2 days in OK City

Hi all.

Just 2 quick questions.

1) I will have 2 days (17-18 May) spare before joining a storm chasing tour and I was wondering what to do and what not to do. Any ideas?

2) Are there any areas of OK City you don%26#39;t recommend taking a stroll through? I will be probably staying at the airport Holiday Inn. Is it safe to go for a stroll in this area?

Thanks for the assistance.

What are your interests? It might help to direct you to things you would like if you let us know. :)

As for the area, there isn%26#39;t a whole lot to walk to or see around that hotel. Not sure I would want to just stroll around the area, although you aren%26#39;t all that far from a walking/biking trail end on the Oklahoma River (About 1/3 mile.) I haven%26#39;t been on the trails in that area, but if you are walking them by day it should be fine.

Post more about what you might want to see and I%26#39;m sure there will be a lot of suggestions.

But in general, in the downtown area (about 1 mile north and 5 miles east of the hotel) there is Bricktown (http://www.bricktownokc.com/), the Oklahoma City Museum of Art(http://www.okcmoa.com/), The OKC National Memorial Museum (Murrah Bombing) (http://www.oklahomacitynationalmemorial.org/), along with other things to see.

And north of your location (about 15 miles or so total distance) is the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum http://www.nationalcowboymuseum.org/).

I agree with modcon. You probably CAN stroll near the airport Holiday Inn, but why would anyone WANT to? It%26#39;s just a strip of business spread out along large parking lots.

Why would you be staying there? It would make more sense, if you%26#39;re wanting to stroll and learn something about Oklahoma City, for you to stay in the downtown or Bricktown areas.

I very much agree with modcon and twoprofs. I really really hope you can stay somewhere else.

The Bricktown/downtown area would really be nice for you.

Another area to consider is the northwest highway corridor....more or less Classen west to west of May. It%26#39;s more suburban with some nice mid-range hotels, restaurants, a good shopping center, and reasonably easy drives to the National Heritage Museum and downtown to Bricktown, OKC Museum of Art, the OKC memorial, and other attractions. You would need a car.

Please post back and let us know if you are locked into the HI or not.

Oops. I should have written National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. Got in a hurry. Modcon gave you the website. Sorry.

I agree that you should try to stay in downtown or Bricktown if you want to walk to places of interest, but if you do choose the Meridian Corridor (airport hotels), there is a trolley that will take you to downtown for cheap (around $1 I believe), and you can walk to a lot of things from there.

Here%26#39;s my list of the best things to do in OKC.
