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.


Tulsa Theater

You might still know it as the Brady Theater. It was renamed Tulsa Theater in 2019, but it’s the same 1914 building and still one of downtown’s best places to see a show.

El Rio Verde

A multiple-time winner of “Best Mexican Food” and the real deal. The downtown lunch crowd keeps it busy, so expect a short wait at peak times. It’s worth it. Open weekdays only.

Pick a piece of unfinished pottery, paint it however you want, and they’ll glaze and fire it for you. Locations in Brookside and on 91st Street. A good way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Sherwin Miller Museum of Jewish Art

This museum holds the largest collection of Judaica in this part of the country, and it’s built around promoting understanding between cultures. Note that it’s closed Wednesdays except for scheduled tours.
