Moving to Oklahoma City? What You Need to Know

Oklahoma City is a great place to live if you’re relocating to a luxury apartment for a new job. You'll find an abundance of restaurants, attractions and community events to fill your free time and keep you from getting bored as you settle in. In this city nicknamed "The Big Friendly," there’s always something to do or see around town. 

The city is full of historic places to visit and is host to all kinds of events and attractions to keep you busy. Here are a few of our favorite things about Oklahoma City.

Complimentary Wi-Fi

Many of the city's restaurants, cafés, bookstores and libraries offer free Wi-Fi for their patrons. These are just a few places that offer this service, but there are many more around the city as well so you can stay on top of your business while you do other things. So, settle in with a cup of steaming Café Americano while you check your email, post on social media sites and send documents online.

Restaurants

Just like many other cities, Oklahoma City is home to many fast food places, and has some incredible fine dining restaurants. Cattleman's Steakhouse, located in the Stockyards City area, is a popular restaurant with a western theme. You have to try their signature dish, the Lamb fries. If you're looking for a restaurant with a view of the city, try Vast located in the Devon Tower, one of the city's tallest skyscrapers. There are even many restaurants that welcome pets.

Culture

If you like to browse through museums, you'll love the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, the Oklahoma Railway Museum, the Oklahoma City Museum of Art and the Museum of Osteology, a museum devoted to the study of bones.

Attractions

The Myriad Botanical Gardens, Oklahoma City Zoo, Oklahoma Aquarium, White Water Bay, Springlake Amusement Park and H&H Shooting Sports are a few fun places to visit in OKC. Check their websites for dates and hours of operation as well as admission prices.

Events

Besides the Oklahoma State Fair, there are music concerts, horse shows and rodeos, annual events, and family activities to entertain young and old. 

For more events check the Oklahoma City Gazette, Slice Oklahoma City Magazine, and the Metro Family calendar to plan some fun things to attend or places to visit.
