Traveler advice
What to pack
Dress for "all the seasons"
In OKC, you will really be able to enjoy the four seasons depending on the time of the year you are visiting.
Please plan your outfits accordingly. You will likely experience the hot and humid summer weather, which would be perfect for a dip in the pool, or the freezing winter snow should you decide to visit right after the new year.
Either way, bundle up and prepare for the weather!
Getting around
Rent a car!
Please see the "15min rule" if you need a reference. If you are here to sight see, a rental car would probably suit your needs better than Uber/Lyft due to the "15min rule". Costs can add up if you are using the service 8-10/day
Getting around
How far you ask? The "15min rule"
If you're new into town, remember the 15min rule stated above. In land area, OKC is the 3rd largest in all of the US. Almost everything will be a minimum of a 15min drive to reach your destination. It would be wise to plan ahead knowing the "15min rule"
