Your Ultimate Guide to Oklahoma! 🚗🌄

First things first—make sure you have a car! 🚗 Gas is affordable here, and driving is a must. If you, like me, enjoy a slow and relaxing pace, Oklahoma is perfect. But be prepared: bugs are EVERYWHERE 🐛, and even late September can still hit over 30°C! On the bright side, the sunsets are absolutely stunning every single day! 🌇 🍴 FOOD RECOMMENDATIONS Culprits 🔥 Creative dishes are their specialty—must try the flaming scallops! The buttery aroma and dramatic presentation are worth it. Perfect for dinner! Hefner Grill 🌙 Overlooking the river with beautiful views, especially at night. Live music adds to the vibe—so romantic and relaxing! 99 Flavor BBQ & Hotpot 🍲 BBQ, hotpot, and spicy malatang all in one place! Their crayfish with beer is a hit. Great spot for girls’ night out! 💃 Ling’s Cake 🎂 A hidden gem for dessert lovers! Their mille crepe cakes (Earl Grey and Tiramisu) are even better than Lady M’s. Soft, rich, and totally addictive—a must-try! 🎡 THINGS TO DO Scissortail Park 🌳 A iconic downtown park with amazing skyline views. Peaceful during the day, magical at night. Bricktown River Walk Park 🚶‍♀️ Historic red-brick district with a charming riverside path. Lots of restaurants and bars nearby—don’t miss the boat tour! Myriad Botanical Gardens 🌸📸 Free outdoor gardens, perfect for photos! If it’s hot, escape to the tropical indoor greenhouse. So lush and fragrant! National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum 🤠 A must-visit for Western culture and Native American art. Educational and visually impressive! Wheeler Ferris Wheel 🎡 Experience the city from above! Especially romantic at sunset. If you have time, drive to Lake Hefner for a walk by the water or enjoy a meal at a lakeside restaurant. OU and OSU campuses are pretty but can be a bit quiet—still, great for relaxing with friends! 🥰 #TravelUSA #USWeekend #ExploreAmerica #Oklahoma #OKCFood #OklahomaCity #TravelDiary
