Broken Arrow’s Rose District
The heart of downtown Broken Arrow. Shops, restaurants, and events on a walkable Main Street. It’s grown a lot since I first wrote this list, and it’s worth the short drive.
Brookside
One of Tulsa’s longest-running nightlife districts, along Peoria south of 31st. It’s also full of boutiques, restaurants, and coffee shops, so try it in the afternoon too. It’s a completely different place in daylight.
Tulsa Art Deco Museum
Inside the gilded lobby of the Philcade Building downtown, the Tulsa Art Deco Museum shows off the design style Tulsa is famous for. The building alone is worth stepping into.
McClure Park
Near 11th and Memorial, McClure Park is a good place to wind down. It has a disc golf course, playgrounds, racquetball courts, and a big pool with slides.
