We have all experienced that feeling of restlessness and pure boredom during the summertime. If you're looking for something to do in Tulsa this summer, here is a list of ideas:
Go to Josh's Sno Shack.
Josh’s Sno Shack has become an essential part of every Tulsan's summer. Even with multiple locations all over the city, the lines can still be a little long, but the delicious snow cones are always worth the wait!

Watch a movie at the drive-in.
The Admiral Twin Drive-In theater makes for a perfect date night this summer. Tickets are just $7 and its much easier to sneak snacks in.
Have a picnic in the park.
Tulsa is full of parks. Chandler Park, Riverside Park, Hunter Park, La Fortune Park, Woodward park, and I’m sure there are more. Grab a blanket or your hammock, pack a lunch, and enjoy being outside!
Ride bikes down Riverside.
The Riverside Parks trail has free bike rentals. The trail goes all the way down riverside, but its up to you how far you want to ride.
Go bowling.

Play putt-putt.

Go to the Oklahoma Aquarium.
The Oklahoma Aquarium is filled with some pretty fascinating aquatic life and definitely worth visiting, especially if you’ve never been.
Go to the zoo.
The Tulsa Zoo is filled with all sorts of animals, everything from Lions to Penguins. The amount of walking can be a bit grueling, but luckily there is a train you can ride that circles around the entire Zoo!
Go to the farmer’s market.
On Main Street in Jenks and on Cherry Street there are farmer’s markets on Saturday mornings. Whether you go to buy fresh produce, or just to get out of the house, it’s a great atmosphere and a lot of fun.
