Spring is here, and Tulsa is ready. The weather's great, everything’s blooming, and the city’s packed with ways to get outside and enjoy it. Here are ten easy ways to make the most of it.
The views from the new Williams Crossing Pedestrian Bridge at Gathering Place are worth the walk. Take in the skyline, the Arkansas River, and the vibrant energy of spring in the park.
Pack the car and head to Sapulpa for a movie under the stars. The Teepee Drive-In offers a nostalgic outdoor movie night with snacks, scenery, and a little small-town charm.
Philbrook’s gardens are especially beautiful this time of year, and admission is just five dollars on Fridays. Don’t miss the current exhibit SAMURAI: Armor from the Collection of Ann and Gabriel Barbier-Mueller, recently featured in Smithsonian Magazine.
Thursday nights are the perfect excuse to slow down at the Tulsa Botanic Garden. Their Bands & Blooms series offers a chance to enjoy live music, stroll through spring blooms, and take in the monumental FLORIGAMI IN THE GARDEN sculpture exhibit.
Tucked inside Mohawk Park, Oxley Nature Center is full of quiet trails and wildlife sightings. A walk here is the perfect way to spend a gorgeous spring afternoon.
There’s always something happening at Guthrie Green. Try Yoga on the Lawn, eat at Food Truck Wednesdays, catch an outdoor concert, or dance at Sunday Salsa on the Green.
7. Catch a Tulsa Drillers Game
Nothing says spring like baseball at ONEOK Field. Grab a lawn seat, enjoy the view of downtown, and cheer on the Tulsa Drillers as the sun sets behind the skyline.
Spring is the perfect time to explore Tulsa’s parks, trails, and cultural spots. Whatever you choose, take advantage of the longer days and warmer evenings to get outside and enjoy all the city has to offer.
