Their bikes are a great and comfy hybrid style with lights and bells; all of the needed safety items. They also offered helmets if you don't bring your own. As a cyclist I totally recommend some light fingerless gloves in case of a fall, because sometimes falls happen... even when stationary Their knowledge of edificial architecture and history with the State's growth and economy during the formative years was impressive. I really enjoyed the format with riding and listening to music, chatting with other bikers, and interacting with other -estrians and motorists The halloween/haunted house tour was so fun. The weather was so beautiful this night. It wasn't a typical end of October night where it's usually super cold or the first freeze for the end of the year. The tour guide knew all of the spooky stories. Oklahoma unfortunately has a sordid history with its establishment and economic development, so I am sure there are many stories that can be added to this event as the years go on and stories come to light I look forward to a brewery tour and other riding events, but I think this is a great activity for anyone and undoubtedly so for a group

I guess "Kids don't do drugs" comes to mind from talking to him. He was quite the space cadet and am not sure why he was so apprehensive about answering simple questions. It is about the size of a living room and has a fridge, etc in it, hence part of my curiousity. The artwork in there seems demonic, which is fine but there wasn't too much in it. I am still confused what the premise of this place is. If you catch the owner when he is not high, you may get a better answer.

Our captain Marcus had a great sense of humor and had historical knowledge about Bricktown that we never would have known. I definitely recommend finding a seat under the tarp, it was comfortable there. The sun was beating down pretty hard and I think I would have gotten a sunburn if I hadn't of been under the shaded seats. The whole process from getting the tickets to getting off the boat was very smooth and easy. We paid $15 for a 45 min. Boat ride. Worth every penny! You can also bring your drinks aboard, which is nice.

Our tour guide, Anitta, was great! She was very fun and shared great tid bits of history and info. We went at 4:30 on a Saturday and our ride was perfect - not too packed as compared to other times. I definitely would recommend purchasing a ticket, at minimum, a couple hours or even days prior to going. I could see this being much more popular in warmer months. It was already very popular at the beginning of April on a colder day. Overall, if you are checking out the Bricktown area and want a fun activity to do, check out the water taxi! it's only 30 minutes and you get to see the whole area and then some!

We started in the old barn, where both employees & several volunteers were there to give us a quick run down of the family & what to expect. Then, we were led to the house & given the opportunity to explore! Each room is opulent with painted ceilings, ritzy carpets & very fancy furniture from the late 1800s. The history is amazing & was so fun to learn about. The volunteers were wonderful & knew a LOT of great facts. We LOVED our time & are hoping to return around Christmas.

Especially in terms of classical beauty and architecture. It looks old and yet new. It's different... but the same. Oh wait I was channeling Bill & Ted. It looks so quaint it could be in Disneyland - but it's absolutely real and not fake at all. Unlike my girl. I don't get tired of driving around the back streets of this neighbourhood and seeing this gorgeous building. And there's computers... and SAN DIMAS HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL RULES!

Review #58 Live on…read morethe Plaza Festival: Location: Plaza District, NW 16th Street, between Classen Ave and Penn Ave. From 1624 N. Blackwelder Ave, OKC, OK 73106 along 16th Street to N. Indiana Ave. Time: The "Live on the Plaza" Festival is held every 2nd Friday of each month, from 6-9pm, sometimes until 10pm. Parking: Well, lets just say it's a major pain to find close parking in the Plaza on any Friday night, but especially the second Friday of the month for this art walk. Most of the spaces are angled on each side of NW 16th Street and some are blocked off for the vendors and food trucks. The parking lot across from the Lyric is reserved for those attending theatre performances. So most people have to park in the neighborhood areas next to people's homes. There are some parking spaces behind The Mule for $2 for 2 hours during the day and $5 in the evening. Info: The Plaza District holds a free arts walk event where the art galleries and businesses stay open longer for people to view and purchase artwork and other items. Most times there are food trucks and live bands to enjoy while you walk the Plaza area, to eat and drink at the local restaurants, as well as listen to the bands while discovering artists. The infamous Plaza Walls, where artists paint murals on the sides of businesses, fences, and alley ways, is a big attraction. The murals are revolving, as the Oklahoma Mural Syndicate invites different artists to paint their inspirations, on a rotating basis. In fact, speaking of the Plaza Walls; the past and present murals are available in print for purchase until they sell out! Check the Plaza Galleries for sales. Every month there is a new theme and the main sponsors are Fowler Automotive and the Oklahoma Credit Union. In April the theme was "Earth Day!" This month in May, tonight, the theme is the 19th Annual "deadCenter Film Festival Takeover!" Posted on Friday, 10 May 2019

It wasn't until October, when I passed through OKC with German and a friend mentioned the memorial, that I looked it up. This time, passing through again and not in a rush, I decided to visit the memorial on a Sunday. I couldn't find the parking garage mentioned on the website, so I parked across the street in the post office lot since it was Sunday (I don't think this would be okay on weekdays). When I asked a staff member about parking, she said that was fine. The memorial grounds themselves are beautiful and open to the public 24/7 for free. You can walk around the Gate of Time and the Field of Empty Chairs, which was especially moving, though the atmosphere felt quite heavy and chilling. it was decorated with the Christmas wreath, but there's definitely nothing about holidays cheer can be felt here Please note that bags larger than 14 inches are not allowed inside the museum. Museum admission is $18, and you're supposed to get free parking at a nearby garage, though directions weren't very clear. The museum starts on the second floor and tells the story of the 168 people who died in the 1995 bombing. What struck me most was how it emphasized that it was just an ordinary morning--people checking in to work before 9 a.m., unaware of what was about to happen. The museum was a bit crowded when I visited, likely because it was Sunday, and some visitors brought young kids who were running around, which felt a little distracting given the nature of the space. I don't think many people still actively think about this event, but if you ever find yourself in Oklahoma City, I do think it's worth visiting. It's a powerful and sobering experience.
