60 Fun Things To Do In Tulsa

My biggest list of things to do in Tulsa: parks, museums, live music, local food, and plenty of free stuff. Every entry checked and updated for 2026.

“It Be Bad!” is the slogan, and they live up to it. Extra hungry? Get the Badwich. Elmer’s is open Wednesday through Saturday.

NYC Pizza

Tucked away near 47th and Harvard, just north of I-44. This is real New York style pizza, and I still think it beats everything else in town. Thank me later.

Napa Flats Wood-Fired Kitchen

California-style food with an Italian lean, made from scratch over a wood-fired grill. Everything I’ve had here has been good. It’s just across the river from the Oklahoma Aquarium, so pair the two.

Tatermash

A one-of-a-kind shop at 31st and Harvard. Aprons, bags, tablecloths, and more, and nearly all of it made from oilcloth. This local business has been around a long time for good reason.
