Things To Do
When you’re living on Tulsa Time, there’s no limit to what you can do. Whether you're looking for family friendly adventures or interactive experiences, Tulsa has something for everyone. With four distinct seasons and an average of 227 sunny days per year, any time of year is an excellent one to visit Tulsa.
Music, Museums & More
A music mecca that inspired its own genre (the Tulsa Sound), T-Town is packed with performances year-round. Catch a show at the award-winning BOK Center or historic Cain’s Ballroom, or tour one of our music-centric attractions like the legendary Church Studio. Uncover music history, Tulsa history and more at one of our many area museums–or take a trip down memory lane, also known as Route 66.
Make sure to head outside while you're here to take in our wide-open skies and picturesque sunsets. Plus, don't forget to check out the legendary Tulsa dining scene.
